ScotPac Partners with UBS to Boost SME Funding Capacity

The collaboration with UBS enhances ScotPac's scale and funding diversity, improving overall capital efficiency. Jon Sutton, CEO of ScotPac, emphasized the significance of this development: "The new warehouse facility with UBS underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative financing solutions to our clients. It also further enhances the scale and diversity of our funding capacity and improves our overall capital efficiency."

This facility will support ScotPac's recently launched Asset-Based Finance solution, designed to provide SMEs and mid-tier corporate businesses with flexible working capital. The Asset-Based Finance offering allows businesses to secure revolving working capital facilities against various asset classes, including trade receivables, inventory, property, plant, and equipment. This structure provides ongoing access to liquidity, enabling businesses to manage cash flow effectively, fund expansion initiatives, and respond to new opportunities.

The partnership with UBS reflects the confidence that leading global financial institutions have in ScotPac's business and operating model. By securing this facility, ScotPac is well-positioned to accelerate the delivery of innovative financing solutions tailored to the unique needs of Australian SMEs.

For SMEs, this development offers enhanced access to flexible and diverse funding options. The ability to leverage a broader range of assets for financing purposes can be particularly beneficial in navigating the challenges of the current economic environment. As businesses seek to invest in growth and productivity, partnerships like that between ScotPac and UBS play a crucial role in providing the necessary financial support.
