Who we are

Our purpose

To back British businesses to be the best they can be, by providing a more SME-friendly way to finance growth.

Changing how businesses think about leasing

We help UK businesses grow with flexible leasing solutions designed to improve cashflow and efficiency — removing the need for large upfront costs and devaluation risks. Since 1990, we've supported over 200,000 businesses, providing tailored funding and equipment solutions that adapt to each company's unique needs.

From innovative solar ventures to llarge scale farming operations, and everything in between, we're committed to backing ambitious UK businesses with financing options that work on their terms—not a one-size-fits-all model.
