4.5/1 Ian Wilkins


One of the bigger, non-high street bank, invoice financiers with 15 years’ experience to offer and now a part of the new force in UK SME finance, Aldermore, which also offers banking, commercial and residential mortgages and hard-asset finance. The invoice finance operation targets companies in the £250k+ turnover band for discounting and will talk about any size of business for factoring.


A client/personnel ratio of 4.5/1 suggests that service levels are good and that more complex areas of lending exposure will be considered. The personality is of the warm, practical, north of England persuasion and business growth of 20%+ in 2010 suggests that many companies like what they find here. Call 0800 021 7040 for a friendly, but well-informed discussion. You may be surprised at just what is possible.

With an average client turnover of £207k you can see why “The Friend of the Smaller Business” is how this charming finance house portrays itself and with complete justification. Manchester-based but with a nationwide reach thanks to its merger with Ultimate Finance, something that has substantially cut administration costs, Ashley funds those smaller businesses, often to quite high exposure levels on certain invoices, but with an efficiency betokened by its 10.7 client/personnel ratio. Ashley introduces many small businesses to invoice finance


and can now, if clients grow too large, pass them seamlessly to Ultimate.
