Over 80% of the UK's SMEs believe apprenticeships are at least partly the solution to the UK's skills gap crisis, with a further 69% of the view apprenticeships are a ‘valuable alternative to university' Four in 10 (44%) feel not enough is being done to encourage young people to consider apprenticeships. The findings are taken from the latest independent research commissioned by Close Brothers Asset Finance and are in support of National Apprenticeship Week (NAW), which highlights the positive impact that apprenticeships make on individuals, businesses and the wider economy. According to a survey by the Learning and Work Institute, around 70% of employers reported a skills shortage in their workforce. The Close Brothers Asset Finance research confirms that 50% of business owners are concerned there's a skills gap in their sector while a further 16% say the issue is regionally based. Over a third (37%) of responding firms report having an apprenticeship scheme of their own, with many (65%) stating that if financial assistance were available from either the government or the private sector to help contribute towards wages and/or training, they would put someone from their company forward to participate in an apprenticeship scheme. The National Apprenticeship Service states that 96% of employers with apprentices have experienced at least one benefit from taking on apprentices, and most can count at least eight benefits. In addition, 74% of employers say that apprentices improved products or service quality, and 78% say that they improved productivity while 73% say that staff morale is improved by having apprentices. Steve Gee, CEO of Close Brothers' Asset Finance's Industrial Equipment Division, said: “As a funder of a number of sectors that rely on apprentices, we've long seen the need and value of apprenticeship schemes, which encourage new talent into industries that really need them.”  “As part of our commitment to the SME community, we've been funding an apprenticeship scheme since 2015, in partnership with the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). Under the scheme, we contribute towards the wages of the apprentices in both the first and second year, with all training costs also covered. “The reality is, it's not cheap for an SME to invest in apprentices – and its important small business owners see it as an investment and not a cost. Handled correctly, apprenticeships can help an SME flourish and, at the same time, develop the individual apprentice.” “I believe we all have a duty to look at where, as ‘UK PLC', we need to concentrate our efforts and money. I would strongly encourage firms to support apprentices – we know first-hand what a hugely positive impact they can have.” Nikki Jones, Director of the University of Sheffield AMRC Training Centre said: “At the AMRC Training Centre, we're transforming lives through apprenticeships. We combine classroom learning and shop floor industrial experience to equip new, young talent with all the skills they need to become the advanced engineers of tomorrow.

We talk a lot about leverage at the 9fin office (it's kind of the story behind our company name, in case you were wondering) so it should come as no surprise that we think it's interesting.

After years of growth and positive sentiment, 2024 saw private credit's smallest fundraising haul since 2019. But the year-on-year drop in capital raised was far less significant than the drop in the number of funds that were closed.In this week's episode of Cloud 9fin, US private credit editor David Brooke and reporter Anna Russi discuss the latest results in private credit fundraising and how LPs are consolidating around their favorite firms. The conversation walks through how investors are feeling about the asset class and whether the incoming Trump administration can help or hinder funds on the road next year.

Rhys is the currently the Director of Strategy and Sales Operations at Brilliance-BEA Auto Finance Company in China, based in Shanghai where he was previously Sales Director for the Jaguar Land Rover brand within BBEA. Rhys has over 25 years' experience in Asset Finance across markets in China, Europe, and South Africa. His expertise extends to OEM and Dealer Relationship Management, as well as the strategic alignment and product positioning that is required to successfully enter new business markets and grow share in a sustainable way. In our conversation, Rhys paints a very positive picture of his time at boarding school in South Africa. I would describe him as stoical about his experience in military service. He suggests that at boarding school he'd learned to make the most of opportunities whatever they might be. He shares how an introduction from a friend started him on his career journey in finance and he explains how he learned a lot from being in a smaller town where he was exposed to different customer types and financing requirements. He tells the tale of how he put his hand up to grow the Alphera business in South Africa once he recognised that it was never going to happen unless someone had it as their priority. And he talks about how he recognised the need to do an international move and had the great support of his wife Michelle when it came to considering a move to Shanghai. I thoroughly enjoyed celebrating Rhys's career to date with him and I'm pleased to be able to give you this opportunity to get to know him too.  LinkedIn: Rhys Long  Episode Directory on Instagram @careerviewmirror  Email: cvm@aquilae.co.uk  If you enjoy listening to our guests career stories, please follow CAREER-VIEW MIRROR in your podcast app.   Episode recorded on 17 February, 2023

