  • A flexible approach, with facilities structured to match the nature of your business
  • Our deep industry experience and understanding means we can make informed decisions quickly

Platform Lending highlights

Making the most of your origination capabilities to keep finance flowing can be a critical enabler to your growth ambitions. 

  • Improved cashflow – Platform Lending takes the strain off cashflow, quickly releasing funds tied-up in loan receivables that can be used to grow the business
  • A new capital-light income stream - you collect a fee on the origination activity without requiring the equity or debt capital to fund the loans
  • Secure and reliable – as these facilities are committed for a number of years, you have certainty in today`s uncertain economic environment
  • Scalability – grow your existing business and enter new or adjacent markets without the capital constraints of retaining loans on balance sheet

About our Platform Lending facility

Catering for larger non-bank lenders who want funding with certainty, Platform Lending enables you to make the most of your originations and raise additional funds against a future income stream generated from receivables in your loan book. This facility eases cashflow and releases capital quickly, which is ideal for non-bank financial institutions who want to scale further, efficiently.

  • Committed forward flow facility with purchase volumes ranging from £50m - £120m per annum
  • Purchase rate – 100% of the principal value of the loan to the underlying customer
  • Repayment terms – collections are managed by the lender and passed across to Shawbrook
  • Servicing fee – payable to the lender
  • Fee – agreed case by case as a % of the rate charged to the underlying customer
  • Leverage size of balance sheet and cost of funds to materially grow origination capacity
