Stance Asset Finance has completed a £128,000 facility for a Suffolk transport business to support the purchase of a horsebox and expand its fleet.
The deal was introduced by Archie Hall of Hall Asset Finance, a member of the Stance Asset Finance Founder’s Club, which is helping the lender test and refine its processes ahead of a wider roll-out later in 2026.
According to Stance, the client had faced difficult trading conditions in recent years and had recorded consecutive losses. Hall approached the lender on the basis that its broader underwriting approach and more flexible criteria could provide a funding solution.
Stance said it structured a bespoke asset-backed package to fund the purchase, allowing the business to spread costs over time while preserving cash reserves and putting the vehicle into service immediately.
The lender said the additional horsebox will help the operator increase service capacity, improve efficiency and respond to rising customer demand.
Hall said: “Working with Alex and the Stance team was seamless from start to finish. They quickly understood the asset requirement and delivered a finance solution that allowed our customer to expand their fleet without placing unnecessary pressure on their cash flow.
“The process was fast, transparent, and genuinely supportive.”
Alex Fowler (pictured), broker development manager at Stance Asset Finance, says: “I know the high standards that Archie and Hall Asset Finance have when it comes to serving their clients, so I knew full well how important it was to turn this deal around quickly.
“This is the type of customer and transaction Stance was created to support, with a broader credit appetite and flexible, asset backed underwriting.
“I am delighted we could support Archie and this business, giving them the opportunity to grow and become successful in the future.”
