Structures & options
Types of Asset Finance
We'll match you to the right structure and funder. Here's how the main options work.
02
Finance Lease
Lower monthly payments than hire purchase — the lender owns the asset. Perfect for equipment you may want to upgrade or return at the end of the term.
03
Operating Lease
Off-balance-sheet financing with no ownership at the end. Well-suited to vehicles, IT equipment, and assets that depreciate quickly.

Asset Finance FAQs
Asset finance lets businesses spread the cost of essential equipment, machinery or vehicles over a fixed term rather than paying the full purchase price upfront. You use the asset from day one while making regular, predictable repayments. Depending on the structure — hire purchase, finance lease or operating lease — you may own the asset outright at the end of the term, or return and refinance it. GDFS sources asset finance from a broad panel of specialist lenders to find the most competitive terms for your business.
