It's like having 100+ banks and private lenders on Threadneedle Street

Yes. Sorbus Finance is an independent UK commercial finance broker serving businesses across London and Greater London remotely from Chesterfield. We can arrange hire purchase, finance lease and other suitable facilities for eligible vehicles, machinery, technology and business equipment. We do not have a London office.

Common assets include vans, HGVs, construction equipment, commercial kitchens, refrigeration, medical and dental equipment, manufacturing machinery, IT hardware, cameras and studio equipment. Eligibility depends on the asset, supplier, business profile, deposit and lender criteria.

Hire purchase is often considered when the business wants to own the asset at the end of the agreement. A finance lease can suit businesses that want to use an asset without purchasing it outright. Tax and accounting treatment varies, so businesses should take advice from their accountant.

Straightforward applications with a complete quote and financial information can sometimes receive a decision quickly, but timing varies by lender, asset value and complexity. High-value, unusual or imported assets normally require additional checks.

In almost all circumstances we do not charge a broker fee. If a broker fee may apply, we will explain it clearly in advance before you proceed. Our Initial Disclosure provides further information about fees and commission.
