ThinCats announced record lending of £381 million to UK businesses for the year ending 30 June 2025, a small increase from £378 million. This success is notable amid economic challenges, including rising business taxes and global tariffs. The company has established itself as the UK's top debt provider for mergers and acquisitions. Notably, lending to owner-managed businesses has surged, and the transactional capital facility has seen increased usage. Since its inception, ThinCats has lent over £2 billion, currently managing nearly £1 billion in assets.
The lender's robust performance is particularly notable given the turbulent backdrop of rising business taxes, persistent global tariffs, and slower-than-expected base rate cuts.
It's been a hugely challenging year for UK companies. At home and abroad, we have seen enormous challenges, but adversity can often lead to opportunity.
Despite market uncertainty, sentiment is improving and we are already seeing increased activity and more deals in the pipeline.
Lending to owner-managed businesses has risen sharply, particularly in the wake of last autumn's Budget.
