The firm specialises in providing debt financing and is subscribed to an initial issuance of a £15m loan note programme with Praetura. With a combined loan book of £100m, the enlarged group aims to offer SMEs a wider range of services.

Praetura offers funding between £10k – £3m for leasing, hire purchase and refinancing across various hard asset classes, including transport, construction, engineering and agriculture.

Earlier this year, Praetura closed a £75m securitisation facility with NatWest Markets. The rated facility will allow Praetura to expand its origination capacity, enabling growth in its loan book to provide up to £200m to SMEs across the UK.

NatWest has previously granted funding of £30m into Praetura’s existing loan books, and the latest facility is intended to enable Praetura to increase its funding capacity.
