Specialised Asset Finance: for asset finance beyond the usual
Here’s 2 key reasons to use Spartan’s Asset Finance:
- Our expertise is in financing specialised assets. What does this mean? When you need specialised asset finance – that your bank or traditional funders don’t understand or avoid – we will back you. We finance machinery, specialised equipment, technology, software, office fit-out, etc. If you’re not sure if we will finance it just ask – chances are we could.
- Avoid using your working capital or overdraft. Rather use Spartan’s asset finance facility [credit line] which acts as a wallet of credit. This credit line has a 3 year availability period. It can be used for ‘bits & bobs’ or larger items. Working capital or overdraft is a scarce resource that should either serve as a buffer for tough times OR give you confidence for the future.
