FINANCE OPTIONS

800k Hire Purchase Finance – Apply for Fast Approval

Hire purchase finance is a UK asset finance option where a lender funds the purchase of specific equipment or vehicles, and your business repays in instalments. The asset is typically available to use from the start, with ownership transferring at the end (usually after a final payment). For many SMEs, this structure helps protect working capital by turning a large purchase into predictable monthly outgoings. It also lets you plan around the asset’s useful life, using agreed repayments that cover both the asset cost and finance charges, with deposits depending on the deal and your profile.

Types of hire purchase finance for SMEs

Standard asset hire purchase

Designed for UK-registered SMEs with an acceptable credit profile and the ability to pass affordability checks. You will need clear documentation linking the lender to the asset purchase.

Standard asset hire purchase

With standard asset hire purchase, the lender typically assesses trading history (or owner experience), company accounts, and whether the asset is suitable and marketable as security. Deals for SMEs often range from around £25,000 to £1,000,000+. Typical terms are 24 to 60 months, with pricing quoted as an APR and/or effective rate depending on the lender. Decision times are often a few days to a couple of weeks for straightforward cases, while more complex scenarios can take longer.

Hire purchase with balloon (residual value)

Often used for mid-to-high value assets where lenders structure repayments around an expected residual value at the end of the term.

Hire purchase with balloon (residual value)

Balloon hire purchase can reduce monthly instalments by taking account of the asset’s expected value at the end of the agreement. Eligibility depends on affordability, creditworthiness, and confidence in the residual value. Typical terms are commonly 36 to 72 months, and amounts often range from £100,000 to £1,500,000+, with a common band around £300,000 to £800,000 for higher-value assets. Pricing varies widely, because the final effective cost reflects the balloon size, term, deposit (if any), and lender risk. Decisions are often around 1 to 3 weeks, longer if specialist residual review is needed.

Refinancing or reshaping via new hire purchase

Used when a business replaces or restructures existing arrangements, keeping repayments predictable and aligning them to a new asset purchase.

Refinancing or reshaping via new hire purchase

Instead of managing an existing liability, a business may bring forward a new hire purchase to refinance or reshape its finance. Lenders consider affordability, creditworthiness, and existing commitments including any security position. Amounts are often £50,000 to £1,000,000+ depending on the transaction. Terms are typically 24 to 60 months. Pricing for refinancing can be higher or lower than the original arrangement, and is confirmed during the quote stage. Decision timeframes are frequently 2 to 4 weeks due to extra underwriting, such as reviewing current agreements and settlement steps.

How Funding Agent helps you access it

Tell us the asset details

Share your asset quote or supplier proposal, the business purpose, the amount you want to finance (for example, around £800k), and your preferred term length. If you have a deposit preference or think you may need a balloon structure, include that early too.

We match you to lenders

We filter options based on typical hire purchase eligibility, including affordability, asset fit, and transaction structure. That way, you can concentrate on lenders most likely to consider your deal rather than submitting broadly.

Apply with a clean submission

We help you assemble the information lenders commonly request, such as accounts, bank statements, ID for relevant individuals, and asset and supplier evidence. This supports a consistent submission so underwriting can progress more efficiently.
