Compass Business Finance is an independent supplier of asset funding and commercial finance based in Tonbridge, Kent. The company arranges equipment funding, machinery leasing, and refinancing packages for businesses across the United Kingdom. While serving a range of commercial industries, it concentrates heavily on the print, packaging, engineering, and industrial manufacturing sectors.
The company’s finance portfolio includes hire purchase agreements, finance leases, operating leases, and unsecured business loans. These options allow print and display businesses to acquire new technology, such as digital presses, wide-format inkjet systems, CNC routers, cutting tables, and automated finishing lines, without draining cash reserves. Compass also provides capital release and sale-and-leaseback options, enabling companies to unlock equity tied up in owned machinery to support daily working capital or fund new growth projects.
As an accredited delivery partner for the British Business Bank, Compass helps UK firms access government-backed lending schemes, including the Growth Guarantee Scheme. The team works directly with machinery distributors, software vendors, and key trade organisations including FESPA UK and the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF) to arrange point-of-sale finance options for print businesses investing in new equipment.
These finance solutions support various corporate needs, from routine equipment replacements and software installations to management buyouts and facility expansions. Payment schedules can be customised to match seasonal cash flow, depreciation rates, or specific contract terms. Operating nationally, the firm’s regional managers assist sign makers, commercial printers, and manufacturers throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland
