Whitefield-based Access Hire and Finance secures £750k funding

Whitefield-based Access Hire and Finance, a provider of credit hire services to road traffic accident victims, has secured a £750k invoice finance facility from Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance.

Established 11 years ago, it employs 27 staff and also assists with accident related finance, helping to fund repairs and maintenance for car garages.

The company achieved turnover of £3.6 million in the year to November 2014 and is expected to see its revenue jump to £4.2 million in its current financial year as a result of the additional funding.

Director at Access Hire and Finance, Chris McCormack, said: “We operate in a niche sector that doesn’t fit the criteria for funding set by the big banks.

“Secure Trust Bank took the time to understand our needs and had a firm grip on our business from the start.

“Having this new facility in place provides us with the headroom to focus on the day-to-day running of the business and puts us in a much stronger position to achieve our growth objectives.”

Regional sales director at Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance, Dave Green, said: “Access Hire has significantly improved its operational procedures over the last 12 months which has had a positive impact on its efficiency.

“The company is now in an excellent position to unlock growth opportunities and we look forward to supporting the team at this exciting time.”
