Asset Refinance

ACCESS CASH TIED UP IN YOUR EXISTING EQUIPMENT

Asset Refinance Agreements  

Asset Refinance, sometimes referred to as Sale and Lease back, or Sale and HP back, is an arrangement that allows your business to sell business assets and equipment to a lease company for a lump sum and then leases the asset back for an arranged monthly amount.

For businesses looking to grow sustainably and unlock the value of their existing assets, refinance agreements are a useful facility, enabling access to cash while retaining the use of their equipment and machinery.

If your business has a requirement for cash quickly, a hire refinance plan could be just what you need. However, it’s crucial to understand the advantages and drawbacks of a refinance plan before making the choice.

What is Asset Refinance purchase?

Asset Refinance, also known as Sale and Leaseback or Sale and HP back, is a financial strategy that allows your business to sell its assets and equipment to a leasing company in return for a significant lump sum of cash.

This agreement allows your business to immediately access capital that can be used for various purposes, such as investing in new projects, paying off existing debts, or improving cash flow. After the sale, your business then enters into a lease agreement with the leasing company, allowing you to continue using the sold assets and equipment by paying an agreed-upon monthly amount.

This monthly payment is typically structured to be manageable within your business’s budget, ensuring that you can maintain operations without disruption. This arrangement can be particularly beneficial for businesses looking to unlock the value of their assets while still retaining the ability to use them for ongoing operations.

How does refinance work?

The process is straightforward and designed to be as seamless as possible. Initially, an evaluation of your asset(s) is conducted to determine their current market value. Based on this assessment, you will be provided with an assessment report and value.

Following this, you will typically be offered a loan amount that corresponds to an agreed percentage of the asset’s valuation. This approach is particularly advantageous for those who have assets approaching the end of their finance term or are confronted with a balloon payment, as it provides a flexible financial solution tailored to your specific needs.

Benefits of asset refinance

  • It’s a quick and easy way to raise funds for business growth
  • Secure funding for Management Buy out/Buy in
  • Improve your finances with debt consolidation and restructuring solutions
  • Could offer a cheaper alternative to other funding avenues
  • Perfect for businesses of any scale
  • Secure deposits for new assets or software that might not fit traditional financing
  • Unlock the potential to lower your monthly expenses

 

Finding the right refinance agreement

Securing the right agreement is essential – it’s crucial to obtain the most favourable deal for your situation. The duration of the agreement is also significant. Consider the period over which you’d prefer to repay the new agreement.

Additionally, it’s important to select a reputable funder that is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). You can verify a business’s credibility by searching its name on the FCA Financial Services Register .
