Innovative finance partnership breaks down facility funding barriers

17th Mar 2021

S&C Slatter are pleased to announce our exciting new partnership with experienced finance brokers Buckingham Leasing.

As leading sports construction specialists since 1991, we’re thrilled to combine our expertise with Buckingham Leasing’s proven history in delivering flexible and competitive financial solutions.

Through our exclusive new partnership, clients can now (subject to approval) fund, construct and maintain sports pitches, athletics tracks and playing courts through one dedicated point of contact.

Fund a new 3G pitch for as little as £8,300 a month

With competitive finance rates equating to as little as £8,300 a month over 7 years for a brand new 3G Pitch, the partnership will empower schools, universities, clubs and councils to fund and build sports facilities with greatly reduced up-front costs.

Our three finance options provide an alternative, affordable route for sports facility funding, construction and maintenance. Delivered through one point of contact, organisations can spread the cost of their investment over time to maximise cash flow, realise tax benefits and better forecast business expenditure.

Together, S&C Slatter and Buckingham Leasing will offer construction and finance packages across three finance solutions: sports operating leases, hire purchase agreements and finance leases.
