Stance Asset Finance Completes £128,000 Facility Enabling Suffolk Based Transport Business to Expand

19 March 2026

Stance Asset Finance, the new asset finance brand from United Trust Bank, has completed a £128,000 facility enabling a Suffolk based transportation business to acquire a horsebox to expand their fleet and improve service capacity.

Alex Fowler, Broker Development Manager, was contacted by Archie Hall of Hall Asset Finance which is a member of the Stance Asset Finance Founder’s Club and one of a small number of brokers helping Stance to test and refine their processes and service before a full roll-out later this year. Archie’s client had battled difficult trading conditions over the last few years making consecutive losses and Archie believed that Stance’s more flexible criteria and underwriting might enable them to offer a solution to meet his customer’s needs.

Stance rapidly structured a bespoke funding package covering the purchase of the horsebox with competitive terms and minimal disruption to the business’s day-to-day operations. Utilising asset backed lending, the business was able to spread costs over a manageable period, protect cash reserves and deploy the new vehicle straight into service. The acquisition has
strengthened the company’s ability to meet rising customer demand, improved operational efficiency, and supported its long-term growth objectives within Suffolk’s busy logistics and transportation sector.

Commenting on the deal, Archie Hall at Hall Asset Finance said:

“Working with Alex and the Stance team was seamless from start to finish. They quickly understood the asset requirement and delivered a finance solution that allowed our customer to expand their fleet without placing unnecessary pressure on their cash flow. The process was fast, transparent, and genuinely supportive.”

Alex Fowler, Broker Development Manager at Stance Asset Finance, said:

“I know the high standards that Archie and Hall Asset Finance have when it comes to serving their clients, so I knew full well how important it was to turn this deal around quickly. This is the type of customer and transaction Stance was created to support, with a broader credit appetite and flexible, asset backed underwriting. I am delighted we could support Archie and this business, giving them the opportunity to grow and become successful in the future.”
