Can You Offer Other Types of Funding for The Construction Industry?

Yes. Asset finance is an excellent product for those looking to purchase new equipment for their business, but there are other strong options for those looking to raise capital. The main options are:-

• Business Loans – Business loans can be used to raise funds to assist cash flow, drive the business forward or refinance more expensive debt. Unsecured business loans can be arranged quickly and, with a number of new lenders entering the market in recent years, there is more choice available than ever before.
• Asset Refinance – Asset refinance can be used to raise capital by using your current assets as security for lending. As you’re offering security, lenders will generally offer better interest rates than unsecured loans.
• Invoice Finance – Invoice finance can be used to release funds from invoices on the day that they’re raised, without having to wait 30-90 days for them to be paid. This is a popular option for both releasing a cash lump sum, and as a long term cash flow management tool.
• Business Revolving Credit Facilities – These can be used to provide a cash buffer for your business should you need it. These facilities are designed to be used, repaid and used again as and when funds are needed.
