Secure Trust Bank Invests £20bn in UK Businesses and Growth

Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance (STB CF) has successfully injected nearly £20 billion into over 250 UK businesses in the last decade. As a division specializing in asset-based lending, STB CF focuses on multi-asset ABL solutions that cater to a variety of financial needs, including mergers, acquisitions, refinancing, and corporate turnarounds. With the capability to provide debt facilities of up to £50 million, the division targets mid-market companies looking for robust financial support.

Since its establishment in 2014, STB CF has built strong, long-term relationships with private equity firms and investors, facilitating significant value creation across multiple sectors. Noteworthy deals include financing Chiltern Capital’s acquisition of Batt Cables and the merger of Lyte Ladders and LFI under Breal Capital. Furthermore, the firm played a pivotal role in supporting Modella Capital’s acquisition of Hobbycraft, which has contributed to the growth plans of the UK’s largest arts and crafts retailer.

STB CF’s impact extends to high street brands, where it has provided essential funding, including £8 million for Ann Summers’ online expansion and a substantial £50 million facility for British Steel. This strategic financial support showcases STB CF's commitment to bolstering UK businesses and fostering economic growth.
