Can I finance a complete control room fit-out in one agreement?

Yes. We can often package the hardware (screens, servers), furniture (consoles), and soft costs (installation, cabling) into a single, structured asset finance or business loan facility.

We are upgrading to meet NSI Gold standards. Can you help?

Absolutely. Meeting stringent industry standards often requires significant infrastructure upgrades, from physical attack resistance to redundant power supplies. We can arrange funding tailored to these compliance-driven projects.

What finance is best for IT servers and software?

A Finance Lease is typically best for IT infrastructure. Technology dates quickly, and a lease allows you to refresh the server hardware at the end of the term rather than being left with obsolete equipment.

Can I get a mortgage to buy an ARC facility?

Yes. We arrange commercial mortgages for security firms looking to purchase their own premises. We can also source development or refurbishment loans to modify a standard commercial building into a secure facility.

Control Room Finance

Fund advanced security control rooms and ARCs

Building a modern Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or on-site security control room requires heavy investment in IT infrastructure, video walls, and secure fit-outs. We arrange structured finance to cover the complete project without depleting your capital reserves.

Complete fit-out finance

A control room is more than just screens. We can arrange finance that covers the complete fit-out, including specialised operator consoles, ergonomic 24/7 seating, raised flooring, and bespoke lighting.

Fund high-performance IT

Processing thousands of video streams requires powerful, redundant server architecture. Asset finance allows you to deploy enterprise-grade IT and storage arrays, keeping your critical infrastructure resilient.

Video wall technology

Large-scale LED or LCD video walls are capital intensive. Spreading the cost over 3 to 5 years ensures you can build a state-of-the-art monitoring environment while managing cashflow.

Commercial property finance

If you are purchasing a new building to house your ARC, or need to heavily modify an existing structure to meet high-security standards (such as NSI Gold), we can arrange specialized commercial mortgages and development loans.

Profile

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.
