Nucleus plans to expand its product offering and will hire three asset-based lending specialists in the next few months.
Chirag Shah, chief executive officer, Nucleus Commercial Finance, said: “We’re attracting a growing number of businesses thanks to our specialist team’s ability to understand customers’ financing needs and provide timely, tailored solutions.”
Shah added with Brexit-related uncertainty, SMEs would need fast lending decisions, and suggested that alternative lending was part of a solution.
Shah said: “The government has a range of initiatives in place to support SMEs and the lending industry has a critical role to play in developing the associated solutions and educating businesses on the options available to them.”
