Many assets have a lifespan of several years after a finance agreement, and it is possible to refinance them to raise cash. The cash can be used for any purpose, or the assets can be used as deposit in the puirchase of new assets so no cash is taken out of the business.

Example
A local bus company lost a major contract through no fault of its own and had coaches which were able to be refinanced. This exercise reduced their outgoings by £800 per month and was able to be transacted within 14 days.
