Construction & Trades
Discover what's possible with the right finance solution

Construction and trades businesses often face significant upfront costs before they're paid, many businesses are currently dealing with:


  • Long payment terms and delayed payments

 

  • Paying for materials before receiving customer payments 


  • Rising material prices reducing profit margins 


  • Skilled labour shortages and increasing wage costs 


  • Higher fuel and energy costs 


  • Supply chain delays affecting project schedules 


  • Taking on larger contracts that require significant upfront investment 


  • Purchasing expensive plant, machinery and specialist equipment 


  • Seasonal fluctuations in workload 


The right finance solution can help reduce these pressures while giving your business the confidence to grow.

Bridging Project Costs and Customer Payments

Cover the gap between paying for labour, materials and subcontractors and receiving payment from your customers. Finance helps keep projects on track without straining cashflow.

Materials and Labour

Purchase timber, steel, aggregates, electrical items, plumbing supplies and fund labour costs before work begins. Ensure you have everything in place to deliver projects on time.

Plant, Machinery and Vehicles

Invest in excavators, diggers, telehandlers, generators, vans, and specialist construction equipment without making a significant upfront capital outlay.


Asset Finance can be more tax efficient than purchasing outright and helps spreads the cost of the asset.
