What is IT & Technology Finance?
Who We Help
Your IT Finance Options
Hardware & Equipment Finance
Fund servers, workstations, machinery and connected devices — spreading costs over the asset's useful life. Payments align with production cycles, preserving working capital while enabling timely upgrades.
Learn more →Software Funding
Finance licences, subscriptions and prepaid arrangements that fit your budgeting rhythm. Annual licences paid quarterly stabilise refresh cycles without large upfront sums.
Learn more →Infrastructure Finance
Fund networking, data centres and cloud-ready setups — often staged against milestones. Capacity-based drawdowns mean you pay as your infrastructure proves itself.
Learn more →Hybrid Technology Packages
Bundle hardware, software and services into a single package to simplify procurement. Ongoing support keeps migration and upgrades predictable with one monthly payment.

Your Finance Agreement — What You Need to Know
Our Role as a Credit Broker
Forward Asset Finance is a credit broker, not a lender. We work with a panel of finance providers and may receive a commission if you enter into a finance agreement. This commission will impact the amount you pay under your agreement. We do not charge a fee for our brokering services.
Mileage Allowance & Excess Mileage
Vehicle finance packages include a mileage allowance chosen at the start of your agreement. If you exceed your agreed mileage, excess mileage charges will apply. These costs will be clearly displayed to you at the point of quotation.
Fair Wear & Tear Guidelines
If your vehicle is returned to the funder at the end of the agreement, its condition will be assessed against the BVRLA's Fair Wear & Tear guidelines. Charges may apply if the vehicle falls outside these standards.
