Lincoln FAQs

Common questions about asset finance in Lincoln

How long is a typical term?+

2–5 years for vehicles, 3–7 years for heavy plant. Term should align with the asset's useful life and your cashflow.

HP vs lease — what's better?+

HP gives ownership at the end; lease keeps it off-balance-sheet historically and may be more tax-efficient. We'll recommend based on your accounting and intentions.

How quick is an asset finance decision?+

Same-day decisions are common for stocked vehicles and standard plant. Complex or large deals typically take 2–5 working days.

Can asset finance fund a fit-out?+

Yes — many lenders fund fit-out, partitioning, racking and similar capital items as part of an asset finance facility.

Do I need a deposit?+

Usually 10–20% on HP, often 0% on finance lease (with end-of-term obligations). Strong covenants can stretch leverage further.

Can asset finance be combined with a business loan?+

Yes — stacking asset finance against equipment with a separate unsecured loan for working capital is often the cheapest combined approach.
