    The Main Methods UK Businesses & Organisations Use to Finance Groundcare Equipment

    Groundcare equipment is essential across the UK’s commercial, public-sector, and non-profit
    organisations. From maintaining golf courses and sports venues to managing public parks, highways,
    estates, and agricultural land, machinery such as mowers, tractors, sprayers, UTVs, chippers, and
    aerators is fundamental to daily operations.

    Because this machinery is high-value, highly specialised, and often requires regular replacement,
    most organisations do not purchase it outright. Instead, they rely on structured asset finance
    solutions to preserve capital and modernise equipment fleets efficiently.

    As one of the UK’s leading providers of groundcare equipment funding,
    Gable Business Finance supports businesses, councils, schools, estates, sports clubs,
    and contractors with customised finance methods designed around their operational and budget needs.

    1. Hire Purchase (HP)

    Ideal for organisations that want to own the equipment outright

    Hire Purchase is one of the most commonly used finance methods for acquiring groundcare machinery.
    It allows organisations to spread the cost over time while gaining full ownership at the end of the agreement.

    How Hire Purchase Works

    • Optional deposit.
    • Fixed monthly payments across an agreed term (1–7 years).
    • A small final “Option to Purchase” fee transfers ownership.

    Benefits of Hire Purchase

    • Ownership at the end of the term.
    • Flexible payments that can match seasonal budgets.
    • Suitable for new or used equipment with no age limits.
    • VAT can be paid upfront or deferred depending on structure.

    How Gable Supports HP

    Gable Business Finance structures HP agreements for all types of groundcare machinery, including
    tractors, UTVs, mowers, blowers, sprayers, chippers, and turf equipment — whether purchased through
    a dealer, auction, or private seller.

    2. Finance Lease

    Flexible finance with end-of-term options

    Finance Lease is widely used by local authorities, schools, estates, landscapers, and contractors who
    want operational flexibility without immediate ownership.

    How Finance Lease Works

    • Gable purchases the equipment and leases it to the customer.
    • Fixed rental payments made over the term.
    • At the end, customers may return, extend, or sell the equipment.

    Benefits of Finance Lease

    • VAT spread across rentals, not paid upfront.
    • Lower monthly payments compared to HP.
    • Flexible upgrade paths at the end of lease.

    3. Operating Lease / Contract Hire

    The most affordable monthly payment option

    Operating Lease is ideal for equipment that requires frequent upgrading — such as robotic mowers, EV
    utility vehicles, or high-tech turf machinery. The organisation returns the equipment at the end of
    the lease with no obligation to purchase.

    Key Benefits

    • Lowest monthly payments of all finance methods.
    • No residual value risk.
    • Easy replacement at end of contract.
    • Ideal for seasonal fleets and multi-unit agreements.

    4. Asset Refinance

    Unlock cash tied up in existing equipment

    Organisations that already own groundcare machinery can refinance those assets to release capital.
    This is a popular option during budget cycles or when expanding operations.

    Benefits of Asset Refinance

    • Improves cash flow immediately.
    • Allows consolidation of existing finance agreements.
    • Supports fleet expansion or upgrades.
    • Allows funding even for older or privately purchased equipment.

    5. Unsecured Business Loans

    For non-equipment groundcare investments

    Unsecured loans are ideal when funding is required for projects that extend beyond equipment. These
    loans do not require security against machinery and offer quick approval.

    Common Uses

    • Building or upgrading sheds, workshops, or storage facilities.
    • Drainage improvements.
    • Ground renovation or landscaping projects.
    • Irrigation installation or improvements.

    6. Sector-Specific Groundcare Finance by Gable

    Different industries have unique machinery needs. Gable Business Finance provides tailored solutions
    for each sector, ensuring payment structures match operational requirements, cash flow cycles, and
    seasonal budgets.
