We are LGV and HGV finance experts that can negotiate the best deal for you

HGV finance or Asset finance as it is commonly known allows businesses and individuals to acquire and use assets, such HGVs, equipment, machinery, vans, or real estate, without paying the full cost upfront.

It is a common method for businesses to obtain the necessary assets for their operations without tying up a significant amount of capital. 

There are several different types of asset finance, and the structure of your loan will depend on the type of asset finance that you opt for.

However, you will typically pay a regular amount over pre-arranged period to use the asset, which can make the overall cost more manageable.

There are six primary forms of asset finance available for HGVs:

• Hire purchase

• Finance leasing

• Equipment leasing

• Operating leasing

• Contract hire

• Asset Refinancing

Each type of asset finance has its own advantages and considerations, and the choice of which one to use depends on the nature of the asset, the financial situation of the business, and its long-term goals.

At Clifton Private Finance, our team of experienced finance brokers can help you find the most suitable asset finance solution for your business.

HGV or Asset finance can be easy to access in comparison to long-term loans like mortgages. However, different types of asset finance have varying eligibility criteria and requirements.

Lease agreements and hire purchase agreements may be more accessible for businesses and individuals with lower credit scores compared to unsecured loans or lines of credit.

Generally, your credit history and financial health play a significant role in the ease of obtaining asset finance - but this can vary. 

Some types of asset finance, like hire purchase and asset-based lending, involve using the financed asset as collateral.

In such cases, the lender may be more willing to approve the finance because they have a tangible asset as security. This can make it easier to obtain financing (and potentially better rates). 

In many cases, applying for asset finance is straightfoward, and applications can be approved in less than 48 hours.

For more complex cases, acquiring asset finance may take longer due to any additional paperwork that may be necessary.

But if you need to meet a deadline, you may be able to have your application prioritised for an additional charge.
