£75m funding for Syscap

Syscap has secured an additional £75

be used to fund customers’ IT investments that had been delayed by
the onset of the downturn, the IT financier said. The additional
funding comes on the back of Syscap’s recent success in renewing
and securing additional capacity with a number of institutional
lenders. In July, Syscap secured £50 million to be used with
professional services firms.

GE Capital UK completes
restructure
