A No-Hassle Solution To Asset Finance

Finding your way through the finance minefield is a challenge most businesses face at some time. Whether it is to fuel business growth, to purchase new equipment or manage short-term cashflow problems, securing the most appropriate source of funding can be a headache.

For busy managers juggling a number of different responsibilities, it can be difficult to spend enough time researching the various funding options. However choosing the right financing is fundamental to the long-term success of a business. Rushing into a deal that doesn't match your business needs could be a costly decision.

One solution is to choose a specialist in asset finance to find and structure the best package for you. Chris MacManus is with the Asset Finance Division of MA Consulting International and has helped hundreds of businesses raise funds for a wide range of business assets and equipment.

As Chris explains, “All too often businesses only consider traditional finance such as bank loans and overdrafts when funding their business. However there are a number of alternative funding solutions that may be more suitable for the needs of a particular business.”

“For example, did you know that it is possible to finance cars on a variable interest rate facility that allows you to settle the agreement early without penalty? Most of us finance our vehicles on fixed interest rates, and end up paying large early settlement penalties if we no longer need the car or want to change it before the finance term runs out.”

Chris is able to offer specialist knowledge in the asset finance market and can source and secure tailor-made finance packages to assist businesses to acquire cars, vans, HGVs, buses and coaches, plant and machinery, office equipment, indeed virtually any moveable business asset – yes even boat and aircraft finance is available.

The service is completely independent and very flexible and funding can be sourced from a large number of mainstream and specialist finance houses. No more hassle of repeating requirements to a number of potential funders and then comparing the offers – all the groundwork is done for you so you can make a rational decision based on clear information.

“Our aim is to understand your business and find a solution to provide exactly what you want.” explains Chris. “Our expertise in deal structuring can save you significant sums of money in interest payments and offers huge cashflow benefits to any business.”
