How Corporate Asset Solutions works
Corporate Asset Solutions operates as a asset finance broker provider in the UK SMB market. Corporate Asset Solutions Limited (CN 05182703) was dissolved in January 2026; sister entities CAS 2 and CAS 3 dissolved earlier. The trading name has appeared as a UK asset finance broker historically. With the legal entity dissolved, status as an active UK lender is not verifiable. Listed for borrower reference only.
The product mechanic is straightforward in shape but the underwriting is sector-specific. Tickets sit in the Bespoke band, decisions land within 24 to 72 hours, and the published rate range is Quoted at offer. A hard search may apply at quote stage; ask before you submit if credit-file footprint matters to you. Like most UK lenders to limited companies, the standard SMB lending sits outside the FCA perimeter.
Where Corporate Asset Solutions fits best: reference and historical context only. Where it does not fit: any current business loan need (entity dissolved).

When to use Corporate Asset Solutions
Use Corporate Asset Solutions when
Your application matches the best-fit profile: reference and historical context only. The published ticket range (Bespoke) covers your ask, the decision speed (24 to 72 hours) fits your cash-gap timeline, and the rate range (Quoted at offer) is acceptable to you given your credit profile.
Do not use Corporate Asset Solutions when
Your profile sits in the weak-at list: any current business loan need (entity dissolved). Corporate Asset Solutions will likely decline, and the decline itself can sit on broker records for 90 days. If you have any of these flags, route directly to a specialist (post-decline lender, MCA against card flow, asset-backed alternative) rather than using Corporate Asset Solutions as a screen.
FAQs
What is the minimum trading time for Corporate Asset Solutions?
Corporate Asset Solutions typically asks for 12 to 24 months of trading. Newer businesses can sometimes qualify against alternative underwriting (card flow for MCA, asset security for asset finance), but the cleanest pricing tends to require two full sets of accounts.
Does Corporate Asset Solutions require a personal guarantee?
Most UK SMB lenders require a personal guarantee from at least one director. Corporate Asset Solutions is no exception in the standard case. The few exceptions: asset-backed lending where the asset itself stands as security, and a small number of MCA structures where card flow is the underwriting basis. For asset finance broker specifically, expect a PG to be requested.
How fast does Corporate Asset Solutions fund?
Corporate Asset Solutions quotes 24 to 72 hours for an underwriting decision. Funding to bank account typically follows within one to three working days of acceptance, subject to KYC, signed documents, and (where applicable) registration of any debenture or charge.
What rate should I expect from Corporate Asset Solutions?
Corporate Asset Solutions's published range is Quoted at offer. The headline number is rarely the offered number. Rate transparency on this lender scores 0/5 in our methodology. Expect the cleaner end of the band only if you have 2+ years of trading, clean credit, and turnover comfortably above the lender's stated floor.
What happens if Corporate Asset Solutions declines me?
If Corporate Asset Solutions declines, you have three realistic next steps. First, ask for the decline reason in writing, most reputable UK lenders will tell you. Second, route the application to a specialist post-decline lender (Bizcap, JPM Capital, Bolton Finance) where credit issues are the constraint, or to an asset-backed alternative where security is available. Third, use a broker panel to fan the application across the lenders most likely to accept your specific decline reason. Corporate Asset Solutions scores 0/5 on decline handling in our methodology.
