Can I finance the installation costs as well as the cameras?

Yes. Specialist asset finance lenders will often allow a percentage of "soft costs" (such as cabling, software licenses, and labour) to be included in the total finance facility, alongside the hard assets.

What is the difference between Hire Purchase and a Finance Lease for CCTV?

With Hire Purchase, you own the equipment at the end of the term. With a Finance Lease, you rent the equipment for its useful life, which can be more tax-efficient and makes it easier to upgrade to newer technology later.

I am a security installer. Can I offer finance to my customers?

Absolutely. We work with security systems integrators to establish vendor finance programs, allowing you to quote a monthly price alongside your cash price, helping you win more tenders.

Can I finance mobile CCTV towers for construction sites?

Yes. Mobile CCTV towers, solar-powered surveillance units, and rapid deployment cameras are highly fundable assets, particularly for security firms servicing the construction and event sectors.

How long are the finance terms?

Terms typically range from 1 to 5 years, usually matched to the expected operational lifespan and warranty period of the technology.

How we fund security systems

Independent broker with an extensive panel of 150+ UK lenders. No upfront fees.

Preserve working capital

High-end CCTV networks and biometrics require significant capital. Asset finance allows you to acquire the technology immediately while spreading the cost over 1 to 5 years, keeping cash in the business.

Solutions for systems integrators

If you install security systems, offering a monthly payment option to your clients can help overcome budget objections and close larger contracts. We partner with integrators to provide seamless customer finance.

Keep technology current

Security technology dates quickly. Finance leases often allow you to upgrade to the latest cameras or analytics software at the end of the term, rather than being stuck with obsolete equipment.

Include installation costs

We work with specialist lenders who understand that the value of a security system isn't just the hardware. Soft costs like cabling, software, and installation can often be bundled into the finance agreement.

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.
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.
STEP 3
Lender assessment
The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.
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.
