Ultimate Finance’s new lending came to £126m in the first half of the year, up 15% on the same period last year.

Ultimate Finance said this was the highest ever half-year origination results and all its product ranges were performing well.

The firm noted that the lending book reached £257m, a record, adding that the “diversification and scale” were being delivered across three product verticals.

The lender said it recently increased its invoice finance facility size from £7m to £10m to support funding requirements.

Ultimate Finance has also enhanced its bridging finance range, lowered rates on development exit facilities, launched a light-touch refurbishment offering up to 85% day one loan to value (LTV) and added more flexibility on net sales proceeds release.

The company has also grown its asset finance team, moved into a larger office and increased its securitisation facility.

Having all three areas of the business – working capital, asset finance, and bridging finance – working in unison is delivering real strategic value.

“We’ve built strong momentum, and our results reflect the strength of our team, the resilience of our local relationship-based model, and the increasing demand for our tailored finance solutions. Looking ahead, we are set to launch further developments in our Structured Finance product to address growing demand in the ABL space. We remain as committed as ever to delivering tailored funding solutions through our growing network of introducers.”
