What happens to my asset while I have a loan on it?

Safeguarding your valued assets throughout the loan term is vital to Bluecroft. While your assets serve as collateral for your loan, we employ a multi-layered security approach to ensure their safety throughout the loan term. Your assets will be stored in a highly secure, state-of-the-art storage vault. Once you have successfully repaid the capital and the final interest payment on your loan, we swiftly arrange for you to be reunited with your valued asset, in the exact condition in which you left it.

Is my asset insured while in your possession?

Bluecroft prioritise the complete security of your assets throughout the loan term. This includes safeguarding them against unforeseen circumstances through a robust insurance policy. Your asset will be insured for its full replacement value. In the unlikely event of loss or damage, this ensures you receive a payout sufficient to replace your asset entirely.

Should you have any further questions regarding the specifics of our insurance policy or desire a copy of the certificate of insurance, please don't hesitate to ask our team.

What is the minimum loan amount I can apply for?

The minimum loan amount we currently offer at Bluecroft is £20,000. This threshold allows us to effectively manage the loan process and provide competitive rates for our clients. If the value of your desired asset falls below our minimum loan threshold, we may be able to recommend alternative financing solutions. We encourage you to contact us at assetenquiries@bluecroft.com to discuss your specific requirements.

What is the maximum loan amount I can apply for?

Unlike traditional lenders, Bluecroft can assess the value of your loan on a case-by-case basis. The maximum loan you can qualify for depends on several factors, with the primary factor determining your loan amount is the resale value of your asset. We typically lend up to 75% of your assets resale value, but in certain circumstances will consider up to 90% LTV.

The best way to determine the maximum loan Bluecroft can offer you is to get in touch with one of our team by calling 0161 504 6988.

What are the loan terms?

At Bluecroft, we understand that a "one size fits all" approach doesn't apply to asset finance. That's why we offer a variety of loan terms to best suit your specific requirements and budget. We offer competitive terms and interest rates based on your unique situation. Any applicable fees, such as a one-time arrangement fee, will be clearly outlined in the loan agreement. We encourage you to ask questions and discuss your individual circumstances to achieve the best financing options. We're here to ensure you fully understand the loan terms before making a decision; call our team today on 0161 504 6988.

Can I prepay my loan without penalty?

We offer flexible prepayment options to provide you with control over your loan.

Prepayment Flexibility: You have the ability to prepay your loan in full or by making larger-than-minimum payments at any time during the term.
Early Settlement Fee: Some of our loan agreements may include an Early Settlement Fee to compensate for the interest we would have earned over the remaining loan term. However, this fee is typically capped at 6 months of interest.
Transparency in Loan Agreements: The specific terms regarding prepayment, including any Early Settlement Fee, will be clearly outlined in your loan agreement. We encourage you to review these details thoroughly before signing.

We recommend contacting our team to discuss your prepayment options and any Early Settlement Fee that might apply to your specific loan scenario.

Do you offer any flexible repayment options?

At Bluecroft, we pride ourselves on offering tailored loan solutions through communication; we encourage you to discuss your specific situation with one of our loan specialists. By understanding your individual needs, we can explore options that optimise your financing experience. Please get in touch at assetenquiries@bluecroft.com to discover how we can help you

What happens if I decide not to proceed with the loan?

We value your time and understand that business needs can evolve. If you decide not to proceed with the loan after submitting an application, there are no penalties involved. If you have already provided any collateral as part of the application process, we will work with you to arrange a swift and secure return. If you have any concerns or require clarification before making a decision, please don't hesitate to reach out to our loan specialists on 0161 504 6988.

What are the benefits of using a loan service versus selling my asset outright?

Bluecroft offer both loan and purchase options to help you unlock the finance you need. While selling your asset can generate immediate cash, an asset finance loan offers the distinct advantage of allowing you to retain ownership of the asset you love. Our loan specialists can work with you to understand your specific requirements and develop a financing solution that leverages the value of your asset while aligning with your goals.
