Asset Finance
Invest in the assets you need for your business, without affecting your cash flow.
Our Asset Finance solutions are provided by Lloyds Bank.
How can Asset Finance help your business?
To keep your business running smoothly and growing in line with your plans, you may need to purchase new vehicles, equipment or machinery. Instead of paying the full amount up front when you by or replace items, asset finance allows you to spread the cost over time.
Monthly payments can make it easier to manage the cost of large purchases without tying up your cash. You can even use asset finance to release funds from recent as well as future purchases.
Asset finance is available to new and existing Bank of Scotland customers.
Does your business qualify?
- The asset must be for use in your business
- Your turnover must be more than £100,000 per annum.
- You must have been trading for a minimum of 13 months
