As well as sharing some operational
resources with FP Mailing, Clear started life with a vendor
agreement in place with the company, which has formed a core part
of its business.

While franking machines and other mailing
equipment assets formed an important early core for Clear’s
business, the company is also pursuing deals in the plant and
machinery sector, and is beginning to explore renewable energy
assets.

According to Dexter, the company has seen
the potential to transact plenty of single-digit million pound
deals in the renewable sector, with one potential deal being
examined bearing a ticket size of £80m.

With a staff of 10 and business volume just
shy of £1m per month, Clear expects to introduce more than £12m to
its 8-lender panel in 2012, excluding the value of any renewable
energy asset deals.
