What about Brexit?
Political and economic uncertainty
What we have seen so far
£ weakened against $ and €;
Some real estate has declined in value;
UK downgraded by several credit agencies;
Disruption in the ability of UK banks to access funding.
What could happen
Slow growth in UK;
Imported goods more expensive;
UK may create its own path in regulation of
domestic financial services;
Significant uncertainty.
What does it mean for Alternative Finance?
Banks still retreating from financing SMEs, more opportunities for borrowers;
Short term funding opportunities more attractively priced;
Lack of investment opportunities elsewhere makes alternative finance more
attractive for funders.

additional £750k working capital;

the whole sales ledger and restricted the amount of funding
available;
Fees based on all turnover meant that traditional invoice line was too expensive;

new contracts;
Sancus Finance provided a £750k invoice finance line for the 2 new customers only;
Company generated in excess of 10% contract values and they have now been invited to tender for additional
contracts, ensuring the company’s continued growth.

Case Study – Business loan
Simulity Labs Limited is a software company based in Bangor, Wales
specialising in embedded communications and related server
applications, serving over 45 mobile network operators;
Their pioneering eSims and Over The Air platform enable their customers
to embrace the Internet of Things with no compromise on quality, security
or privacy;
Simulity was growing impressively (>50% CAGR) but was constrained
by the working capital required to deliver the additional demand from their
customer base;
Sancus provided a £1.5m loan, amortising over 3 years which unlocked delivery of the trapped extra revenue and
enabled Simulity to continue on its growth trajectory;
A further tranche of £500k has been provided to assist in the development of the new eUICC suite of products
(embedded SIM), repayment of which has been structured over the remaining term of the original loan;
Since Sancus’s involvement, the business has increased revenues by 100%.
