The UK beauty and medical aesthetics industry continues to thrive thanks to increased customer demand for the latest innovations and treatments. Shire Leasing is proud to support this thriving sector, and this Autumn we’re taking our 30+ years of experience on the road to CCR London, Professional Beauty North, and Professional Beauty Autumn.
We’ll be in attendance at these events, talking to everyone from ambitious clinic owners to beauty equipment suppliers to explore how finance can help them grow affordably and sustainably. Keep reading to see how flexible finance can help play a key part in your next stage of growth.
As we’ve said, the UK beauty and medical aesthetic industry continues to be a shining light of the country’s economy. The rapid growth of new treatments made possible by new technologies has seen customer demand for beauty services soar. The need, therefore, for beauty businesses to continuously invest to remain competitive is higher than it has ever been.
Unfortunately, large up-front costs for high-end laser devices, technology, and luxury salon spaces often stop the next big beauty brand from making its mark on the industry. Many beauty brands are side-stepping these upfront costs by opting for asset finance as a more sustainable route to growth. These businesses can access the assets they need to remain competitive without harming their cash flow with a partner like Shire by their side.
In addition to arranging finance options with businesses directly, we are a trusted vendor finance partner to many of the industry’s beauty and aesthetics supplier brands – so they can make their products more financially accessible. Many of these are exhibiting and offering finance options at CCR and PB events too (register for tickets and visit our online exhibitor profiles to see our approved partners exhibiting and their stand numbers).
Through our vendor partners we received over £10 million in finance applications from beauty businesses in 2024 alone, helping salons, clinics, practitioners and more invest in the growth of their businesses without draining vital cash reserves. As an independent funder with over 30 years of experience, we know what it takes for new, exciting UK businesses to stake their claim in their industry and are on hand to help them with flexible, tailored asset finance solutions.
We remain committed to supporting this sector with tailored finance solutions, as demonstrated by our attendance at ACE and Aesthetic Medicine Live earlier this year. Our knowledge of the beauty and aesthetic industry, combined with our vendor partnerships with some of the country’s leading cutting-edge equipment suppliers and brands, allows us to help established businesses and start-ups alike reach their goals.
Our team will be on hand to speak to beauty businesses looking to grow, as well as equipment suppliers and exhibitors looking to offer customer finance options at point-of-sale. No matter who you are, if you’re in the beauty industry, come and speak to Shire!
So if you’re planning to attend one of these events, pre-book a meeting with one of our specialists or drop by our stand. We’d love to learn about your growth plans and show you how Shire can help you every step of the way.
