Asset finance lets businesses spread the cost of equipment, vehicles, and machinery over monthly payments instead of paying upfront. The asset itself acts as security, which means rates are typically lower than unsecured loans and approval is faster.
You choose the asset you need, apply for finance, and if approved, the lender purchases the asset on your behalf. You make monthly payments over an agreed term (typically 12-60 months). At the end, depending on the finance type, you either own the asset outright (hire purchase), return it (operating lease), or pay a balloon payment (finance lease).
You own the asset at the end of the agreement. Claim capital allowances. Typical rates from 4.8% APR.
Tax-efficient, claim 100% of lease payments against profit. Return or buy at the end via balloon payment.
Off balance sheet. Always have the latest equipment. Return at the end of the term.
Borrow £35,000 at 5.9% over 48 months. Monthly repayment: ~£825. Total repayable: ~£39,600. Your rate depends on your circumstances.

Cambridge is home to one of the world's most productive innovation clusters, known as the Cambridge Cluster or 'Silicon Fen', with over 5,000 knowledge-intensive businesses employing more than 65,000 people across biotechnology, software, electronics, and medical devices.

Funding availability depends on the business and finance required in the East of England area. Whether your Cambridge business needs vehicles and vans or construction plant and machinery, lenders assess each application individually.
Several specialist lenders on our panel work with Cambridge businesses that have imperfect credit histories. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender. Check your options when you apply.
