Asset Finance in Glasgow: 5 Reasons White Oak UK Leads the Way
With a reputation for being a centre of excellence for asset finance, White Oak UK’s Glasgow office is committed to empowering SMEs, as well as being a one-stop shop for an entire portfolio of business lending products. Moving much faster than traditional banks and offering approval within hours, our asset finance products are designed with progress in mind. Expand your operations with enhanced fleet vehicles or accelerate your operations with the latest technology. Whatever it is you need to invest in, White Oak UK can assist. Below, we’ve highlighted the five key reasons behind our ‘centre of excellence’ status for asset finance.
- We have a range of flexible business finance products
Asset finance is just one of the products we can offer. Our other business funding options include VAT loans, which allow you to spread the cost of any VAT bills, business development loans for SMEs with a specific growth plan in mind and invoice finance, which offers an alternative route to unlocking cash tied up in unpaid invoices. We can work with you every step of the way to ascertain what works best for your business and devise a manageable payment plan to ease the pressure.
- We deliver decisions (and funds) within hours
There’s no waiting around here. You can even check your eligibility online in a matter of minutes without affecting your credit score. From proposal to payout, we’ve delivered super-fast funding in as little as three hours. Explore some of our real customer stories here.
- Our asset finance roots go way, way back
We’ve been providing business finance for almost 40 years. Our success story started in 1989, when LDF Group (Lease Direct Finance), headquartered in Wales, launched as a specialist finance operation. LDF grew to become one of the UK’s largest non-bank providers of finance for SMEs and mid-level corporates. Following a major acquisition in 2018, LDF rebranded to White Oak UK, and the rest, as they say, is history.
- We can act as a lender and a broker
We have the unique advantage of being able to both lend with our own capital as well as act as a broker where your SME has a large requirement. For example, if you require financing for a fleet of 100 vehicles, we could finance 50 vehicles ourselves and also approach our panel of lenders to finance the remaining 50 vehicles. This is a tremendous strength for us as a business and allows us to provide a larger menu of options for our clients.
- Our website is designed to empower and inform our customers
Our current website is the result of accumulated knowledge, extensive testing and customer feedback. With user-friendliness and complete clarity underpinning both the design and the contents, we strive to give our clients the information they need without the complex jargon. We also added an eligibility checker feature, which allows businesses to assess their options in an obligation-free way with no hard credit check.
