Debt Elimination / Stronger Balance SheetEliminating debt in 2025 materially lowers financial risk and interest burden, increasing funding optionality. This durable balance-sheet repair gives the group flexibility to fund loan originations, maintain dividends and absorb credit losses without immediate external financing.
Revenue And Cash-flow RecoveryA sharp 2025 revenue rebound and cash-flow swing improves earnings-to-cash conversion and provides internal funding for growth. Over the medium term, stronger cash generation supports loan-book expansion, provisioning and reduces reliance on wholesale funding for core lending activities.
Specialist Secured Lending ModelFocus on motor hire-purchase and short-term asset-backed bridging loans creates durable structural advantages: secured collateral, fee-plus-interest revenue, and underwriting expertise. This niche mix tends to protect recoveries and supports repeat origination and higher margin resilience versus unsecured peers.
