£75m funding for Syscap
Syscap has secured an additional £75
million (€83.1 million) in finance with a UK bank. The funds will
be used to fund customers’ IT investments that had been delayed by
the onset of the downturn, the IT financier said. The additional

and securing additional capacity with a number of institutional
lenders. In July, Syscap secured £50 million to be used with
professional services firms.

restructure

between its four business finance areas: contract hire, factoring,
equipment finance and business lending. The process has also led to
the disposal of GE Money which, said Jenkins, “didn’t add value”
(see profile on page 43).
