Frequently Asked Questions
Can we refinance the equipment, machinery or commercial vehicles the business already owns?
Yes, ABF can help you unlock the capital in these items.
Even if the items you want to refinance may be relatively worthless, as long as we are happy with the security offered, your financial position and general credit worthiness you may still get an offer of funding.
What items will ABF fund the purchase for or re-finance?
The funds you receive can be used for anything to do with your business.
Most equipment, machinery and vehicles can be refinanced no matter what its age. In certain situations livestock may be used to ‘top up’ your security.
