One Stop Business Finance, a non-bank lender supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a range of commercial funding solutions, has secured an increased facility of £20m from Shawbrook Bank to support its ongoing growth.
The uplifted facility will allow One Stop Business Finance (OSBF) to keep delivering flexible funding to clients and grow its own loan book, helping to deliver services to an increased number of UK SMEs.
One Stop Business Finance offers bespoke funding options to businesses - from working capital solutions to revolving credit facilities, bridging and development loans. Celebrating 10 years this year, One Stop Business Finance has lent £120m to over 500 clients, supporting their businesses when other lenders have said ‘no’.
The relationship between OSBF and Shawbrook began in 2019, with Shawbrook providing a £3m facility funding OSBF’s bridging and development finance book. This has since increased in line with business needs and growth, most recently from £15m to £20m.
Shawbrook is OSBF’s largest funding partner, with Shawbrook’s deep understanding of both the business and the wider market being a key driver behind the relationship.
With this new infusion of funds, OSBF will be able to continue its profitable growth, assisting more businesses with their financial needs and driving long-term success.
