TRANSPORT ASSET
FINANCE FOR BUSINESS GROWTH
Asset finance can be a useful way for a haulage company to acquire new vehicles or trailers for their fleet without having to use a large amount of capital to pay for them upfront. This can allow the company to get the vehicles on the road whilst paying back the cost of the vehicles in scheduled payments. Some example transport (haulage, logistics, commercial vehicle) assets may include:
​
Trucks, Trailers, Forklifts, Cranes, Telematics Systems, Shipping Containers, Mezzanine Flooring
