Your finance questions, answered.

We make finance simple. Here’s what scaffolders ask the most.

What is asset finance and how does it work?

What is asset finance and how does it work?

Asset finance is a way for your business to acquire equipment, vehicles, or materials without paying the full cost upfront. You spread the cost over time, usually with monthly repayments. The lender owns the asset during the term, and you gain full ownership at the end (depending on the agreement type).

Can I get finance as a new business?

Can I get finance as a new business?

Yes, new scaffolding businesses can still access finance. Approval will depend on your deposit, credit history, and trading setup (e.g. sole trader vs limited company). We work with lenders who understand early-stage businesses and offer options even if you're just starting out.

What's the difference between leasing and hire purchase?

What's the difference between leasing and hire purchase?

With hire purchase, you own the asset at the end. With leasing, you rent it for a fixed period, at the end of the lease agreement you have the option to continue “renting” the assets, return the assets to the lender or purchase title of the assets. Both can help manage cash flow, but the right choice depends on your plans, tax setup, and how long you’ll use the equipment.

How long does it take to get finance approved?

How long does it take to get finance approved?

Once we’ve got all your documents, approval usually happens within 24 hours. For simpler deals (like vans or scaffolding materials under £50k), funding can be in place in 1 working day. Bigger or more complex deals might take a bit longer.

What do I need to apply for finance?

What do I need to apply for finance?

Usually, we’ll need:

  • Basic business details (company name, trading history)
  • Directors details (full name, date of birth and home address)
  • Asset/supplier info
  • Bank statements and year-end accounts

What is a finance quote, and how accurate is it?

What is a finance quote, and how accurate is it?

A quote shows you what repayments could look like based on your details. It’s not a guarantee. Final terms depend on underwriting, credit checks, and the asset. But we always aim to keep things realistic from the start.

Is a deposit always required?

Is a deposit always required?

Not always, but it helps. Some lenders offer zero deposit deals, especially if you’ve got good credit or a solid trading record. VAT-only deposits or deferred VAT deposits are also common. We’ll help you find a structure that fits your cash flow.

Will applying for finance affect my credit score?

Will applying for finance affect my credit score?

Not at the initial quote stage. We only run a soft search when quoting. A full credit check only happens once you’re ready to proceed with a lender. We’ll always let you know before anything is submitted.

What types of finance do you offer?

What types of finance do you offer?

We arrange:

  • Asset finance (scaffolding materials, trucks, vans, equipment and more!)
  • VAT loans
  • Corporation tax loans
  • Unsecured business loans
