“The specialist lending sector as a whole is growing, and we are seeing an increasing number of investors exploring the flexibility specialist financing can offer.

“We are confident that the market will continue to grow even further in the months ahead.”

The figures also revealed growth in the wider consumer finance sector which where new business has increased by 10% year-on-year.
