Asset finance terms
Manufacturers often carry large amounts of capital in machinery, raw materials, and work in progress. Cash flow can be strained by long payment terms from customers, upfront material costs, and the need to continuously invest in equipment. The right finance structure keeps production running smoothly.
Common Challenges in Manufacturing
Equipment investment
CNC machines, production lines, and specialist equipment can cost hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Raw material costs
Buying materials in bulk requires significant working capital, especially with volatile commodity prices.
Slow-paying customers
B2B invoices with 30 to 90 day payment terms tie up cash that could be reinvested.
International supply chains
Importing materials or components requires letters of credit and foreign exchange management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I finance a single piece of equipment?
Yes. Asset finance can fund individual machines from as little as a few thousand pounds up to millions. The equipment itself acts as security, which often means better rates than unsecured borrowing.
How quickly can I get invoice finance set up?
A new invoice finance facility typically takes 5 to 10 working days to set up. Once live, individual invoices can be funded within 24 hours of being raised.
What is trade finance?
Trade finance helps you pay overseas suppliers before you receive and sell the goods. The lender pays your supplier on your behalf, and you repay once the goods are sold or within an agreed term.
