- Secured loan structure: Hampshire Trust takes a charge over the aircraft
- G-registration only - cannot finance N, EI or M-registered aircraft
- Useful for owner-operators with smaller jets where bank pricing is not available
- Decisions typically within 5–10 working days from full application
- Rates are at the higher end of the market - compare carefully before committing
