ING Lease (UK) limited , the UK’s biggest asset finance and leasing company, yesterday announced that as from the end of November they are withdrawing from the UK market. All deals must be completed from start to finish by the end of November. This will undoubtedly leave a big whole to fill as they advanced approximately £40m every month. There will obviously be consequences for UK businesses as the alternative finance companies tend to be more expensive and their underwriting requirements are more onerous. Thankfully XL Business Finance has access to alternative funding lines and we are well placed to find the next best solution.
