Today we celebrate a significant milestone for Simply and our Northern Ireland team who have surpassed £100m of lending in the region! So, what does that look like? 📈 Over 700 SMEs trusting us to help them invest in growth 📃1800+ loan agreements signed to secure business essential assets 🏗 2900+ pieces of equipment financed in the construction, agriculture, transport, manufacturing and recycling sectors Gary Coburn, Head of Northern Ireland said: “We’re seeing fantastic growth opportunities for SMEs across Northern Ireland. Challenges like Brexit, Covid-19, and a period without a functioning Northern Ireland Executive, clearly haven’t thrown these businesses off their stride, who have remained remarkably resilient. As we look ahead, we’re committed to supporting them with tailored lending solutions, helping them thrive and continue driving our economy forward. I’m reminded daily of the ambitious nature of the SMEs we work with, and look forward to seeing their growth plans become a reality in the coming months and years.” You can read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/epqgC98F #SMEfinance #NorthernIreland #milestone

📊 SME growth on hold as businesses await the Budget Our latest research shows that around three quarters (74%) of UK SMEs say the upcoming Budget will impact their future growth. SMEs are calling for help with energy costs (33%), reducing red tape (28%), and more incentives for innovation (27%) to unlock growth. The optimism and enthusiasm for growth among SMEs across the UK remains clear. But with 16% having paused or reduced investment in innovation, creating an environment that encourages investment is fundamental to converting this into reality. Mike Randall, CEO of Simply Asset Finance, says: “By providing targeted support around high energy costs, reducing red tape, and offering tax incentives for innovation, the government can empower SMEs to innovate, grow, and compete locally, nationally, and even globally.” Read more in City AM: https://lnkd.in/eFW63uvY #SMEs #AutumnStatement #FinanceSolutions #SimplyAssetFinance
