Refinance agreement helps CNC machine specialist expand business

CASE STUDY
Apr 17, 2024

Find out how we worked with a Cornwall-based CNC machine specialist to release capital from their existing assets to invest back in the business.

Background


Restormel Machine specialises in the CNC machining of precision components for companies across a wide range of industries and sectors including automotive, medical and food production. The business is a long-standing customer of Close Brothers Asset Finance and we have worked with them on several agreements over the years.


Challenge


The business was looking for a cash injection to invest in improvements across their business to help them develop further. Recently they expanded their premises to include an additional 6,000 square feet of space. The business also wanted to purchase equipment to facilitate a more efficient direction of operating.


To raise the capital, Managing Director of Restormel Machine, Barry Kennett contacted Jonathan Weston, Regional Sales Manager with Close Brothers Asset Finance for a funding solution.


Solution

 

Jonathan suggested using a refinance product against Restormel’s existing machinery. By using a Sale & HP Back agreement, the business was able to use multiple CNC machines as collateral, helping them to secure the necessary funds. Jonathan's many years of experience ensured the tailored structuring of the agreement to suit the specific needs of the business.
