What providers assess
Machinery, equipment and commercial vehicles may be considered. Prepare asset records, purchase invoices, serial numbers, ownership evidence and details of existing agreements. A specialist valuation or inspection may be required.
Costs and commitments
Compare the cash actually released after settlement and fees with all new repayments. Check security, ownership during the agreement, insurance obligations and early repayment terms. Refinancing can extend the time over which costs are paid and puts the relevant assets at risk if commitments are not met.
