How does Hire Purchase work?

Hire Purchase is a smart way to acquire the equipment you require for your business because you get to choose, use, and repay the assets over an agreed period, typically over a five-to-seven-year period, or the useful life of the asset.


The regular instalments cover the capital cost of the asset and the interest. At the end of the term of the Hire Purchase agreement, once all repayments have been made, ownership of the asset is transferred to you.

How does Leasing work?

Leasing is a type of asset finance that allows you to use the equipment you need without having to buy it outright at the end of the agreement.


You pay us ‘rent’ for the full use of the asset over an agreed term, which can be tailored to your individual circumstances. Over this period, you will pay the full cost of the asset, including interest.


At the end of the primary lease term, you can either:


  • Enter into a secondary rental period
  • Choose to sell the asset and receive the majority of the sale price
  • Return it to us


Finance lease >

How do Business Loans work?

Business Loans are used to fund investment in your business when you need it and can be used for various purposes, including buying into or starting up a new business or practice, a renovation or simply to cover cash flow. In the Republic of Ireland, Business Loans are only available to Incorporated entities - Limited companies.
