Asset Finance from Lombard

Asset finance could make it easier to raise funds for additional finance needs, in contrast to traditional loans. Spreading costs of an asset helps maintain cash flow in your business. Asset financing differs from a standard loan in that an asset secures the finance agreement. Take into account your overall borrowing needs when considering finance options.
