A Southern-based steel erector company specialising in working at height required investment in 4 new cherry pickers to support ongoing and future projects. The business needed a structured funding solution that would support expansion while maintaining healthy cash flow.
Highlights
✅ £165,000+VAT funding secured
✅ 4 cherry pickers financed to support operational growth
✅ Structured with a 10% deposit
✅ VAT deferral included to ease upfront cash flow pressure
✅ Competing broker scenario, deal won against alternative proposal
✅ More cost-effective solution delivered over the full term
The Challenge
The client needed to acquire 4 cherry pickers to support increasing demand across ongoing and future projects. As a working-at-height specialist, maintaining access to reliable equipment was essential, but the business also needed to ensure the investment did not place unnecessary strain on cash flow.
With another broker also involved in the process, securing a competitive and well-structured solution was critical.
The Solution
We structured a £165,000+VAT funding package with a 10% deposit and VAT deferral, allowing the client to spread the cost more effectively while protecting short-term liquidity.
By focusing on the overall cost efficiency of the agreement rather than just the headline rate, we were able to present a more commercially attractive solution compared to the competing broker. This ensured the client received strong value over the full term of the facility, not just at the point of funding.
The Outcome
The funding was successfully secured, enabling the client to proceed with the acquisition of all 4 cherry pickers without disrupting cash flow.
The structure provided the flexibility needed to support ongoing operations while investing in essential equipment for future growth. By delivering a more cost-effective solution over the full term, we were able to win the deal and reinforce the value of a well-structured finance approach.
At Transition Finance, we focus on structuring funding that works harder for our clients, not just today, but over the whole term of the agreement.
