Our funding solutions

Written by the company

Invoice Finance
Waiting to be paid is hard on any business. Invoice Finance lets businesses use their sales ledger as an asset which they can borrow against. It’s a simple way to release the cash that’s tied up in unpaid invoices. Instead of waiting weeks or even months to be paid, the cash can be accessed within 24 hours.
Asset Finance
We make it easy to get the equipment a business needs without the upfront costs through Hire Purchase, Lease or Refinance. And we’re fast. Finance is usually in place within 24 hours.
Bridging Finance
Where property is concerned, speed is everything. We’re able to have a decision in principle within 24 hours, and a fully credit backed offer within 72 hours.
Construction Finance
Construction businesses can often face cashflow challenges whilst waiting for customers to pay. New contracts are great for business, but they also bring with them new expenses, such as buying supplies upfront and paying additional wages, often leading companies to need to tap into their working capital before they receive their first payment. Construction Finance frees up the liquidity needed to complete existing contracts whilst looking to take on new ones so that growth ambitions aren’t slowed down.
Recruitment Finance
Recruitment Finance is a type of Working Capital Finance tailored to the needs of businesses within the Recruitment industry. It’s a complete finance and back office package in one simple to manage facility. We advance cash against temporary or permanent placements so that there is no need to wait for clients to pay invoices, as well as facilitate the processing, payroll and credit control demands by giving you access to RSM’s market-leading Recruitment Pay & Bill services.
Trade Finance
A simple way to bridge the financial gap between paying costs for the supplies a business needs and being paid by their customers with up to 120 days' trade credit available.
Structured Finance
Tailored funding through a combination of different assets: receivables, plant and machinery and / or property, with cashflow loans also available). We use our funding expertise to fully tailor a solution that is bespoke to a business to fully meet its requirements.

The Way to Conduct Business Dealings

Dealing with Steve Brook was great.
Having dealt with finance companies most of my working life, what I found most satisfying was the understanding that business dealings don't have to be done with 'stone faces' on - their ability to be professional while operating in a friendly down to earth fashion was so pleasing.
For people that don't deal often with asset financiers I would highly recommend Ultimate Asset.

Working relationships

Ultimate Finance are very efficient in a friendly way. They build a relationship that is personalised to your organisation. A select number of contacts ensures you never have to speak to a stranger.

Their culture and ethos sets them apart from other funding agencies and they are a pleasure to work with. Many thanks must go to my relationship manager, Jane, who really does go above and beyond, on a regular basis.
