Assets that may be reviewed
Asset finance may be reviewed for excavators, telehandlers, vans, trucks, access equipment, tools, plant, trailers and other equipment used in construction work.
Lenders may look at the asset age, supplier, cost, deposit, VAT position, usage, resale value and the business trading position.
Evidence that helps
A clear supplier quote, asset specification, deposit position, accounts, bank statements, current work pipeline and existing finance commitments can help the enquiry.
Used or specialist assets may need more detail around condition, value and supplier credibility.
Working capital as well as equipment
If the business also needs materials, wages or VAT support, a business loan or invoice finance review may be needed as well as the asset finance.
How Jolt makes the next step easier
You do not need to know the perfect lender at the first step. Jolt looks at the funding purpose, timing, documents and likely route, then helps shape the enquiry around lender appetite.
Start with the amount, what the money is for and how quickly it is needed. If the route is not obvious, the enquiry can still be reviewed without turning this page into another form.
