Asset and vendor finance

Do you buy or lease? Do you customers buy or lease from you? Weighing up the pro’s and con’s is invaluable when it comes to choosing whether to invest in an asset or set up a fixed term leasing agreement. Leasing keeps working capital within the business, negates the need for a substantial investment, reduces risk and improves margins.

Burton Sweet Asset Finance is a joint venture with Cabot Asset Finance.

Accounting and payroll software and IT Support

Understanding both the end product and all the stages taken to get there, we are very well placed to advice on procurement of accounting software and IT hardware. We are happy to support you in the implementation of both, and the training of internal teams looking after payroll.
