Frequently asked questions

Can I finance a used compressor?
Yes. Most lenders finance used compressors up to 8 years old. Well-maintained rotary screw compressors have long service lives. Service records and independent inspection may be required.
What deposit do I need?
For hire purchase, most lenders ask for 10–20% deposit. Finance leases and operating leases often require no deposit.
How quickly can I get compressor finance?
Most applications are approved within 24 hours. For deals under £30k, same-day approval is common.
Can I include air treatment equipment?
Yes. Dryers, filters, receivers, and piping can be included in the finance agreement if they're on the same supplier invoice.
