Ranked in the AF 40 top UK brokers

Buckingham Leasing holds a place in the AF 40, the ranking of leading UK asset finance brokers.

Rankings are useful shorthand, but the practical point for you is access. Scale means more funder relationships, and more funder relationships means a better chance of finding the right structure for an unusual asset or a tight timescale.

If you have a purchase in mind, send us the details and we will tell you where it can be placed.

Why this matters to customers

Awards and recognition only matter if they show up in the service you receive. For us, the practical value is discipline: clear proposals, properly explained options, and a team that understands the difference between a quick quote and the right structure for the asset.

That matters because asset finance is rarely just about getting an acceptance. The agreement has to fit the way the business earns, the lifespan of the kit, the tax position, the delivery timetable and the cash flow pressure around it. A good broker keeps those pieces together so the customer is not left joining them up after signing.

How we keep the standard useful

Our approach is deliberately straightforward. We ask what the asset is, why it is needed, how it will be used and what timing pressure sits behind the purchase. We then put the proposal to suitable funders in a form that is easy to underwrite and easy for the customer to understand.

The same applies whether the enquiry is a single mower, a tractor, a vehicle, a production machine or a larger fleet renewal. The value is not in making finance sound complicated. It is in removing the noise, setting out the options plainly and keeping the deal moving until the equipment is in place.

The Buckingham Leasing view

Ranked in the AF 40 top UK brokers is part of that wider story, but the work behind it is the important bit. Customers come back because they get a straight answer, because calls are returned, and because the finance is shaped around the business rather than forced into a standard box.

If you are weighing up a purchase, the useful next step is simple: send us the asset, supplier, price and timescale. We will tell you what can be done, what it is likely to cost and what information a funder will need. No ceremony, just a proper answer.

Next step

If ranked in the af 40 top uk brokers is on your mind, the useful next step is to put current figures against the real asset. A supplier quote, delivery date, deposit level and basic trading picture are usually enough to show whether the numbers work before you commit.

We will keep that conversation practical. You will get clear options, plain explanations and a structure that fits how the equipment is expected to earn, save or protect cash in your business. If the deal needs a different term, a seasonal profile, a larger deposit or a different funder, we will say so early so you can make a confident decision. That is the point of using a broker: not just a rate, but a structure that still makes sense after the asset arrives.
