Services
Hire Purchase
Hire purchase agreements allow forestry businesses to acquire equipment with fixed or variable interest rates. VAT is paid upfront with ownership transferring upon final payment. This option provides tax benefits through writing down allowances and interest offset against profits.
Leasing
Leasing arrangements provide access to forestry machinery with monthly rentals subject to VAT. Benefits include minimal initial outlay and tax-deductible payments. At lease end, options include returning equipment, paying peppercorn rent, or selling with retained equity.
Refinance
Refinancing solutions unlock equity in existing machinery to improve cash flow or fund business growth. We help restructure finance agreements to reduce monthly payments while maintaining access to essential equipment.
Tax Loans
VAT loans spread quarterly tax payments over three months, while corporation tax loans cover annual HMRC bills over 12 months. These solutions help maintain cash flow for forestry businesses.
Machine Sales
We facilitate sales of pre-owned forestry machinery through Mascus listings and social media platforms. Our market knowledge ensures competitive pricing and financing options for equipment purchases.
