The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Not too far away

A strong global economy, but uncertainty lies ahead.

Across the pondOur back yard


What about Brexit?

Political and economic uncertainty

What we have seen so far

£ weakened against $ and €;

Some real estate has declined in value;

UK downgraded by several credit agencies;

Disruption in the ability of UK banks to access funding.

What could happen

Slow growth in UK;

Imported goods more expensive;

UK may create its own path in regulation of

domestic financial services;

Significant uncertainty.

What does it mean for Alternative Finance?

Banks still retreating from financing SMEs, more opportunities for borrowers;

Short term funding opportunities more attractively priced;

Lack of investment opportunities elsewhere makes alternative finance more

attractive for funders.

continental Europe and the UK;

supply chain finance programme;

Extended days payable outstanding by 45 days;

There was zero cost to our client who was able to gain a

3.5% increase in gross margin;

Industrial coatings business based in North of England with

annual turnover of £7m;

Client had won 2 large contracts creating a need for an

additional £750k working capital;

Incumbent bank declined to support;

Traditional invoice finance solutions required control over

the whole sales ledger and restricted the amount of funding

available;

Fees based on all turnover meant that traditional invoice line was too expensive;

Restricted funding from traditional invoice finance meant that company would not have sufficient funds to carry out

new contracts;

Sancus Finance provided a £750k invoice finance line for the 2 new customers only;

Company generated in excess of 10% contract values and they have now been invited to tender for additional

contracts, ensuring the company’s continued growth.


Case Study – Business loan

Simulity Labs Limited is a software company based in Bangor, Wales

specialising in embedded communications and related server

applications, serving over 45 mobile network operators;

Their pioneering eSims and Over The Air platform enable their customers

to embrace the Internet of Things with no compromise on quality, security

or privacy;

Simulity was growing impressively (>50% CAGR) but was constrained

by the working capital required to deliver the additional demand from their

customer base;

Sancus provided a £1.5m loan, amortising over 3 years which unlocked delivery of the trapped extra revenue and

enabled Simulity to continue on its growth trajectory;

A further tranche of £500k has been provided to assist in the development of the new eUICC suite of products

(embedded SIM), repayment of which has been structured over the remaining term of the original loan;

Since Sancus’s involvement, the business has increased revenues by 100%.
