How Can First Capital Finance Assist You?

At First Capital Finance, we understand the challenges of planning and executing school investment projects, especially under tight budgets and timelines. We have access to one of the largest funding panels in the UK so, as both a broker and a lender, we will work closely with you to understand your specific financing needs and offer tailored solutions.

Can Local Authority Schools Benefit From Business Leasing?

Yes. Previously Local Authority schools and Acadamies needed approval for leases considered 'borrowing'. Now, with the introduction of IFRS 16 in 2024, they too can use both finance and operating leases more freely. By opting for asset finance, they are able to avoid the burden of full upfront costs. Using fixed-term leases on a wide range of assets and equipment allows them to spread these costs over time through manageable payments .

Next Steps
