Business investment
Supporting business investment and growth
Companies and SMEs rely on vehicles, machinery and specialist equipment to support day-to-day operations and future growth. Asset finance allows businesses to access these assets while spreading the cost through structured repayments.
With finance options such as hire purchase, leasing and SBCI supported funding, businesses can invest in essential assets while maintaining working capital and supporting long term growth.

Asset finance options for companies
Companies and SMEs can access a range of asset finance solutions depending on the type of asset being financed and the needs of the business. Options may include hire purchase, leasing and SBCI-supported finance schemes.
Each option offers a different approach to ownership, repayments and flexibility, helping businesses choose the right solution for investment, growth and cash flow management.

Choose a finance option
Hire purchase allows companies and SMEs to spread the cost of an asset through fixed repayments over an agreed term. Once repayments are completed in line with the agreement, ownership transfers to the business.
Leasing allows companies and SMEs to use vehicles, machinery or equipment through structured monthly payments without immediate ownership. This helps businesses access the assets they need while preserving working capital.
SBCI supported finance schemes provide eligible Irish businesses with access to competitively priced funding backed by the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland, supporting investment and business growth.
