- Maximising operational efficiency – your new system and equipment can be powering new machinery, earning you money and saving energy from day one without using critical working capital
- Renewing your compressed air system – at the end of your finance agreement you can upgrade your compressed air equipment ensuring that you always have the latest technology and systems to enable you to continue maximising your efficiencies
What Our Customers Say
Equipment Finance & Asset Leasing Explained
Equipment finance is typically provided by way of a Hire Purchase facility or Leasing agreement. This enables you and your business to invest in vital machinery or equipment with the cost of the investment made more affordable through monthly or quarterly payments appropriate to the asset type and needs of your business.
What is a Finance Lease?
Essentially, Finance Leasing (or Lease Finance) enables the business (the lessee) to acquire the assets needed to maintain or grow a business, without needing to purchase the asset outright. The assets remain the property of the finance company (the lessor) during the contract period.
What is a Hire Purchase?
Hire Purchase (or Lease Purchase) is a form of finance that can be used to purchase new or used equipment. Your business essentially hires the asset over the contract period and once the facility has been paid off, your business becomes the legal owner of the asset with title to the equipment.
Financing Your Investment in the Latest Equipment & Systems
Our finance solutions are available across the majority of our market leading, quality compressed air products and solutions including stationary compressors and systems, specialist air treatment products, Nitrogen generation solutions and MOBILAIR portable compressors. Finance and asset leasing enables your business to invest in the latest technology and most reliable, energy efficient, quality compressed air and nitrogen generation equipment available with only a small initial outlay. Your business can therefore start to benefit from the cost savings or additional profits this investment generates before your next lease payment is due.
Frequently Asked Questions
With regards to whether it is best to purchase or lease, your business may be able to afford to purchase new compressed air equipment outright, however, before you make this decision you may wish consider the following FAQ’s:
Leasing is probably the most popular method of financing new equipment today. Virtually all our innovative compressed air products and solutions can be leased through us, including the very latest, energy-saving systems available.
No. Your monthly payment is fixed at the start of the lease and so is unaffected by interest rate rises. This enables you to budget your cash flow more accurately. As inflation rises, because your payments are fixed, the cost of the equipment effectively reduces in real terms.
All payments are mainly made by Direct Debit on the same agreed date each month.
If you use all your cash, or any overdraft facilities, you leave your business in a vulnerable position to react to any unexpected needs of short-term borrowing. By leasing you do not need to find the whole invoice amount “up front”.
