    Understanding Asset Finance

    Asset finance is one of the most versatile and widely used funding solutions for businesses in the UK. It enables companies to acquire the assets they need without committing a large upfront lump sum. Instead, the cost is spread over manageable instalments, preserving cash reserves and allowing the asset to generate revenue as it is being paid for.

    Businesses use asset finance for vehicles, machinery, technology, catering equipment, medical devices, IT infrastructure, furniture, construction equipment and more. Asset finance also includes refinance and sale & leaseback, which allow businesses to unlock capital from assets they already own.

    Benefits of Asset Finance

    • Cash Flow Protection: Spread the cost of essential assets over time.
    • Access to Better Equipment: Invest in higher-quality or more advanced assets than cash reserves might allow.
    • Budget Certainty: Fixed monthly payments that align with your income cycle.
    • Tax Efficiency: Depending on structure, payments may be deductible against taxable profits.
    • Flexible Options: Choose whether to own, lease, return or upgrade assets at the end of term.

    Popular Finance Options

    Hire Purchase (HP)

    Hire Purchase is a straightforward way for businesses to buy assets while spreading the cost. You pay monthly instalments over a set period, and once the final payment is made, ownership of the asset transfers to your business.

    • Suitable For: Businesses that want to own the asset long-term.
    • Key Benefit: Fixed monthly costs and eventual ownership of the asset.

    Finance Lease

    A finance lease allows your business to use the asset for an agreed period while paying monthly rentals. At the end of the lease, you typically have the option to extend, return, or purchase the asset for a nominal fee.

    • Suitable For: Companies that want use of equipment without immediate ownership.
    • Key Benefit: Lower upfront cost and flexibility at the end of the agreement.

    Operating Lease

    With an operating lease, your business pays for the use of an asset during the agreed term, but the asset never appears on your balance sheet as owned. At the end, you return the asset, upgrade, or take on a new lease.

    • Suitable For: Businesses wanting regular upgrades or that don’t need long-term ownership.
    • Key Benefit: Reduced financial risk and avoidance of depreciation costs.

    Business Loans

    Sometimes businesses need flexible funding beyond asset-specific finance. Business loans can be structured to provide working capital for expansion, payroll, stock or cash flow gaps. Loans can be secured or unsecured, depending on your business profile.

    • Suitable For: General business funding needs, not tied to specific assets.
    • Key Benefit: Provides flexible use of funds to cover multiple requirements.

    Experts in Unusual & Tricky Assets

    Where other brokers or banks may say no, Gable Asset Finance specialises in securing funding for assets considered “difficult” by traditional lenders. Whether you are purchasing used equipment, bespoke machinery, or niche vehicles, we have the expertise and lender relationships to make it possible.

    Our experience includes funding quirky, specialist and unique assets across a wide range of industries. If your asset doesn’t fit neatly into a standard finance category, talk to us — chances are we’ve funded something similar before.


    The Role of Financial Credibility

    One of the most important factors in securing finance is the financial credibility of the applicant. Lenders want to see that individuals or businesses have the means, track record, or realistic plan to meet their repayments. While start-ups may not have a long trading history, credibility can be established through:

    • Director experience and personal financial track record
    • Business plans, forecasts and market analysis
    • Deposits or security offered against the asset
    • Proof of contracts, orders or pipeline work

    At Gable Asset Finance, we help clients present their applications in the strongest possible light to improve the chance of approval and to secure the best terms available.


    Our Process

    1. Initial Consultation: We discuss your business, goals and the asset you wish to finance.
    2. Proposal Building: We gather key information and create a tailored finance proposal.
    3. Lender Match: We approach suitable lenders from our panel to secure competitive offers.
    4. Options & Guidance: We present finance options with clear comparisons of terms, costs and structures.
    5. Approval & Completion: Once you choose the best option, we manage documentation and liaise with the supplier until funds are released.
    6. Aftercare: We remain available to support future finance requirements and refinancing needs.

    Case Studies — Asset Finance in Action

    Case Study 1 — Start-Up Construction Company

    A newly formed construction firm required a digger, scaffolding and site vehicles to launch operations. With no trading history, traditional banks declined their application. Gable Asset Finance structured a package with a supportive specialist lender, using the director’s experience and personal credibility as part of the application. The company secured funding and successfully launched projects within weeks.

    Case Study 2 — Established Haulage Business

    An established logistics business needed to expand its fleet of HGVs but wanted to avoid tying up cash reserves. We arranged hire purchase agreements that spread costs over five years, enabling the company to own vehicles outright at the end of term while preserving working capital.

    Case Study 3 — Unusual Asset Finance

    A brewery wanted to acquire second-hand brewing equipment from Europe. Many lenders refused due to the asset’s age and overseas origin. Gable Asset Finance sourced a funder comfortable with the arrangement and structured a finance lease to secure the kit. The brewery was able to expand production without a large upfront cash outlay.
