🌏 Expanding Our Reach, Supporting Global Growth

💰  Lending Bigger, Supporting Growth
This quarter saw a remarkable increase in average invoice sizes (£10,211.87) and facility sizes (£195,000). Underscoring a growing trend: larger companies turn to innovative lenders when they find traditional banks too rigid to meet their unique financial needs.

⌛ Smoothing out cashflow in the run-up to the holidays
By deferring payments to suppliers, we provided a staggering 94,830 extra days of cash flow across our customer base. This offers vital breathing room for businesses stocking up ahead of peak trading season in November and December.
Among our customers, the 3-month repayment tenor emerged as the most preferred option, offering a balance of flexibility and financial planning that aligns with their operational needs.

🏗️ Leading Sectors: Where We Made the Most Impact
