Can I finance an industrial compressor and air system?

Potentially, though fixed pipework, installation and building work may be assessed differently from the compressor itself.

The practical answer

Potentially, though fixed pipework, installation and building work may be assessed differently from the compressor itself.

Itemise the compressor, dryer, receiver, controls, pipework and labour. State the premises ownership and whether the equipment can be removed without major building changes.

Check commissioning dates and supplier payment terms before ordering. Compare the whole operating cost, including maintenance and energy, and confirm which associated costs the lender is prepared to fund.

Important

Commercial finance is subject to status, lender approval and the specific asset and transaction. The right structure depends on the complete circumstances of the business.

What should I do next?

Have the asset details, supplier information and an outline of what the business needs ready. DCF can then discuss the requirement and identify which lenders may be suitable.
