Stage payment finance in the UK offers a strategic financial setup where payments are distributed across different stages of constructing bespoke assets, such as horseboxes. This arrangement is particularly advantageous in equestrian industries where these assets are custom-built over an extended period. By aligning payments with each key phase of the horsebox’s construction, this financing method enhances financial security and aids in better cash flow management for both the purchaser and the manufacturer.
At Hall Asset Finance, we broker stage payment finance to facilitate smooth transactional flows between our clients and their suppliers, ensuring that funds are released at critical points, which supports both project continuity and financial stability.
The typical stages involved in stage payment finance can vary depending on the project but generally include:
A percentage of the total cost paid upfront to initiate the project. This deposit secures the project’s commencement and aligns the financial commitment of all parties.
Several payments are made at agreed-upon milestones, which may include the completion of design, assembly or significant phases. These payments ensure ongoing liquidity and motivate timely progress.
A payment made once the project is nearing completion but before it is delivered. This often acts as a confirmation of satisfaction with the progress and secures the final stages of completion.
The last instalment paid upon completion and delivery, finalizing the transaction and often coinciding with the transfer of ownership. This ensures all parties uphold their end of the contractual agreement.
At Hall Asset Finance, we offer a variety of financing arrangements to complement stage payment financing:
Allows clients to make payments in stages under the agreement that ownership transfers after the final payment. This arrangement suits clients looking for eventual ownership with manageable payments.
Provides flexibility to make stage payments during the lease period, with options to return, purchase or extend the lease. This flexibility is ideal for clients to adjust their asset base to changing business conditions.
Offers staged disbursements that align with the progress of the asset's construction, ensuring that financing is available when needed. This synchronisation helps maintain the project's financial health.
This can be used to release funds from existing assets to finance ongoing projects, with repayments structured in stages. This approach can reinvigorate a company's cash flow without external borrowing.
Horsebox stage payment finance offers several benefits for businesses:
Aligns outlays with project milestones, easing cash flow management. This alignment helps businesses maintain operational stability while investing in growth.
Allows businesses to plan and budget more accurately, with payments corresponding to project progress. This clarity helps in forecasting financial needs and adjusting plans accordingly.
Payments are contingent upon satisfactory completion of each project stage, reducing financial risk. This contingency protects the business's investments and ensures quality control.
