You really need to go into this very carefully, if you are not going to get some very unwelcome (and expensive) surprises. Getting the finance would be the least of your problems.
In the absence of previous experience, I suggest you should sit down and work through some spreadsheets where you set out all the costs of ownership, and a realistic view of how much flying you will do.
In practice, you will need someone well versed in the lunacy of helicopter ownership to help you. A place to start would be with one of your local helicopter sales outfits, but bear in mind their goal: the clue is in the name.
My bet is that you will take no notice of this post. But at least I tried.
Do take up Muffin's offer, by the way.
