Equipment Finance

At The First Group we specialise in all forms of business equipment finance, ensuring we achieve the right funding solution for you and your business.

Finance leasing

Finance leasing is a flexible, tax efficient way for your business to acquire the assets it needs without using up cash reserves. With finance leasing, the asset finance lender retains ownership of the assets purchased, but you can sell them on their behalf at the end of the term and keep most of the proceeds.

Hire purchase

Hire purchase enables you to secure ownership of the new asset after a rental period. The cost can be spread over its useful life and paid for out of revenue. Payment patterns can be tailored to suit individual needs, generally involving a deposit followed by a series of monthly or quarterly instalments.

Operating lease

An operating lease lets you benefit from an asset, whilst the asset finance lender takes the risk of it losing its value or becoming obsolete.

If you need a new piece of equipment or plant to fulfil a particular job or order, an operating lease could give you just the finance you need, improve your cashflow immediately and streamline your finances by matching rental payments to your income.
