What is asset refinance?

Asset refinance is the financing of existing assets within a business. Typically we can provide 80% of the value of your assets and this can be used for any purpose.

Why should I consider this for my business?

Typically asset refinance is done as a fund raising exercise to raise additional finance for the business. However, some businesses also refinance existing asset finance agreements to reduce the monthly repayments.

What assets can you refinance?

When looking at asset refinance the quality of the assets are key. Lenders look at quality, durable assets with a good second hand market that are easy to identify. Assets that are suitable include vehicles, printing presses, earth moving plant, engineering equipment and any other asset that has a good value and could be sold on if necessary.

Features of asset refinance
  • Asset refinance can generate a cash injection into your business.
  • This can help with your short term cash requirements but it is important to remember it will also attract a monthly repayment that must be met.
  • If you are using asset refinance to reduce the monthly repayments on an existing finance agreement this will provide obvious cash flow benefits on a monthly basis.
  • The length of any finance agreement should not exceed the life of the asset. After all, you do not want to be making payments against equipment that is no longer generating income for your business.
  • The rates available for refinancing are typically higher than what you might pay on new equipment as the risk is considered to be higher. That said it can remain a cost effective cash flow solution.
