Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending delivers facilities to SMEs and lower mid-market corporates. It provides full asset-based lending facilities and cash flow loans in support of acquisition, refinancing, cash-out and turnaround scenarios.

Private investment firm SEA Equity acquired Pyroban from Caterpillar in November 2017 in an accelerated carve‐out transaction.

Jonas Rave, director at SEA Equity, said: “Arbuthnot Commercial ABL proved to be very flexible in its approach to funding international debtors. Their team moved extremely quickly, completing the deal within two weeks of agreeing terms. The team thought through the issues together with us, were solutions‐oriented throughout and constantly worked towards our agreed outcomes.”