James van den Bergh, Chief Executive Officer of Trufin #TRU explains the significance of Satago's commercial agreement with Lloyds Bank and talks about progress within other parts of the business. Highlights TruFin is pleased to announce that following the conclusion of the commercial pilot first announced on 11 December 2020, and a competitive tender process, Lloyds Bank has confirmed its intention to enter into a commercial agreement to license Satago's software platform for its Single Invoice Finance and whole of book Invoice Factoring customers. Satago and Lloyds Bank have signed a letter of intent and are working towards finalising a commercial agreement in the coming months.  Satago's platform will introduce a new digitised proposition designed to help the Bank further support UK businesses. Satago expects to be paid a recurring fee for each customer of the Bank which utilises Satago's platform, as well as one-off implementation fees, with the final terms of this landmark agreement subject to commercial negotiation. TruFin is also pleased to announce that, ahead of signing the commercial agreement, Lloyds Banking Group has today completed an investment of £5 million of new equity capital in Satago, at a pre-money valuation of £20 million. All parties believe that the commercial agreement will be transformational for Satago and has the potential to deliver significant equity value uplift for Satago. TruFin has agreed to vary the terms of an existing £3 million loan to Satago so that it is convertible into equity capital in Satago at the same valuation as the LBG investment or, if a further funding round takes place, the valuation implied by the funding round. Assuming conversion based on the £20 million valuation (and assuming LBG does not subscribe for its pro rata entitlement to shares), TruFin would hold approximately 68% of Satago (on a fully diluted basis). In addition, the Company is delighted to announce Ben Stephenson will be appointed to the Board of Satago. Ben is Managing Director and Head of Specialist Client Solutions at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking and is responsible for the teams who provide SMEs with Invoice Finance, Trade, Payments, Asset Finance and Merchant Services solutions.  He sits on the Executive Committee of the LBG's SME and Mid Corporates Business and is a member of the UK Finance IF&ABL Product Board. As Satago rolls out its best-in-class platform to a growing pipeline of leading finance providers, the Board believes there are multiple value accretive developments to follow.

Does your business need more cash? Do you need money to invest in equipment? Or perhaps just some help with your working capital? Chris Martin can help you. He shares with us how businesses can benefit from his services as an intermediary with lenders. Origin Finance is Chris Martin's company and they supply business finance solutions. They are based near Northampton. What is business finance? http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Chris-Martin-What-is-Business-Finance.mp4 The primary target for Origin Finance is to fund businesses through periods of growth. Do you fill the gap that Banks leave? http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Chris-Martin-Do-you-fill-the-banks-gap.mp4 Are Small Enterprises Always a Good Risk? Nope. Chris told us his first priority is to protect his lenders' money. Secondly, he gets the required funding into the businesses that need it. At the moment, as a result of the artificially high levels of Government money. There is a high level of fraud out there. So, Origin Finance spend time weeding out the potential fraudsters. Moreover, Chris thinks the increased level of fraudulent activity has meant Banks are even more likely to reject loan applications. What's surprising, is Banks don't have the systems to weed out these fraudsters, so they say no to just about everybody. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Chris-Martin-Approach-to-lending-different.mp4 What Sort of Things Could I ask For Financing For? As per usual, Kevin asked another great question... Anything but property. That's because there are better people who can help with property.

Opening this Business Finance Bulletin, after being the key source of finance for 12 months the final figures are out for the Bounce Back Loans and CBILS schemes. The figures reveal the extent of finance taken on by businesses and now it is payback time. For start ups and smaller businesses getting on the ladder to build a credit score can be difficult, but a new service announced by Tide Bank will ease this problem. Tide's Credit Builder is designed to help smaller businesses create a credit footprint thereby making future access to finance easier. To close, we review the latest figures from the Finance and Leasing Association which reveals a significant return to usage of asset finance facilities such as leasing and HP. This is a good sign of the continuing return of confidence among businesses.

Its not often we have come across someone who was a former credit analyst (assessor) who took a leap of faith to the broker side. In this Podcast, we chat with Joel Dieu about what prompted his move from SA to VIC - it was for love. Why he eventually came to realise that his career needed a little reset after working for some of the biggest lenders in Asset Finance. His move to become a Broker. His overwhelming deep aspiration to be more involved with helping customers; the enjoyment of the whole process: the sheer amount of labour it takes to get to finalisation of a loan application. Joel believes there's a happy middle ground where you have the freedom to work in your own time and on your own terms but also try not to get caught up in your own vision and ego. Get your ears around this fascinating podcast episode for some practical wisdom from Joel. Check out his work over here: https://www.dreamcatcherfinance.com/about-us
