Phil Woodward, Chief Executive at Leumi ABL, recently spoke to Actum Group about how and why asset based lending (ABL) has gained traction as an alternative debt tool, and the outlook for ABL over the coming months. “ABL is all about making the assets of the business work for the business. There’s no requirement for any external security, and therefore it’s a fairly simple and cost effective way of financing a business and future proofing it in terms of growth.” “ABL as a product offering in the UK has moved quite considerably over the last 15 years, and certainly in the last five to 10 years. It has become a mainstream product used by debt advisors and corporate financiers in both the refinance and the transactional world for corporates.” Read full article: https://lnkd.in/eYZ6fH9Q #ABL #PrivateEquity #Lending

Jonathan Hughes, Regional Sales Director at Leumi ABL, recently participated in an panel discussion on UK funding trends, hosted by the The IFT and expertly moderated by Rob Asplin, Partner at PwC. During the webinar, Jonathan shared his insights into the evolution of the asset-based lending (ABL) market over the past five years including: 📊 How total funds drawn across the ABL market remained consistent at £24bn from September 2019 to September 2024. 📉How the number of ABL clients decreased from 39,000 to 33,000, reflecting a strategic shift among lenders to focus on mid-market and mature companies rather than startups and very small SMEs. 📈 How the number of client companies with turnovers exceeding £100m increased by 20%, showing that ABL is increasingly utilised by larger, successful businesses. We extend our thanks to the IFT and fellow panellists Niamh Buckley and David Stone for curating such an engaging and thought-provoking discussion, illustrating the critical role of capital in successful corporate turnarounds. #FundingTrends #ABL #CorporateFinance #LeumiUK #IFT #turnaround
