Do you accept trade-ins? 

If you finance new equipment through us, we’ll consider paying you cash for your old equipment (i.e. a trade-in).  

Alternatively, if your business’s cash flow is tight and you need some quick cash to relieve the situation, we’ll consider buying equipment you’ve bought recently. 

We’ll pay you a lump sum of cash — which you can inject into your business — and then rent the equipment back to you for manageable, weekly payments under a 12-month Rent–Try–Buy agreement.
