What Is Asset Finance?

Asset finance lets you buy the equipment or vehicles your business needs, and pay for them over time. You keep your cash in the business where it belongs. The asset itself is typically used as security — no need to put up your home or property.

Asset finance is commonly used across transport, construction, agriculture, healthcare, and manufacturing industries, where reliable equipment plays a critical role in daily operations.

Industries We Serve Across New Zealand

Our experience across asset-intensive industries allows us to structure finance that reflects how businesses actually operate.

Industry-specific insight enables more flexible approvals and smarter finance outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does approval take?

Approval timeframes depend on the asset type, lender requirements, and the information provided.

In many cases, we can obtain indicative approvals within 24–48 hours once key details are received.

More complex transactions or specialised assets may take longer, particularly where additional financial information or structuring is required.

In most asset finance transactions, the asset being purchased is used as security for the loan.

This means you typically do not need to provide property as security.

Depending on the lender and structure, additional security or guarantees may be required, particularly for:

  • New businesses
  • Higher-risk transactions
  • Limited financial history

Interest rates vary depending on:

  • The type and age of the asset
  • The strength of your financial position
  • The loan structure and term
  • The lender selected

Because we work with multiple lenders, we aim to secure competitive rates and structures aligned to your business needs.

Asset finance is often more suited to equipment and vehicle purchases because:

  • The asset itself is used as security
  • It may require less upfront capital
  • Repayments can be structured to match cash flow

A standard business loan may be more appropriate for:

  • General working capital
  • Non-asset-related expenditure

We help determine the best option based on your specific requirements.

  • Business performance

This often results in better outcomes than approaching a single lender directly.
