Refinancing
A cash injection that goes the extra mile
Asset refinancing is a funding solution that allows businesses to release capital tied up in equipment, machinery, vehicles and other existing assets. Rather than purchasing new assets, businesses can use the value of assets they already own to unlock working capital and support growth.
For SMEs, asset refinancing can provide a flexible way to improve working capital, fund expansion plans, invest in new opportunities or cover operational costs without relying on additional borrowing.
An asset refinancing solution can be particularly useful for businesses that have valuable assets on their balance sheet but require access to cash for short-term or long-term business objectives.
Whether you’re investing in new equipment, supporting growth plans or looking to strengthen cashflow, refinancing existing assets can help unlock funds already held within your business.
At Time Finance, we provide flexible asset refinancing solutions tailored to your business objectives, helping SMEs access funding while continuing to use the assets that support their day-to-day operations.

What is asset refinancing?
Basically, refinancing involves releasing capital from existing assets such as machinery, equipment or vehicles, as collateral. It sits under the wider umbrella term of asset finance, so named for the different types of asset that can be used to unlock funds on behalf of a business. Businesses looking to acquire new assets may also consider equipment leasing as part of a wider asset finance strategy.
Your client’s business can benefit from this type of financing if they are looking to increase their access to overall working capital, improve cash flow and make exciting strategic investments to support growth plans. Businesses may also use asset refinancing for existing machinery or equipment, sometimes referred to as equipment refinancing, to release capital tied up in assets they already own.
What kind of company assets can be used?
To unlock a workable amount of capital, your client’s business will usually have valuable assets that can be borrowed against.
These are usually classed as ‘hard’ or tangible assets – meaning they are physical things like equipment or machinery – which can be used by the team at Time Finance to release capital, to be used to fund growth.
Assets come in all shapes and sizes, but are most commonly things like:
- Commercial vehicles
- Machinery
- Equipment
Any of these can be used as part of an asset refinance agreement, which allows a business to borrow sums of money that are ‘secured’ against their asset’s value.
Similarly to other forms of asset finance, the more ‘valuable’ an asset is, the more capital you will be able to use against it.

The benefits of asset refinance
When it comes to funding strategic growth opportunities, refinancing offers businesses the ability to access working capital on items that are already being used within their day-to-day operations.
Rather than accruing debt through other mainstream funding solutions, refinancing existing assets frees up capital that’s readily available – rather than having to introduce new pieces of machinery, equipment and even vehicles.
A flexible financing option is important for your clients as an intermediary. There are several scenarios where asset refinancing can be used, including:
- Investing in new equipment or growth opportunities by releasing capital from existing assets
- Reducing interest rates and simplifying payments by consolidating debt
- Increase cash flow by unlocking value from non-generating assets
As such, Asset Refinance is a highly effective way for businesses to free up the cash tied up in their existing business assets – with a wide range of applications.
Turn existing assets into capital
With asset refinancing, you can help your clients get access to a lump sum of capital much more quickly and cost-efficiently when compared to other forms of funding. This is because businesses can still put this capital to work while enjoying uninterrupted use of their assets.
Invest in business with no limits
Unlike hire purchase or leasing agreements, unlocked capital can be used for a wide range of applications, from smoothing out cash flow to reinvestment in expansion, acquisitions or growth.
You’ll know that freedom of choice is invaluable for businesses, so give your clients the ability to use this cash injection in a way that best suits them – making refinancing one of the most versatile funding solutions around.
Unlocked potential
With refinancing, your client still retains all of the benefits that come with using the asset, without disruption to the business. Releasing this capital can help people make faster decisions when it comes to getting the most out of existing strategies or upcoming growth, ensuring their existing assets go the extra mile when it counts.
Budget with confidence
One of the main benefits of asset financing is the fact that any capital can be repaid in fixed, affordable chunks that make planning simple and straightforward.
At Time Finance, we provide structured repayment schemesthat help businesses get the most from their facility, keeping their plans for growth in mind when it counts.
Refinance single or multiple assets
Working capital can be increased to support expansion plans by refinancing multiple assets at ones. With a financial facility that can be scaled to suit your client’s plans exactly, refinancing can provide flexible, tailored support that makes a huge difference – by simply using the assets already available.
So, how does it work?
With asset refinancing, Time Finance will buy the equipment on behalf of a business – whether that’s vehicles, machines or other hard assets – for a certain price.
These are then ‘loaned’ back to the business for a set monthly payment, offering straightforward budgeting rather than having to foot the bill by dipping into existing savings.
Your client continues to reap the benefits of your assets’ production and efficiency while also producing extra income for your company’s requirements and future expansion plans.
