For machines priced at £15,000 and above, LLM Groundcare offers a staged payment arrangement handled directly between you and us. No credit broker, no third-party finance company, no external application portal — the whole process stays within our business.
How it works
The arrangement is straightforward: a first payment of at least £5,000, followed by agreed instalments across a fixed term. We review your business profile, agree the schedule, put the terms in writing, and both parties sign before any money moves.
Who it suits:
- Landscaping contractors buying commercial-grade equipment for a working season
- Estate or land managers replacing fleet machines on a managed capital programme
- Golf clubs, sports venues, or councils with procurement cycles that spread capital outlay
- Any buyer where the cash-flow shape of the purchase matters and the machine price justifies the conversation
Who it doesn’t suit:
Finance applications for machines below £15,000 aren’t viable under this arrangement — at that price level, bank transfer covers the purchase cleanly and the paperwork for an instalment schedule isn’t worth it for either party.
What the first payment covers
The minimum first payment is £5,000. It confirms the order, takes the machine off the market, and begins the delivery scheduling process. It is non-refundable once the machine has been prepared for dispatch. If the delivery date or machine changes before dispatch, we can apply it to the revised order by agreement.
What we need from you
To review a staged payment application we need:
- Your name and company or trading name (if applicable)
- A UK address and contact number
- A brief description of your business and what the machine will be doing
- The machines you currently operate (gives us a sense of your groundcare needs)
- Your preferred first payment and, if relevant, a preferred monthly amount
We don’t run a credit check through a third-party bureau. Our assessment is based on a straightforward conversation about your business and your intended use of the machine.
The process
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fill in the application form on the product page for the machine you want. |
| 2 | We review your details and come back within two working days with a proposed instalment schedule. |
| 3 | You review the schedule. Nothing is committed until you agree in writing. |
| 4 | Once agreed, you send the first payment by bank transfer (TT). We confirm receipt and schedule delivery. |
| 5 | Subsequent payments follow the agreed schedule by bank transfer. |
| 6 | Machine is yours outright once the final payment is made. |
Payment method
All payments — deposit and instalments — are by bank transfer (TT). We will send you our bank details by email once the schedule is agreed. Never transfer funds to bank details that come from anywhere other than a direct email from [email protected].
To apply
The application form is on the product page for each machine priced at or above £15,000. Fill it in there — it takes less than five minutes. Alternatively, email [email protected] with the machine name and a brief summary of your situation and we’ll start the conversation from there.
