Finance FAQs
Financing allows your business to spread the cost of new equipment over a manageable term, protecting your cashflow and freeing up capital for other priorities. Rather than tying up large amounts of working capital, you can invest in the latest Atlas Copco technology today—while paying for it over time as the equipment generates value for your business.
Why should I consider financing new compressed air or nitrogen equipment instead of paying outright?
Asset finance offers predictable monthly payments, often with flexible structures such as hire purchase, lease, or operating lease agreements. It helps maintain liquidity, improves budgeting accuracy, and can offer potential tax advantages, depending on your accounting method. Most importantly, it enables you to upgrade to more efficient, energy-saving equipment without delaying investment due to upfront cost.
What are the main benefits of asset financing for new equipment?
Modern Atlas Copco compressors and nitrogen generators use advanced variable-speed and energy-recovery technologies that can significantly reduce running costs. When financed through a fixed monthly plan, those savings often exceed the finance payment itself—meaning the upgrade can be cash-positive from day one. Over time, lower energy use and reduced downtime improve your overall return on investment.
How does equipment financing help with energy savings and ROI?
Yes. Air Kraft can arrange finance for a full range of Atlas Copco products including compressors, dryers, filtration, nitrogen and oxygen generators, and installation packages. Whether you’re expanding production capacity, replacing ageing assets, or upgrading to energy-efficient models, we can tailor a finance option to suit your business requirements.
Is asset finance available for all types of compressed air and gas equipment?
Depending on the structure, finance payments can often be offset against taxable profits as an operating expense. Hire purchase agreements may also qualify for capital allowances. Air Kraft works with trusted finance partners who understand industrial equipment and can advise on the most efficient structure for your business. Always confirm the details with your accountant for your specific circumstances.
Are there tax or accounting advantages to financing equipment?
Most agreements run from 2 to 5 years, but terms can be adjusted to suit your cashflow and projected equipment life. Shorter terms reduce overall interest costs, while longer terms minimise monthly payments. Air Kraft can provide clear comparisons to help you choose what works best for your business plan.
By upgrading sooner rather than later, you can move to more efficient Atlas Copco systems that use less energy and produce lower CO��� emissions. Financing removes the need to delay sustainable investments due to capital constraints—helping your business meet environmental goals while benefiting from immediate operational savings.
