The ambition

A scaffolding firm wanted to add a telehandler and site generator to its own plant fleet rather than continue paying daily hire rates.

How the finance was structured

Arranged a low-deposit Hire Purchase agreement bundling both assets under one facility, minimising paperwork and setup time.

What it made possible

Both assets were funded and delivered within 4 days, cutting the firm's monthly hire spend and adding owned assets to the balance sheet.

  1. STEP 1

    A conversation with a broker

    You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.

  2. STEP 2

    Credit placement

    If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.

  3. STEP 3

    Lender assessment

    The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.

  4. STEP 4

    Documentation

    If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.

Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
