Paragon Bank supports UK SMEs with over $41m in funding
Paragon Bank has offered more than £31m ($41.8m) in funding to more than 200 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through the British Business Bank's Growth Guarantee Scheme (GGS). This initiative, part of the UK Government's broader support for British enterprise, has allowed Paragon to extend financial support to businesses across various sectors, including agriculture, construction, manufacturing and transport. Paragon said the scheme's impact has been 'significant', allowing it to facilitate business investments that would likely have been unfeasible without this support. The GGS offers unsecured loans and asset-based finance, with the volume of lending and the number of businesses supported growing daily. The scheme is set to run until March 2026, offering Paragon insights to inform future credit appetite and broaden its customer reach. Earlier this month, the government announced an additional £10.3bn in funding for the British Business Bank, including £500m in extra lending capacity for the GGS. Paragon continues to collaborate with the British Business Bank to allocate more GGS funding, supporting both existing and new customers. Paragon Bank's SME lending deputy managing director Phil Hughes said: 'The Growth Guarantee Scheme has been a powerful tool and resounding success in helping us extend more support to ambitious UK businesses who need it. 'We have already seen what a difference it can make in unlocking funding, especially for sectors vital to the economy and productivity, such as construction and agriculture, where upfront investment can be a major barrier. The early success and scale of demand speak volumes – and with the right backing, we are ready to do even more.' In the first half of its fiscal year, Paragon noted a 7.3% rise in new loans within its SME lending sector. For the six months ending 31 March 2025, the bank recorded £247m in SME lending loans, up from £230.2m in the same timeframe the previous year. Asset finance, a core element of the division, grew by 11.1% to £169.9m, outperforming the market average growth of 6.4%.

Simply Asset Finance's loan origination surpasses £1.75bn milestone
UK's Simply Asset Finance has announced that its total loan originations have exceeded the £1.75bn ($2.35bn) mark. The specialist lender company recorded pre-tax profits of £8.5m for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 (FY24), alongside revenues of £60.4m, marking a 13% increase year-on-year. Additionally, Simply Asset Finance expanded its gross loan book to £505m during 2024. Since its inception in 2017, Simply Asset Finance has grown its customer base to over 11,000 businesses and facilitated more than 22,000 agreements. The company stated that its results highlight a persistent market demand for customised lending solutions, as UK small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), facing limited financial backing, pursue more dependable and adaptable funding options. Simply Asset Finance CEO Mike Randall said: 'FY2024 has been a year of milestone achievements, and only further underscores the strength of our platform and the demand we are seeing for flexible, SME-first finance. 'These results also reflect the successful execution of our strategy to expand our reach through multi-channel operations, building on a proven, profitable foundation and deepening integration with key partners. 'UK businesses showed remarkable resilience last year – even amid ongoing economic uncertainty and policy shifts like the announcement of changes to National Insurance and minimum wage. It is in this environment, SMEs need more than just funding – but a partner that understands their challenges and can offer practical support to fuel long-term growth.' The group's financial performance last year was bolstered by investments in operational scalability, strategic partnerships, and regional growth. In May 2024, the company migrated its loan book to Lendscape's cloud-native platform to support scaling. Furthermore, the addition of a new facility loan from Bank of America and an expanded commitment from the British Business Bank's ENABLE programme broadened the company's funding base. Simply Asset Finance said its regional strategy also yielded 'strong' results, supported by a growing national team of over 180 employees. In Northern Ireland, the Belfast office surpassed £100m in total loan origination, supporting more than 700 local SMEs since its launch in 2019.
