Get in touch on Whatsapp now:

Access to smart, flexible funding is essential for businesses aiming to grow, invest, or stabilise their cash flow. Whether you’re acquiring new equipment, unlocking the value of existing assets, or waiting on unpaid invoices, commercial finance offers a range of strategic funding tools tailored to your needs.

At Wigmore Trading, we connect businesses across Africa with leading lenders and financial solutions. From asset finance and invoice finance to broader asset-based lending, we help you put your business assets to work—turning them into capital for growth.


What Is Commercial Finance?

Commercial finance refers to a variety of lending options designed specifically for businesses. These solutions allow companies to access capital without relying solely on traditional bank loans, using physical assets, invoices, or inventory as collateral.

Common commercial finance products include:

  • Asset Finance
  • Asset-Based Lending
  • Invoice Finance

Each solution is designed to improve cash flow, fund expansion, or support day-to-day operations.


1. Asset Finance: Funding for Essential Equipment

Asset finance enables businesses to acquire vehicles, machinery, or technology by spreading the cost over time—freeing up working capital and preserving cash reserves.

Common Structures:

  • Hire Purchase – Own the asset after fixed-term payments
  • Finance Lease – Use the asset over an agreed term without ownership
  • Operating Lease – Short-term rental with minimal maintenance obligations

Ideal For:

  • Logistics and transport companies
  • Manufacturers and construction firms
  • Agricultural and food processing businesses

Wigmore Trading supports the sourcing and financing of both new and used equipment, helping you get operational faster.


2. Asset-Based Lending: Unlock the Value of Your Balance Sheet

Asset-based lending (ABL) provides funding against the value of your existing assets—such as equipment, inventory, property, or receivables. This option is ideal for businesses that are rich in assets but need improved liquidity.

Key Features:

  • Borrow against assets you already own
  • Flexible borrowing limits tied to asset value
  • Scalable facility as business grows

Typical Assets Used:

  • Plant and machinery
  • Vehicles
  • Warehousing and commercial property
  • Stock/inventory

ABL is particularly useful for businesses in growth phases, acquisitions, or undergoing turnaround strategies.


3. Invoice Finance: Fast Access to Cash Tied Up in Receivables

Invoice finance gives you immediate access to cash from outstanding invoices—so you don’t have to wait 30, 60, or 90 days to get paid.

Types of Invoice Finance:

  • Invoice Discounting – Confidential facility, you maintain customer relationships
  • Invoice Factoring – The lender manages collections on your behalf

Benefits:

  • Instant working capital boost
  • Reduces reliance on loans or overdrafts
  • Scales in line with sales volume

Ideal for: Trading businesses, exporters, wholesalers, and service providers with B2B clients on credit terms.
