Sunderland FAQs
Common questions about asset finance in Sunderland
Will the asset finance company own the asset?+
On HP, technically yes until the final payment. On lease, yes throughout — you have use rights. We'll explain practical implications.
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.
Will my Sunderland business need to provide security?+
The asset itself is the primary security. Director PGs are common but not always required, particularly on stronger covenants.
Is VAT deferred?+
On HP, the full VAT is reclaimed upfront. On lease, VAT is paid per rental. Different cashflow profiles for the same kit.
Are there sector restrictions?+
Some — taxi-trade finance, late-night licensed premises, certain agriculture areas have specialist lenders. We'll route accordingly.
Can I refinance assets I already own?+
Yes — sale and HP back is a common liquidity tool for Sunderland businesses. We can quote against fleet, plant or equipment within days.
