We work closely with our network of third party introducers, specialist brokers and financial intermediaries to ensure the right solution is found for all situations. Specialist Asset Finance We support transactions secured against assets that have long-term value and solid resale potential, including trucks, machinery, plant and equipment. Our specialist team is a market leader in formulating solutions for non-standard transactions, where a deeper knowledge of the asset plays a large part in understanding the customer's needs and options. Our approach considers the health of the business rather than the value of the asset. We offer covenant-based lending solutions, where well established businesses demonstrating repayment ability enable us to provide funding for mission critical investments. With a wide and diverse expertise in the funding of receivables, we are able to tailor terms that support the release of cash tied up in assets. Our ability to provide a fast and efficient experience has made us an industry leader within markets including football and rugby transfers, education, IT and renewable energy.
