Choosing the right type of equipment finance can be a critical factor in your business's success, particularly when acquiring necessary machinery or equipment. At Red Fox Finance, we understand that this can be a complex process, and that's why we are committed to helping you make an informed decision. This guide explores the various types of equipment finance that businesses can take advantage of.
Hire Purchase is an agreement where you essentially hire the equipment from a lender until you've paid off the purchase price. The lender owns the equipment during the repayment term, and once the final payment is made, ownership is transferred to you. Hire purchase is a good option if you want to own the equipment outright at the end of the finance term.
Leasing involves renting the equipment from a lender for a fixed term. During the lease term, you make regular payments to use the equipment but never own it. At the end of the lease, you typically have the option to return the equipment, extend the lease, or buy the equipment at its market value. Leasing can be an ideal option for businesses needing high-tech equipment that rapidly depreciates or frequently needs upgrading.
A secured loan is a loan agreement where the equipment is used as security. You take ownership of the asset at the time of purchase, and the mortgage is removed once the loan is fully repaid. This type of finance may offer tax benefits.
Asset Refinance allows businesses to release cash tied up in assets they already own. The lender buys the asset from you and then leases it back to you over an agreed term. This is an excellent option for businesses looking to improve cash flow or finance growth.
Although not directly a type of equipment finance, Invoice Factoring can help free up the capital necessary to finance equipment. By selling your outstanding invoices to a lender, you can quickly receive cash you might otherwise wait weeks or even months to collect.
Each of these finance types has its unique features, advantages, and suitability depending on the nature of the equipment, the specific needs of the business, and financial status. At Red Fox Finance, we work with you to understand your requirements, navigate these options, and negotiate a solution that best matches your business needs.
