Options from a panel of 150+ lenders, beyond the bank on George Square

Yes. We are a UK-wide commercial finance broker and we serve Scottish businesses on exactly the same basis as English ones. We have no Glasgow office; we are based in Chesterfield. We arrange hire purchase, finance lease, and business loans for businesses across all Glasgow postcodes (G) and wider Central Scotland, entirely remotely. There is no additional complexity or cost for Scottish businesses working with us.

Yes. The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) and Glasgow City Region Investment Zone support businesses in precision engineering, advanced manufacturing, and industrial technology, all sectors where asset finance is the standard route for acquiring equipment. We have dedicated manufacturing lenders on our panel who understand high-specification engineering assets and who can price deals more competitively than generalist lenders. Investment zone businesses may also benefit from enhanced capital allowances on qualifying assets when structured through hire purchase. Worth discussing with your accountant.

Yes. The lenders on our panel are UK-wide and lend to Scottish businesses on the same terms as English ones for the vast majority of asset types and deal sizes. A small number of specialist lenders have geographic restrictions, but these are exceptions and we would simply route your application to an alternative. For standard asset types such as vehicles, plant, machinery, and IT, there is no meaningful difference in lender access or rates.

Excavators, telehandlers, dumpers, cranes, scaffolding systems, HGVs, and other construction plant can all be financed through hire purchase or finance lease. We compare terms across specialist construction finance lenders, typically delivering better rates than a bank's standard commercial loan applied to plant assets. New and used plant are both within scope.

Sorbus Finance Limited is an appointed representative of Moorgate Finance Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (firm reference number 662419). We are a credit broker, not a lender, and use a selected lender panel rather than the whole market. We may receive commission or other remuneration from a lender. The amount and method can vary by lender and product, creating a potential conflict of interest. We disclose the nature and amount of our remuneration before submitting your application and ask for your informed consent before proceeding. If the proposed terms or remuneration change, we provide an updated disclosure.
