Shawbrook Bank has provided a revolving credit facility to 4Syte Structured Finance, a Chelmsford-based lending institution and part of the 4Syte Group of companies, to support the growth of its secured SME loan portfolio.

The wider 4Syte Group was founded in 2016 and is a secured SME lender, covering a range of services including Invoice Finance, Debt Sale, Construction Finance, Trade-Finance and Structured Finance. The 4Syte Group supports businesses with various solutions covering the funding requirements for working capital, cashflow, business expansion and debt consolidation.
