2017 was a fantastic year for us, growing from strength to strength in all aspects of the business.

The highlights below provide an overview of our achievements in 2017 and our new website will keep you up to date on our news and industry developments as we continue on our growth trajectory.

We are delighted to report that 2018 has got off to a great start. ABL services are continuing to flourish, fuelled in no small way by an active Private Equity market. Our property proposition is thriving, dovetailing perfectly as it does into our market leading ABL and insolvency propositions.

The ABL sector continues to go from strength to strength with big structured deals ever on the rise. We are seeing a big uptick on working capital provision through revolving facilities and the valuation of inventory is proving a major driver in 2018.

Furthermore, SIA is increasingly conducting internal audits of ABLs as part of the due diligence of back to back arrangements, providing third party verification of compliance to processes and procedures.

SIA is leading the way by continuing to build on its reputation by combining speed, flexibility and accuracy with an innovative, client-centric approach, attributes that are crucial to delivering successful outcomes.

Thank you very much for supporting us in 2017.

Rest assured, we are bringing the leadership that delivers the numbers again in 2018.
