Alternative Commercial Finance (ACF) is a specialist solutions-focused funding group. We originate, structure, fund and manage asset-backed financing programmes for the UK public sector, from laptops for schools to modular buildings and medical equipment for NHS trusts.
Figures relate to Room Twelve Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alternative Commercial Finance Limited.
We start with the objective, whether that's the school that needs classrooms, the NHS trust replacing critical equipment, or the local authority housing families in temporary accommodation, and we design and provide the financial means to deliver.
We have provided over 1,500 lease contracts to our public sector client base over 12 years.
The UK public sector needs a competitively priced approach built to last. In many cases ACF is providing finance for projects that are now UK national priorities.
We have over 12 years' experience providing alternative solutions to meet individual project needs across the UK public sector.
From national frameworks to single-site requirements, our funding is designed for each public service delivery.
We understand our customers' needs and are committed to presenting solutions designed to meet deadlines and economic expectations.
