How is asset-based financing different from a traditional bank loan?
Asset-based financing is provided as a medium-term loan for the acquisition of equipment. This differs from traditional bank loans that are generally revolving in nature and serve to augment working capital requirements.
Financing Physical Assets
What is the difference between a Lease and Hire Purchase?
Both a Lease and Hire Purchase arrangements allow you to spread the payments for an asset into the future instead of paying for it at the point of acquisition. This allows you to manage your cash flow and liquidity needs.
In the case of a Lease, the full value of the asset can be financed whereas under a Hire Purchase arrangement, there is a need for the Hirer to make a minimum downpayment of 10% of the asset value. In addition, under a Lease, the asset remains the property of the leasing company, unlike a Hire Purchase, where the asset belongs to the Hirer.
If you have further questions, please contact our Relationship Manager who will be able to advise on the most suitable financial solution based on your requirements.
Who owns the asset that is being financed under a Hire Purchase?
The leasing company would have a legal charge (lien) over the asset until the full payment for the asset is received. Thereafter, the asset belongs to the Hirer.
Can I make partial repayments for my Hire Purchase?
Partial repayments are subject to approval and a small administrative fee may apply.
Do I need to take up insurance for equipment under Hire Purchase?
Yes, insurance cover is mandatory for equipment under Hire Purchase. Our Relationship Manager will be able to advise you further on the insurance requirements.
Can I take up a Hire Purchase for equipment located out of Singapore?
Yes, it is possible to take up a Hire Purchase for equipment located out of Singapore. This will be subjected to a risk assessment and approval.
What companies or industries can make use of vendor financing?
Vendor financing allows equipment resellers and vendors to providing financing for their customers. Examples of industries that typically make use of vendor financing include resellers of office equipment such as copiers and IT products.
Converting Assets to Cash Flows
How do I know if my company qualifies for Receivables Financing?
Receivables Financing allows you to convert your expected receivables into additional liquidity. This form of financing is most applicable where your company has a constant stream of receivables from reputable clients.
Will my relationship with my client be affected if I take up Receivables Financing?
You will still continue to manage your relationship with your client even if you take up Receivables Financing.
