Sorbus Finance helps established businesses across London and Greater London fund vehicles, machinery, technology, equipment and fit-outs. We are an independent UK broker based in Chesterfield, serving London remotely with options from a panel of 150+ lenders; we do not have a London office.
As an independent broker, we can consider hire purchase, finance lease, and business loan options from our extensive panel of 150+ UK lenders, including specialist providers. No upfront fees.
We arrange the full range of commercial finance, matched to the cashflow, asset type, and tax position of your business.
Tax information: Sorbus Finance is not a tax adviser.

Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change. Please seek advice from a qualified accountant or tax professional before making any financial or purchasing decisions.
From established manufacturers to growing SMEs, we understand the asset finance needs of London and Greater London businesses. We have lenders who specialise in each sector.
London firms can use asset finance for servers, workstations, communications equipment, office technology and specialist hardware. The right structure depends on the asset’s useful life, replacement cycle and the business’s cash-flow priorities.
Contractors working across London may need vans, access equipment, tools, plant and site facilities. Fit-out businesses can also fund workshop machinery and equipment needed to mobilise for larger projects.
Restaurants, hotels, gyms and retailers can finance commercial kitchens, refrigeration, laundry equipment, EPOS systems and premises fit-outs rather than paying the full cost upfront.
Dental, medical, veterinary and aesthetics practices may use asset finance for diagnostic systems, treatment equipment, chairs, imaging technology and practice fit-outs, subject to lender criteria.
Production companies, studios and agencies can fund cameras, lighting, audio systems, editing hardware and studio equipment. Specialist assets are assessed by lenders that understand their use and resale market.
Businesses around Park Royal, Heathrow, Enfield and other outer-London commercial centres can finance vans, HGVs, trailers, forklifts, warehouse equipment and specialist vehicles.
New or used, single asset or a full fleet. If it has a useful business life, we can usually find a lender for it.
We assess what the equipment needs to achieve, how long it will be used and how repayments fit the business’s cash flow before selecting a lender or product.
Our panel includes 150+ UK lenders with different appetites for vehicles, machinery, technology, fit-outs and specialist equipment.
London clients can complete the process by phone, video, email and digital documents. We are based in Chesterfield and do not claim a London branch or local office.
In almost all circumstances we do not charge a broker fee. Should a broker fee be chargeable you will be made aware clearly in advance and it will be agreed in writing before you proceed. Read our Initial Disclosure.

A conversation with a broker

Lender assessment
The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.

If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.
Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
