We aim to work in specific sectors which includes (but are not limited to); construction, transport, agriculture, materials handling, industrial equipment and much more. Soft assets include equipment classes where the inherent value over time is shared between the equipment and the value in the usage. This includes Reprographics, office equipment, IT/computer equipment software, Telecommunications and much more. VENDORS BROKERS CUSTOMERS HOW WE DELIVER As an independent finance company, we aim to provide a fast, dynamic and most of all effective service to our clients without the cumbersome internal systems of many large financial organisations. We employ industry experts and combine their skills with the latest processes to make the customer journey efficient without being faceless. Agility is the key and for most sectors we provide an established and proven online scorecard which gives instant credit decisions. This processes thousands of deals per month and the infrastructure is in place to accommodate high volumes of smaller ticket deals. We also retain underwriting expertise which means that many deals which need a human touch are given due consideration by our experienced team. This ensures customers can discuss the credit decisioning and also ensures that we consider all variables which contribute to a transaction.
