FAQs

Asset Finance is for both limited and non-limited companies who want to invest in assets such as equipment, machinery or vehicles without having to pay for them up front.

You will pay a fixed interest rate which will be outlined in your agreement and is dependent on a variety of factors including the amount borrowed and the duration of the repayments. The monthly cost of these repayments will then remain the same.

We work fast. We’ll give you a decision within one working day of contacting us. It’s a smooth process as we only ever ask for essential information. Once your contract is in place, the asset can be financed within 24 hours.

Although you get exclusive use of the assets you’ve bought, they still remain the property of Ultimate Finance. If you have a hire purchase we will give you the option to buy the assets outright, at the end of your agreement, for a small fee. If you have a lease agreement you can continue to hire the equipment or we can arrange a sale.
Hire Purchase gives you the option to purchase the asset for a small fee at the end of the agreement.
With Hire Purchase, you generally pay a higher amount upfront. The remaining cost of the asset is split and repaid at a pre-agreed fixed-rate of interest per month until the end of the agreement.
At the end of the agreement, you will be given the option to purchase the asset outright for a small fee.

We purchase the asset on your behalf and essentially rent it to you.

You then pay us a series of instalments. With Lease Financing, you pay a lower amount upfront than you would for Hire Purchase. The remaining cost is split and repaid at a pre-agreed fixed-rate of interest per month until the end of the lease. At the end of the lease period you’ll have the option to keep it is subject to an annual rental.

Refinancing allows you to release cash that’s tied up in your existing assets and can help boost your cashflow. It can be provided on both Lease Financing and Hire Purchase agreements – even if you have money still left to pay.

Usually Refinancing is worked out as a percentage of the asset’s equity. If you own the asset without finance you’ll typically be able to get a higher percentage of the item’s overall value.
