Commercial Plant and Machinery Finance
Plant and machinery finance. For the kit that builds and powers UK sites.
Excavators for cable trenches, telehandlers on the install, generators before the connection goes live. If your business delivers groundworks, civils or electrical infrastructure, the plant is the business, and it should be funded like it.
Typical project size , £25,000 – £1,500,000
What usually gets in the way
- Buying plant outright drains the cash you need to mobilise on the next contract.
- Long-term hire on core kit costs more over the life of a contract than owning it.
- Mixed fleets of new and used machines get priced badly by lenders who only see a list of serial numbers.
Why businesses finance it
- Spread the cost of each machine across the years it earns on site.
- Keep working capital free for labour, materials and mobilisation.
- Hire purchase can let you claim capital allowances on qualifying plant, subject to your accountant's advice.
How GRID helps
Structured by people who read the load profile first.
We understand where the plant actually works: cable routes, substations, solar and charging installs.
We place new and used machinery with funders who know its residual value.
We can bundle plant, generators and site power into one facility rather than a stack of separate agreements.
Example projects
Real shapes, real structures.
Groundworks contractor
Tracked excavator and dumper for cable trenching on EV and solar installs.
Electrical contractor
Telehandler and towable generator supporting commercial switchroom upgrades.
Civils fleet refresh
