What We Do

Unlocking the value of unpaid invoices has become an increasingly important way for businesses to gain access to working capital.

Small businesses owed large amounts by their customers (often larger corporates) can face cash flow issues, as can seasonal businesses with uneven income streams. Asset based finance helps businesses access flexible and much needed working capital that grows with their business.

Our receivables finance and asset based lending team offers a specialist service, focussed on this particular form of lending. We provide detailed advice, tailored to the specific needs of:

UK and overseas asset based lenders
Specialist Finance Houses
Corporates
SMEs
Investment funds
Partnerships
Joint ventures

We act for most of the main asset based lenders operating in the UK, and regularly get invited to speak at industry conferences and to provide specialist training.
