Machinery Finance provides UK companies with tailored funding to purchase, lease, or upgrade heavy-duty equipment. It supports capital investments in manufacturing, engineering, construction, and other machinery-intensive sectors, helping businesses remain competitive and expand operations without upfront expenditure.
UK-based limited companies with at least 6–12 months of trading history are typically eligible. Lenders assess creditworthiness, financial statements, and operational scale. Applicants must demonstrate the machinery’s relevance to core business activities.
Finance amounts usually start from £10,000 and can exceed £1 million, depending on the equipment value, supplier, and business financials. Structured repayments can be arranged for larger capital projects.
Approvals can take 3–7 business days, especially for high-value or custom-built machinery. Once finalised, suppliers are typically paid directly within a few days.
Funding can be used for new or used machinery such as CNC machines, presses, conveyor systems, and production equipment. Finance can also cover installation, transport, and related project costs.
Interest rates range from 4% to 12%, based on the machinery’s value and loan terms. Repayment periods usually span 1 to 7 years. Balloon payments or seasonal terms may be available to suit your cash flow.
