Hi, I'm not holding out much hope but I was wondering if anyone could help in my situation. First, I bought a piece of therapy equipment from the US back in Feb 2007, for approx £1700 (I paid in dollars). It is not made anywhere else in the world so there was no option to buy it locally. Anyway, I've been to 4 asset finance brokers so far and they have all turned me down as their underwriters wouldn't accept the equipment as security due to it being from another country. The only solution I've found so far is to sell it to a supplier and then buy it back, but I don't know any supplier well enough to do this. So, does anyone know of an asset finance company that will
a) Accept my equipment
b) Deal with small figures like this (most won't do anything under £10k)

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who is feeling the squeeze (the bank won't give me an overdraft or loan as I'm a few hundred pounds overdrawn, which is of course fair enough). I really couldn't avoid buying this equipment as it brings in a lot of customers, but I'm having a real cashflow problem.
