Fund diagnostic, surgical, and clinical equipment for a veterinary practice or animal hospital without taking the entire purchase cost from cash reserves. Sorbus Finance compares finance structures for new and established veterinary businesses. The comparison can cover a single replacement or a wider practice equipment programme.
* Subject to credit.
We can discuss imaging, ultrasound, anaesthetic systems, operating tables, dental equipment, laboratory equipment, kennels, and other tangible veterinary assets.
Keep funds available for staffing, medication, premises, and patient care while investing in the equipment your team needs.
Finance can be considered for a new consultation room, refurbishment, hospital expansion, or replacement programme.
We explain the options around ownership, term, and equipment renewal before you choose a funding route.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Share the supplier quote, asset details, price, deposit preference, and how the veterinary equipment will support your business.
We use the information to approach lenders whose criteria and asset appetite fit the application, rather than sending it everywhere.
We explain the available structure, costs, and conditions so you can decide whether the finance works for your business.
