Equipment Vendor & Dealer Proposition

Commercial Sales Infrastructure

Turn finance into part
of your sales process.

Help your customers fund equipment purchases with structured asset finance. Your quote sits at the centre of the application—unlocking sales without managing lender relationships.

The Commercial Friction

Why Equipment Deals Stall

Your customer genuinely wants and needs the machinery. However, deploying £50,000 to £500,000+ from their working capital would jeopardise their project cash flow. When they approach their traditional clearing bank, underwriting can take 6–8 weeks with rigid security requirements—putting the purchase on hold.

• Lengthy bank approval cycles stall customer orders

• Suppliers lack time to manage dozens of separate lender portals

• Single-broker dependencies lead to single-point declines

The TAFM Solution

A Structured 5-Step Resolution

01

Supplier Quote: You issue your standard commercial quotation specifying equipment and price.

02

Structured Application: The customer applies via TAFM with your quote integrated into the deal data.

03

Provider Matching: TAFM routes the application to specialist lenders with verified appetite for that asset.

04

Finance Assessment: Matched underwriters assess the application rapidly on an asset-backed basis.

05

Supplier Paid: Once terms are signed, the lender pays you directly, and you release the equipment.

Commercial Advantages

Why Equipment Suppliers Partner with TAFM

Engineered specifically for plant, machinery, vehicle, and technical equipment vendors:

Finance Embedded in Your Sales Cycle

When equipment buyers face upfront capital constraints or bank lending delays, deals stall. TAFM gives your sales team an immediate, structured financing path built directly around your commercial quotation.

Structured Customer & Quote Data

Your quotation specification is captured cleanly as structured digital deal data. Lenders receive standardized, complete dossiers, eliminating the back-and-forth queries that delay approvals.

Access to Multiple Specialist Lenders

Different lenders have different risk appetites. A high-street bank might decline a 7-year-old used excavator, while a specialist asset lender readily funds it. TAFM routes your customer to the lenders who actually want the asset.

No Lender Relationships to Manage

You do not need to negotiate lender agency agreements, maintain accreditation portals, or hire internal finance specialists. TAFM manages the network integration while you focus on equipment sales.

You Remain the Supplier of Record

TAFM operates strictly as marketplace infrastructure. Your customer relationship, pricing, and warranty terms remain entirely yours. Upon transaction completion, the finance provider settles directly with you.

Suitable for New & Used Equipment

Our lender network underwrites brand-new factory builds, approved dealer stock, and quality pre-owned commercial assets up to 10–12 years of age.
