Vendor finance is a division of asset finance specifically tailored to businesses that sell vehicles, machinery and equipment to other businesses.
Vendor finance provides a facility akin to short-term invoice finance. It enables the businesses’ customers to spread the cost of their purchase, ensuring the seller gets paid up-front in full, while also allowing their customer to benefit from spreading the cost of purchase.
Why choose vendor finance?
Vendor finance has a number of huge advantages for businesses that sell assets with a high up-front cost.
Vendor finance means you receive the full payment upon delivery or install, while also leaving your customers in a better cash flow position to continue their custom.
With vendor finance, you can:
- Support your customers to long-term stability
- Overcome buying objections
- Gain a selling advantage over your competitors
- Establish a uniform cash flow
- Increase overall sales
- Protect your margins
- Earn commission.
What can be financed with vendor finance?
Vendor finance is a flexible facility that can be accessed by a range of businesses in different sectors, but it’s particularly helpful for companies that sell assets with a high capital value, such as:
- Plant and manufacturing equipment
- Construction and engineering equipment
- IT equipment
- Healthcare assets
- Haulage machinery
- Scaffolding
- And more.
At Anglo Scottish, our extensive range of funding partners means we can deliver a range of lending terms that are tailored to meet your business and sector’s specific long-term needs.
Is vendor finance secured?
Thanks to our range of lenders, we can offer both secured and unsecured vendor finance. However, most arrangements tend to be secured – where the agreement’s security tends to be the asset itself.
This means that, during the course of your customer’s repayment plan, your chosen financer will retain an interest in the asset, in case anything goes wrong.
To formalise the security, we typically use legal documents such as a security deed, personal guarantee or a retention-of-title arrangement.
Is vendor finance suitable for small businesses?
Vendor finance is typically associated with larger firms, but smaller companies can also benefit from our vendor loans and leasing arrangements.
Typically, smaller businesses have less resource available to offer their own asset finance to their customers. Using a trustworthy external broker like Anglo Scottish can help increase the business’ financial resilience by reducing payment cycles and ensuring a timely injection of cash.
