The practical answer
Durable identifiable equipment may be considered, but software, integration and building work often need separate assessment.
Split the quote into conveyors, robotics, controls, software licences, installation and training. Explain whether the system can be removed or resold and who is responsible for successful integration.
Funding may depend on completion and acceptance. Agree what happens if one component is delayed, and keep working capital available for costs that do not qualify under the asset facility.
Commercial finance is subject to status, lender approval and the specific asset and transaction. The right structure depends on the complete circumstances of the business.
What should I do next?
Have the asset details, supplier information and an outline of what the business needs ready. DCF can then discuss the requirement and identify which lenders may be suitable.
