OPTION 01
Hire Purchase
Spread the cost over the term and own the equipment or system outright at the end.
FINANCE
Do the work now. Spread the cost.
A full bunker renovation or a new drainage scheme is a real piece of capital expenditure, and budgets do not always stretch to it in one year. Finance is how a club gets the work done now and pays for it over time, rather than waiting season after season.
TALK TO US ABOUT FINANCETHE PRINCIPLE
Budget should not be the thing that stops you.
For most clubs, the question is rarely whether the work is needed. It is how to fit it into a fixed annual budget. A course can end up living with washed-out bunkers or a hole that floods every winter, not because anyone doubts the fix, but because the cost lands all in one place.
Finance moves that obstacle. The work is funded upfront and repaid over an agreed term, so the course gets sorted this season and the cost is spread across several. Think of it the way a club would think about any long-term investment in the course: paid for gradually, used and enjoyed from day one.
HOW IT WORKS
Straightforward, and handled for you.
The principle is simple. Rather than paying for the whole project in one lump, the cost is funded at the start and repaid in regular instalments over a term that suits the club. The work proceeds as normal. The only difference is how it is paid for.
We arrange this through our finance partner, so you are not left to chase lenders yourself. You tell us what you want done, and finance is part of the same conversation.
FINANCE OPTIONS
Four ways to fund the work.
The right route depends on the club's circumstances. Borrow up to 100% of the project cost over a term of one to eight years, with repayments set monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, annually or seasonally to match how the club's income arrives. Buckingham Leasing will talk it all through with you.
OPTION 02
Finance Lease
Spread the cost across the term, with options at the end of the lease rather than ownership from the start.
OPTION 03
Operating Lease
Use the asset over the term with lower payments, handing it back or renewing at the end rather than owning it.
OPTION 04
Business Loan
Borrow the capital for the project and repay it in instalments over an agreed term.
