Stance Asset Finance Completes £168,000 Facility Supporting Expansion of Environmental Services Business

29 April 2026

Stance Asset Finance, the new asset finance brand from United Trust Bank, has completed a £168,000 hard asset finance facility to support the growth of a Nottinghamshire-based environmental services business, funding the acquisition of a new specialist road sweeper.

The deal was introduced to Stance Broker Development Manager Alex Fowler by Elliot Caunt of Alpha Asset Finance. Elliott worked closely with the Stance team who delivered a smooth and responsive process from initial enquiry through to payout.

The client required a tailored facility to expand its fleet while preserving working capital and maintaining operational momentum. Stance structured a bespoke asset-backed lending solution enabling the immediate purchase of the vehicle, which is critical to the business’s day-to-day operations and service delivery.

The funding also enables the business to spread costs over a sustainable term, protecting cash flow and strengthening its long-term growth prospects within Nottinghamshire’s environmental services sector.

The transaction is another example of a successful deal for Stance Asset Finance following its soft launch to a limited panel of ‘Founders Club’ broker partners. The new brand is already demonstrating its ability to deliver fast, flexible, and broker-led funding solutions with competitive rates and terms. Stance intends to widen its panel further by welcoming new brokers on board ahead of a full launch later this year.

Elliott Caunt of Alpha Asset Finance, commented:

“Working with Stance and Alex Fowler was seamless from start to finish. They immediately understood the asset requirement and delivered a funding solution that enabled fleet growth without putting pressure on cash flow. Fast, clear, and genuinely supportive throughout.”

Alex Fowler of Stance Asset Finance, added:

“I know the high standards Elliott and the team at Alpha Asset Finance set for their clients, so speed and execution were critical. Alpha is a growing British business supporting other great UK SMEs, and I’m pleased Stance could play a part in helping them and their customers keep moving forward.”
