ThinCats is a leading alternative finance provider dedicated to funding growing and ambitious SMEs.

The ambitions of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) have been severely constrained by the banks - this needed to change. Liberated from ivory tower thinking, inefficiency and high overheads, ThinCats provides a focused, responsive and accountable service, enabling UK businesses to seize opportunities, grow revenues and expand into new areas.

Filling the gap created by the banks’ inability to service much of the commercial finance market, we specialise in senior secured loan facilities up to £15m.

We combine strong institutional backing with access to diverse pools of funding and have more than £1bn of committed capital to lend against assets and cashflows. Our through-the-lifecycle funding experience enables us to fund a variety of scenarios; from organic growth to acquisitions, management buy outs and buy ins, refinancing and restructures.

Our clients have told us that the combination of our pioneering data-driven modelling, personal approach and pragmatic credit process set ThinCats apart. These elements come together to ensure that we maximise liquidity and create certainty in every transaction, helping clients to achieve their ambitions.
