What Are Business Loans & Asset Finance?

A business loan is a commercial loan where the funding is paid directly to you to use for any purpose. You can invest the loan into any area of your company; you can upgrade production lines, purchase new machine tools, or packing equipment, for example. Business loans enable you to invest in your company without making large upfront payments.

Asset finance can be used to purchase a wide range of engineering or manufacturing assets. Hire purchase agreements allow your company to purchase the asset once you’ve completed repayments. Hire purchase agreements to allow your company to purchase assets or equipment without having to use up valuable working capital. Utilising finance enables you to spread the cost of the purchase. At Millbrook, if you wish to purchase the asset you can for a fee that’s agreed at the beginning of your contract.

Asset Finance

If you miss a payment, the lender may take possession of the asset you’re financing.
The minimum term will be around a year.
Some damage will be covered in maintenance and servicing, however, if not, you may incur costs or have to obtain insurance.

What Are The Fees & Interest Rates?

Interest rates on unsecured business loans can be as low as 3.2%. Secured loans can include even lower interest rates because the lender has security in the form of an asset or property. We ensure your contract is honest and transparent to ensure you understand all lender fees before you enter an agreement.
