Many UK businesses depend on warehouse facilities, storage systems, and racking solutions to operate efficiently. From logistics providers and e-commerce retailers to manufacturers, distributors, and specialist industries, the need for secure, organised, and scalable storage grows alongside business expansion. Effective racking not only optimises space but also improves safety, order fulfilment, and overall productivity.
This sector accounts for some of the UK’s largest warehouse usage. Freight companies and third-party logistics providers rely heavily on racking systems to manage supply chains efficiently.
Both online retailers and high-street chains need storage space for inventory and order fulfilment. With e-commerce growth, efficient racking systems are essential for quick picking and packing.
Factories and production facilities use racking to store raw materials, components, and finished products securely before distribution.
This industry requires ambient, chilled, and frozen storage solutions, with strict attention to health, safety, and compliance standards.
Businesses in these sectors store heavy or oversized goods. Specialist, robust racking ensures safe handling of tools, parts, and construction materials.
Electronics and IT components demand secure, static-free, and climate-controlled storage to prevent damage and loss.
Large, bulky, and irregularly shaped items often require tailored racking systems for safe and efficient handling.
These industries need secure, climate-controlled storage to preserve sensitive products and ensure compliance with strict regulations.
From law firms to public institutions, many organisations require long-term storage of documents, often using high-density racking systems for efficiency.
Bottom line: As businesses grow, so does the complexity of their storage needs. Investing in professional warehouse and racking solutions ensures smoother logistics, safer operations, and better use of space.
Warehouse expansion, advanced racking systems, and specialist storage equipment are often essential for UK businesses across logistics, retail, manufacturing, and more. However, the upfront cost of building or upgrading facilities can be significant. That’s where specialist business finance solutions play a key role. Whether your company needs new pallet racking, mezzanine floors, temperature-controlled storage, or even a complete warehouse development, there are tailored funding options available.
Gable Asset Finance works with businesses across the UK to provide flexible loans, hire purchase, leasing, and refinance options. These facilities align repayment schedules with revenue, preserve working capital, and support both short-term projects and long-term growth.
Asset finance enables businesses to acquire racking, forklifts, or storage equipment without paying upfront. Instead, the cost is spread over a fixed term.
Example: A fast-growing e-commerce retailer finances £250,000 worth of pallet racking through hire purchase, spreading payments over five years to match revenue growth.
Commercial loans provide a lump sum that can be used for building works, warehouse extensions, or complete facility fit-outs. Loans can be short or long-term depending on the project size and repayment ability.
For major projects, such as constructing new warehouse sites or adding large-scale mezzanine flooring, development finance can provide staged funding. This is often drawn down in phases as construction milestones are achieved.
Businesses can refinance existing warehouse assets, such as forklifts or storage equipment, to unlock cash tied up in current infrastructure. This released capital can then be reinvested into new racking systems or facility upgrades.
UK businesses may also benefit from government-backed finance schemes such as:
A logistics company experiencing rapid growth invests in new high-bay racking. Instead of paying £500,000 upfront, they use a finance lease, matching costs with incoming contracts while preserving working capital for vehicle upgrades.
A chilled foods wholesaler finances temperature-controlled storage through a combination of asset finance and commercial loans, ensuring regulatory compliance while staying competitive.
A national furniture retailer uses refinance to unlock capital from existing racking assets, freeing cash to open a new regional warehouse without stretching cash reserves.
Warehousing, storage, and racking investments are vital for many UK industries, but the cost can be a barrier. Gable Asset Finance provides structured, flexible solutions — from asset finance and hire purchase to refinance and development funding — to help businesses expand and optimise their storage operations sustainably.
Gable Asset Finance specialises in supporting UK waste management and recycling businesses with the finance solutions they need to grow, modernise and remain competitive in a rapidly expanding sector. Our team has seen first-hand how companies across the waste and recycling industry are under pressure to meet rising demand, comply with ambitious government targets, and invest in the circular economy. That requires access to significant funding — something we are uniquely positioned to arrange.
From financing shredders, bailers, sorting lines and recycling plants to structuring development funding for brand-new infrastructure, we help businesses acquire assets without overwhelming their cash reserves. By offering hire purchase, leasing, loans and refinancing options, Gable Asset Finance ensures businesses can align their capital expenditure with revenue generation, while also freeing up liquidity to reinvest in growth and sustainability.
The UK government has set an ambitious target to recycle 65% of municipal waste by 2035. Meeting this target requires substantial investment in processing capacity, vehicles, and technology. Finance is the enabler that allows waste management companies to scale up quickly and sustainably.
The waste sector is at the heart of the UK’s transition to a circular economy — an economic model that emphasises reducing, reusing, and recycling materials. To adopt circular systems, businesses must invest in modern equipment, material recovery facilities, and closed-loop processing lines. These are capital-intensive projects where Gable Asset Finance provides vital funding solutions.
From high-capacity shredders and bailers to entire materials recovery facilities (MRFs), waste and recycling companies require heavy investment in infrastructure. Asset finance ensures that expensive machinery is affordable through structured repayments, making it easier to match costs with the income generated from processing contracts.
To remain competitive, operators must constantly upgrade to the latest recycling and waste processing technologies. This includes optical sorters, robotics, AI-driven monitoring systems, and energy-efficient machinery. With leasing and hire purchase, companies can access cutting-edge technology without large upfront expenditure, keeping them at the forefront of the industry.
Insight: Gable Asset Finance works with waste operators ranging from small recycling firms to large national contractors. Regardless of size, every business faces the same challenge — the need to invest in expensive machinery and facilities while protecting day-to-day cash flow. Our funding solutions directly address this challenge.
Tailored loans that provide direct funding for purchasing specific waste management equipment such as shredders, compactors, bailers, and conveyor systems. This straightforward structure allows businesses to spread the cost over time while taking immediate ownership of the equipment.
Under a hire purchase agreement, a company pays fixed monthly instalments for the equipment, with ownership transferring at the end of the contract. HP is particularly suited to recycling businesses that want to build equity in their machinery while benefiting from predictable repayment schedules.
Operating leases provide flexibility by allowing businesses to use assets for a set period before returning or upgrading them, ideal for keeping pace with rapidly evolving technology. Finance leases provide long-term use of assets with the option to take ownership at the end. Leasing helps companies avoid large upfront costs while accessing the machinery they need immediately.
Companies with existing assets — such as trucks, sorting machinery, or plant equipment — can refinance them to release working capital. This frees up funds for reinvestment into new projects, expansion, or meeting short-term cash flow needs. Gable Asset Finance works with lenders who understand asset valuations in the recycling industry.
Large-scale recycling plants and infrastructure projects require complex funding arrangements. Development finance provides the capital for ground-up builds and significant expansion projects, often involving multi-million-pound facilities. We structure finance to suit construction timelines, staged payments, and the long-term revenue potential of these facilities.
Alongside traditional finance, waste businesses can access government grant schemes and support from the UK Infrastructure Bank for environmentally focused projects. Gable Asset Finance helps clients align commercial finance with grant funding to maximise affordability and ensure compliance with sustainability goals.
Whether you need a single piece of equipment or finance for an entire recycling plant, Gable Asset Finance provides tailored solutions.
