Bobcat has launched a campaign called ‘Work Now, Pay Later’, which offers a 180-day schedule for the first payment, to underpin the purchase of new Bobcat loaders, mini-excavators and telehandlers.

As a result, we have launched our very special finance scheme to help businesses using compact equipment, to help alleviate their worries about cash flow in these uncertain times.”
JCB Finance, meanwhile, is offering an emergency three month payment holiday on hire purchase and leasing agreements in response to the Covid-19 crisis.
