Key Sectors in Manchester
Technology and Digital
Manchester's MediaCityUK and Spinningfields have established the city as one of the UK's leading tech and creative hubs. Tech businesses, particularly those with recurring subscription revenue or B2B contracts, are well served by revolving credit facilities, invoice finance, and growth capital loans.
Financial and Professional Services
Law firms, accountancy practices, financial services businesses, and management consultancies in the city centre frequently need working capital to manage the gap between completing engagements and receiving payment. Invoice finance and revolving credit are the most common products for professional services businesses.
Manufacturing in Greater Manchester
Salford, Trafford, Wigan, Bolton, and Oldham all have significant manufacturing presences. Asset finance for plant, machinery, and commercial vehicles, combined with invoice finance for businesses supplying large customers, is the standard finance mix for Greater Manchester manufacturers.
Hospitality and Leisure
Manchester's vibrant hospitality sector, bars, restaurants, hotels, and event venues, is well served by merchant cash advances and seasonal working capital finance. The Northern Quarter, Ancoats, and city centre restaurant scene represents a significant MCA lending opportunity.
