In addition to arranging finance and leasing for the commercial sector, First Capital Finance have a great deal of experience in the education sector. The demands on cash flow and budgets are the same in the public sector as they are in the private and commercial sector. There is always a need to invest in new I.T. , equipment and vehicles and this has to be balanced against the available cash resources. Asset finance has become one of the leading methods of finance for such purchases. A simple hire purchase or lease facility enables the customer to acquire the necessary assets and maintain a healthy cash flow.

Schools and colleges up and down the country have used and continue to use our service to fund equipment and vehicles. The same basic principles are applied, ie. we are able to provide a competitive finance facility from our panel of over 30 top UK banks and finance houses to facilitate the purchase of necessary assets without the usual adverse effect on cash flow or budgets associated with paying cash.

It is also a surprisingly easy and flexible way to purchase equipment with the ability to match payment profiles to the customers’ cash flow, for example seasonal payments. What’s more, as a company we pride ourselves in our ability to take the hassle out of the purchase process. We require only limited information and can then handle the entire purchase and invoicing process on the customer’s behalf. The customer quite simply selects the equipment, places the order and then call us to do the rest. It really is that simple.

The list of assets that we are able to provide finance for is virtually endless. If you are in any doubt as to whether a pending or planned purchase would be suitable, please call our schools and colleges finance experts David Harrison or Jane Roberts and they will be happy to advise you.
