Innovation finance
Drones & UAVs
Ag spray drones, survey platforms and industrial inspection systems are now genuine business tools with genuine price tags. Where lender policy permits, finance may cover the wider equipment system rather than only the aircraft.
The whole kit
Batteries, generators, ground stations, RTK bases, trailers and software may be considered as part of the system, subject to lender policy.
Operator businesses
Contract spraying, survey and inspection operators are growing fast. We understand the revenue model.
Compliance aware
We do not give aviation advice, but we know lenders will ask about licensing and commercial use.
