Longriver Group is an independent group of specialist leasing companies focused exclusively on the education sector. As a self-financed direct lender, we operate without reliance on banks or brokers, offering simple, transparent, and fully government-compliant leases that meet EFSA guidelines.
We work with every type of school – including state, academy, independent, colleges, and universities – and with 40 years of experience in education leasing, we’ve seen (and helped with) just about everything schools might need.
Our mission is to help schools make the most of their budgets through tailored leasing solutions, backed by expert support and minimal paperwork – all our agreements are just one page. We take the complexity out of leasing so schools can focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality education.
The group includes:
• Utility Rentals – Supports schools directly by spreading the cost of everything from individual laptops to full IT infrastructure, temporary classrooms, and playground structures. We are unique in that we are both the supplier and the leasing company – offering one point of contact and unbeatable pricing.
• Classroom As A Service – Our supplier-focused funding arm, providing a seamless, AI-powered lease proposal tool and market-leading rates with no broker fees. Designed to help education suppliers offer finance directly to their school customers.
• iPads for Education – A dedicated solution for spreading the cost of Apple technology via compliant operating leases tailored specifically for schools.
