UK businesses are continuing to face significant economic pressure. With a backdrop of recession risk, rising energy costs, inflation, and widespread industrial action, it’s understandable that many business owners are taking cautious steps into the year ahead.
But how do you continue to grow during periods of uncertainty? One of the most effective ways to keep your growth strategy on track is through smart, structured finance.
Despite outdated misconceptions, financing is not a sign of poor business planning. In fact, 82% of UK businesses use finance for capital expenditures under £10,000. When managed responsibly, finance can unlock new opportunities, improve profitability, and help businesses scale without draining their working capital.
Our Partnership with Origin Finance
To make the finance process simple and accessible, Nene Warehouse Solutions has partnered with Origin Finance, a Northampton-based independent broker specialising in warehouse fit-out finance.
This partnership gives our clients access to tailored finance packages that are competitive, flexible, and fast to arrange – whether you’re a blue-chip organisation, a growing SME or a start-up with big plans.
Who Are Origin Finance?
Like Nene, Origin Finance is a people-first business with a strong ethical core. Their team is made up of experienced commercial finance professionals committed to transparency, clarity and genuine client support.
Origin works differently from traditional lenders. As a broker, they search the market for you, comparing terms and handling the process end-to-end. That includes preparing the proposal, liaising with lenders, and completing the documentation – all from a single application.
You stay focused on your business while they do the legwork.
What Is Fit-Out Finance?
Fit-out finance provides businesses with funding for warehouse installations and refurbishments. It can be used for projects such as:
-
New storage systems or pallet racking
-
Mezzanine floors
-
Office or production area fit-outs
-
Complete reconfigurations or layout upgrades
-
Equipment purchases and premises improvements
Origin offers several funding options, including Hire Purchase, Finance Lease, or a Business Loan. Repayments are made monthly or quarterly over an agreed term, helping you spread the cost of capital projects without large upfront expenses.
By financing your warehouse investment, you can retain cash flow, protect liquidity and start seeing return on investment from day one.
Key Benefits of Fit-Out Finance
Faster Return on Investment
Finance allows you to implement changes now rather than waiting to build up capital. Your investment begins paying for itself immediately, helping you scale faster and more efficiently.
Tax and VAT Advantages
Interest paid on finance agreements is tax-deductible, helping to offset your liabilities. Origin can also defer VAT payments at no extra cost, giving you time to recover the VAT without straining your cash flow.
Flexible Terms
Choose a repayment plan that suits your operation. Payment terms can span 3–5 years, and seasonal businesses can opt for flexible structures that match busier and quieter trading periods.
Build Credit Strength
Using commercial finance helps build your credit profile and opens doors to better terms in future. If this is your first time applying, or if you have a limited credit history, Origin can support your application and help position your business for approval.
Is Finance Right for Your Warehouse Project?
If you’re planning a new installation, reconfiguration, or expansion, but want to retain working capital and reduce risk, finance could be the tool that unlocks your next phase of growth.
