Close offers structured operating lease solutions to the Healthcare and Local Authority markets.

We are members of the Finance and Leasing Association; we adhere to its public sector code of conduct and all of our solutions are compliant with SSAP21/FRS5.

Healthcare

Clients rely on our legislative and asset management expertise to guide them through what is a complex process due to the structure of the market place, the nature of the equipment and the operating lease product itself.

We source our business through NHS Trust (including Foundation Trust) tender exercises, suppliers and a select number of approved intermediaries. We are also listed on NHS-Sid, the official NHS supplier information database (ref: 001877), as well as being active in the private medical market.

Local Authorities

With the introduction of the Prudential Code, local authorities can now access a much wider range of financial products to ensure best value.

We can provide these products, which include SSAP21 compliant operating leases, on a range of assets from specialist vehicles to furniture and equipment.

We understand the framework and environment within which local authorities operate, and can take our own view of realistic residual risks. This enables us to tailor bespoke solutions to meet our clients’ needs.
