Two assets can have exactly the same asking price, yet require completely different approaches to financing. Why?
Take a yacht and an aircraft. With a yacht, the builder, model, year of construction, refit history and condition can all tell you something important about the asset. With an aircraft, the picture is different, with flight hours, maintenance records, engine condition, age and technical specification all contributing to its assessment.
Even two yachts of the same model, or two aircraft of the same type, can present very different considerations depending on their history, condition and intended use.
This is why the asking price only tells part of the story. Understanding the asset behind the transaction is what makes specialist yacht and aircraft financing a discipline in its own right.
