Tooling finance

We understand tooling finance

Our tooling finance supports your investment in tooling development and helps you secure the additional finance to bridge the gap between the initial investment in a new product and the returns you eventually make. We can lend as much as 100% of the finance you need which means you could win new business, safe in the knowledge you have the funds to take it on.

Subject to status and eligibility. Security may be required. Please refer to the Important information section.

Rolling tooling finance

We could give you access to funding, as and when you need it, to help you finance the next generation of tools and manufacturing techniques. That means you won't have to apply for funding every time a new design and tool is needed, or a custom-built component is required to fulfil a contract. This could help you make the most of every opportunity to build long-lasting relationships with your customers.

Repayments designed around you

When you’re investing so much upfront in the manufacturing process, a little help with repayments can make a big difference. That’s why we can base your repayments on your cashflow receipts - to benefit your working capital management and helping you to invest in future growth of your business.

Our industry specialists are here to help

Our specialist automotive team has extensive experience of working across the supply chain and really understand sector dynamics. So when you need to move fast to win a deal, they’ll know exactly what’s required.
