What plant finance can cover
Plant finance may be reviewed for excavators, dumpers, loaders, access platforms, cranes, compactors and other construction machinery.
Lenders may consider the asset, supplier, age, value, deposit, business trading history, contracts and whether the machinery is core to the work.
Documents that help
Useful documents include supplier quotes, asset details, accounts, bank statements, management figures and evidence of contracts or workload where relevant.
Specialist or older plant may need more detail around valuation and condition.
Cash-flow considerations
If the asset reduces hire costs or supports a new contract, explain that clearly. Lenders may still review wider affordability and existing commitments.
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.
