An Ellesmere Port-based independent funding provider has passed the £300m mark of assets financed, it has been revealed.

Solutions Asset Finance (SAF) supports major suppliers of assets across the UK, giving them an alternative to capital purchase with transactions ranging in value from £25,000 to more than £10m. The company's key sectors are the NHS, the public sector, green technology and modular buildings, with clients including Carl Zeiss, Schneider Electric, Hill-Rom and ModuleCo Healthcare.

SAF also provides a dedicated sales support service to its supplier clients, which aims to help them to significantly increase sales conversion rates. The service has now been packaged up into a product called Mind the Gap, which launches in March 2017.

Steve Bowers (pictured), founder and managing director of Solutions Asset Finance, said: "We have grown significantly during the past ten years and this year will see us explore some new key markets and provide further significant growth.

"We have the flexibility to be able to provide our clients with the right service for them whether it is finance, sales support or a combination of the two.

"We are firmly established in our key sectors of healthcare, public sector, green technologies and modular buildings. Within each of these sectors, we work with a select number of global and national suppliers to provide a service that goes well beyond that of a finance company. We support sales teams in all commercial aspects in order to close sales.

"Within the public sector, we have completed transactions with over half of the UK's NHS trusts. In the private sector, we work closely with a large number of corporate clients with whom we have written substantial volumes of business."

"Over the next 12 months we expect to see substantial growth in our core markets via the introduction of our Mind the Gap product and in two new markets - modular housing and commercial battery storage."
