Bibby Financial Services yesterday announced a significant 40 per cent growth in its debtor financing books over the last 12 months.
Managing director Greg Charlwood said the company has experienced the surge off the back of tougher lending conditions over the last year. SMEs were struggling to secure funding from traditional institutions, he said.
