CLF Finance
Asset Finance and Funding - Raise Working Capital
Asset financing, or funding, is typically used for raising working capital for the purchase of business assets old and new. This could be manufacturing plant and machinery or agricultural equipment and commercial vehicles, CLF have many years experience in asset funding and offer a range of asset finance options to help your business grow, these include hire purchase, leasing and refinancing.
Lease Purchase
Hire purchase and/or leasing are types of financial products used to purchase specific assets, for example vehicles, machinery and equipment. Businesses or individuals control the asset during an agreed term, while paying rent or instalments.
With leasing, the asset is not owned by the business or individual, although the asset can be sold to the business or individual at the end of the term. Hire purchase instalments will cover the capital cost so ownership is transferred once the last instalment is made.
