When machinery finance may fit
Machinery finance may be reviewed for CNC machines, production lines, packaging equipment, engineering machinery, fabrication equipment or specialist plant.
The lender may consider asset type, supplier, age, deposit, resale value, business trading history and how the equipment supports income.
Documents that help
Useful documents can include supplier quotes, asset details, accounts, management figures, bank statements and an explanation of how the machine improves capacity, margin or efficiency.
Used or specialist machinery may need more detail around valuation and resale market.
Cash flow and timing
If the equipment creates a ramp-up period before revenue improves, the repayment profile and wider working capital position should be considered early.
