The practical answer
Potentially, but these costs and their payment dates should be assessed separately from the equipment itself.
Itemise installation labour, engineer travel, testing, utilities connections and commissioning. Explain who is responsible for acceptance and whether the machine can operate before every part of the work is finished.
Some lenders may include eligible associated costs, while others fund only the equipment. Agree what evidence releases funds and budget for any costs payable before final acceptance.
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.
