Why businesses use asset finance

Add services confidently

Spread the cost of treatment and customer-facing equipment while keeping cash for staff, products, rent, and marketing.

Finance for different stages

We can discuss a new salon, a refurbishment, a second site, or a single machine investment.

Understand the structure

We explain ownership and lease options in plain English so the monthly commitment matches your plans for the equipment.

Finance structures

Choose the structure that fits your plans

The right option depends on whether ownership, monthly cost, flexibility, or regular replacement matters most to your business. We will explain the trade-offs before you apply.

Hire purchase

Ownership-focused finance

With hire purchase, the finance company buys the asset and you make fixed monthly payments over an agreed term. Once all payments are made, ownership passes to you, usually after a nominal option-to-purchase fee.

Finance lease

Use the asset without owning it

With a finance lease, the lender retains ownership while your business pays to use the asset over the agreed term. At the end, you can usually extend the lease or sell the asset on the lender’s behalf and retain a share of the proceeds.

Operating lease

Useful for regular upgrades

An operating lease is generally shorter than the asset’s useful life. You return or replace the asset at the end of the term, which can suit equipment that needs regular upgrades. Your accountant can advise on the accounting treatment for your business.

How it works

A straightforward route to an informed decision

02

We compare suitable lenders

We use the information to approach lenders whose criteria and asset appetite fit the application, rather than sending it everywhere.

Profile
  1. STEP 1

    A conversation with a broker

    You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.

  2. STEP 2

    Credit placement

    If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.

  3. STEP 3

    Lender assessment

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

  4. STEP 4

    Documentation

    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.
