Asset finance vs business loans

The difference between asset finance and a business loan, and how to tell which one suits what you need.

What is asset finance?

Asset finance is used to buy equipment, machinery or vehicles. The asset itself often acts as security for the loan.

  • Trucks
  • Construction equipment
  • Manufacturing machinery
  • Medical equipment

What is a business loan?

A business loan can be used for broader purposes, such as expanding, hiring staff or buying stock.

Choosing the right option

If the money is for a specific piece of equipment or a vehicle, asset finance is often the more direct option. If you need funds for broader expenses, a business loan may suit better.

Bizzy Finance can talk through what you need and help you compare the options available to you.
