SALE & LEASEBACK:

Release capital from existing owned assets for use in your business or fund new recently purchased assets.

Sale & Leaseback: Raise capital by "selling" assets to one of our funders and leasing them back. This can be for a variety of reasons:

Do you have an unexpectedly large corporation tax bill ? Do you wish to renovate your business premises or yard without using cash or overdraft ?

Do you have a requirement for an odd purchase , such as a small piece of land or to purchase a machine from abroad which must be paid before shipment ?

Example: A customer was offered a piece of commercial land at a discount price, but only if the sale could go through before the end of the following month.

The customers bank could not guarantee the sale would be completed in time.

Caledonian arranged a sale and leaseback on owned assets and our customer had the funds within 21 days from start to finish.

SALE & HP BACK:

Finance recently purchased assets (within the last 90 days) and release the capital tied up in the asset back to your business.

Do you need to purchase an asset urgently due to winning a new contract or an existing asset breaking down ?

Are you considering buying an asset from another user , rather than from a recognised franchise supplier?

Would you like to bundle a few assets together that are due to arrive over a 3 month period and document as one deal?

Simply pay for these assets from your own resources and we will arrange to fund them on Hire Purchase and return 90% of the funds to you. The 10% is used as your deposit.

Example: A customer has purchased a small machine in Euros , but the amount is too small for a foreign currency transaction. The customer paid the supplier

directly and Caledonian arranged a sale and HP back for the customer, returning 90% of the purchase price to their bank account within 7 days of the machine arriving in the UK.
