Why Asset Finance in Birmingham Is Gaining Momentum in the Construction Sector, and How Jones & Co Are Supporting the Surge

Birmingham is entering a new era of regeneration, with the construction sector standing at the forefront. Fuelled by major developments such as the £3 billion Sports Quarter, the demand for flexible and accessible funding is growing rapidly and asset finance is emerging as a critical solution. At Jones & Co, we are supporting this surge by offering tailored alternative finance options that empower businesses to grow.

 

The impact of Birmingham’s Sports Quarter 

A defining project in Birmingham’s urban transformation is the recently signed-off £3 billion Sports Quarter. Spearheaded by Knighthead Capital Management, owners of Birmingham City Football Club, this development will include:

– A 60,000-seat stadium

– World-class training and media facilities

– Commercial and residential infrastructure

– A 1.5-mile tunnel linking the stadium directly to Birmingham New Street Station

With over 3,000 jobs set to be created, the project will boost local employment and drive demand for skilled contractors, heavy machinery, and supporting services, many of which require substantial upfront investment.

Why asset finance is booming

According to the Finance & Leasing Association, asset finance new business grew by 9% year-on-year in July 2024, with plant and machinery finance leading the charge at 14%. This surge is no coincidence, businesses are increasingly seeking funding that allows them to:

– Spread the cost of high-value construction equipment

– Preserve cash flow while investing in growth

– Access new assets without tying up capital

This model is ideal for the construction industry, where equipment is essential but often expensive and where traditional lending can be slow, rigid, or insufficient.

The need for smarter, flexible finance

We understand  the unique challenges facing construction firms today, especially SMEs and subcontractors looking to win their share of high-profile projects like the Birmingham Sports Quarter.

We offer tailored asset finance solutions that help businesses acquire the machinery, vehicles, or technology they need to grow, without the burden of large upfront costs. Our alternative finance approach allows for:

– Bespoke repayment structures to suit project timelines

– Access to a broad panel of specialist lenders

– Fast decisions and expert support throughout the funding journey

Whether you need to lease new equipment or release capital from existing assets, Jones & Co can unlock the finance you need to keep your business moving forward.

Investing in Birmingham’s future

As Birmingham accelerates into a new phase of development, the construction sector’s role is crucial, and so is the ability to access funding quickly and flexibly. We are proud to partner with forward-thinking construction firms who are building Birmingham’s future.

No matter the size or scope of the project, we can provide the support, strategy, and speed that the construction sector needs.
