About Bathgate Leasing

We are a ‘business to business’ asset finance provider and our aim, very simply, is to give our customers access to the funding they require to enable them to purchase the assets they need for their business.

Our history

Although Bathgate Leasing was established back in 1991, it’s only over the last few years that our service has developed to the extent that we can claim to be able to look at any deal - for any company, purchasing any asset.

In the early days we provided vendor finance (sales support) and only wrote deals on our Book (using our own money). Whilst this was successful for many years it did restrict our lending to certain sectors, over a particular rate range with a cap on deal size.

The last few years have seen us develop as a Lender and a Broker, which has removed the sector, rate and deal size restrictions and enabled Bathgate Leasing to become more of a Business Service to its customers, rather than being simply an asset finance company.

Who owns Bathgate Leasing?

We are, and always have been an independent, privately-owned business and, as such, we are not subject to the external influences or control that being part of a larger financial services group would bring.
