Allica Bank Asset Finance sales head Brandon Hall said: “It is important that we listen to the brokers that are supporting established businesses. They see first hand what their clients need, and by broadening our support for soft assets, it will make it easier for established businesses to say yes to more opportunities and invest with confidence.
“Business owners are fighting an uphill battle when it comes to lending, with the UK now having the lowest lending rates in the G7. At Allica, we want to help to fix that, which means keeping broker deals moving and giving established businesses access to finance where it matters most.”
Last month, Allica Bank engaged in a sponsorship deal with young racing driver Daniella Sutton, supporting her career goals in motorsport.
