“This facility increase further extends the long-standing relationship we have with Lloyds and our ability to provide even more funding and investment capital to SMEs throughout the UK.”
Andrew Scott, director at Lloyds, said: “Lloyds is committed to providing securitised funding to the SME sector, and we are proud not only to provide this additional funding to Ultimate Finance, but also to support the company as it continues to deliver on its growth ambitions.”
