Funding by sector

Manufacturing & engineering finance

Manufacturing ties up capital in machinery, materials and long production cycles before an invoice is ever raised. We match manufacturers and engineering firms to asset, property and working-capital funding that keeps the line moving and the order book growing.

No credit check to see your options.

Common funding needs

New or replacement machinery and plant

Larger premises or a unit purchase

Raw materials for big or long-lead orders

Bridging long production-to-payment cycles

Worth knowing

Machinery is well-suited to hire purchase or lease — financed against the asset, often at keener rates than a general loan.

Long cycles between outlay and payment are where invoice finance and revolving credit earn their place.

Frequently asked questions

Should I lease or buy machinery on hire purchase?

Hire purchase if owning the machine at the end matters; a lease if you'd rather keep rentals lower and refresh equipment as technology moves on. We'll compare both for your case.

Can I fund both a machine and the premises to house it?

Yes — these are often structured as a multi-product solution: asset finance for the machine, a commercial mortgage or secured loan for the premises.
