Why businesses use asset finance

Invest without a large cash draw

Use a manageable payment plan for essential equipment while keeping funds available for staffing, compliance, and the practice’s day-to-day needs.

Fund expansion or replacement

Compare options for a new surgery, practice acquisition, refurbishment, or replacement of an ageing asset.

Work with specialist advisers

We can help separate equipment finance from property, goodwill, or broader practice acquisition funding where needed.

Finance structures

Choose the structure that fits your plans

The right option depends on whether ownership, monthly cost, flexibility, or regular replacement matters most to your business. We will explain the trade-offs before you apply.

Hire purchase

Ownership-focused finance

With hire purchase, the finance company buys the asset and you make fixed monthly payments over an agreed term. Once all payments are made, ownership passes to you, usually after a nominal option-to-purchase fee.

Finance lease

Use the asset without owning it

With a finance lease, the lender retains ownership while your business pays to use the asset over the agreed term. At the end, you can usually extend the lease or sell the asset on the lender’s behalf and retain a share of the proceeds.

Operating lease

Useful for regular upgrades

An operating lease is generally shorter than the asset’s useful life. You return or replace the asset at the end of the term, which can suit equipment that needs regular upgrades. Your accountant can advise on the accounting treatment for your business.
