Equipment Finance News White Oak UK and Spotcap launch partnership to expand customer choice Published: 1st May 2019 Share Business lenders White Oak UK and Spotcap are to work in partnership to improve access to finance for UK companies. White Oak UK’s offering includes asset finance, commercial mortgages and business finance, while Spotcap provides fully unsecured business loans, without the need for a personal guarantee. The two companies will work on a mutual referral basis, recommending each other to support a larger number of businesses with a wider range of needs. The new partnership has already benefited businesses such as a wholesaler based in Oxfordshire. The company, which sells medical equipment, initially reached out to White Oak UK looking for a business loan to manage their cash flow. As the wholesaler didn’t want to provide any debentures or guarantees, White Oak UK made the referral to Spotcap. Due to stable sales numbers, growing profits and well-managed bank accounts, the lender was able to provide a fully unsecured £50,000 loan for 12 months with no personal guarantee required. Kevin Vendel, head of sales at Spotcap, said: “UK businesses need access to the right funding to thrive. But with so many different solutions out there, that can be challenging. If one lender doesn’t have the right solution, why not establish a partnership with another one to compliment the offering?” Chris Heeley, credit director at White Oak UK (pictured), added: “As the relationship with Spotcap progresses, I’m certain that we will continue to work together to maximise the opportunities and facilities available to further build on the foundations we have already laid in respect of supporting UK SMEs.” Asset Finance Connect Asset Finance Connect brings you news and updates about UK and European auto, equipment and asset finance providers.
