FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What types of warehouse equipment can be financed?

Almost any warehouse or logistics equipment qualifies - pallet racking and shelving, forklift and reach truck fleets, conveyor and sortation systems, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), mezzanine floors, dock levellers, and goods-to-person robotic systems. Doulton Bridging Finance accesses lenders with appetite across all of these asset types.

How much does warehouse equipment finance cost?

As of October 2026, rates range from approximately 5.0% p.a. for prime-credit businesses at the major banks to 12.5% for specialist lenders dealing with complex credit profiles. Most established SMEs qualify in the 6.5–9.5% range. Contact us for a personalised illustration.

How long does it take to arrange warehouse equipment finance?

Specialist lenders can produce formal terms within 2–4 working days for straightforward cases. High-street banks take 5–10 days but typically offer lower rates for qualifying businesses. As a broker, DBF pre-packages your application to maximise first-time approval rates and minimise delays.

Asset finance for business purposes is not regulated by the FCA. Rates shown are indicative as at October 2026 and depend on credit profile, term, asset and deposit. We act as a credit broker, not a lender. Your asset may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
