The practical answer
A large single asset may be considered, but its size relative to the business can make supporting evidence especially important.
Supply the full project budget, supplier quote, current financial information, cash forecast and expected utilisation. Explain installation, staffing, training and the effect of existing borrowing.
A specialist valuation or further checks may be required. Discuss the proposal before paying a material deposit, and keep contingency for project costs and ramp-up that the asset facility does not cover.
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.
