Tailored growth finance solution 🔑 As Opus Utility Solutions continues to scale, the established business wanted a finance partner capable of supporting its long-term ambitions with a flexible, bespoke approach. Working closely with the management team, Allica Bank delivered a tailored package that gives Opus the flexibility to continue investing in its people, operations and ability to deliver as the business grows. Thomas Walsh, Managing Director, said: “Securing the right funding partner was an important milestone for our business, and working with Allica Bank made the process straightforward from start to finish. They took the time to understand our business, our sector and, most importantly, our long-term growth ambitions. We chose Allica because of their commercial understanding, responsiveness, and willingness to structure a funding solution that aligned with our plans. What stood out most was the quality of the people we dealt with – the professionalism, accessibility and collaborative approach gave us confidence throughout the process, and we look forward to building a long-term relationship together as our business continues to grow." #growthfinance #businessbanking

Some established businesses need funding before they meet the criteria for a traditional term loan. That's exactly where bridge-to-term comes in 🤝   With a single facility and a clear path to a long-term commercial mortgage from day one, there's no second application. Just one lender and one seamless process from start to finish – meaning less admin for brokers and a clearer route to long-term finance for their clients.   There are two solutions available: 📍‘The Stabiliser’: for established businesses working towards term mortgage criteria. Borrow £250,000 to £5 million*, with up to 70% LTV from day one. 📍‘The Improver’: for refurbishments and value-add projects, including energy efficiency improvements. Borrow £500,000 to £5 million*, with 65% LTV from day one. It’s an approach that was recognised at the 2025 NACFB Commercial Lender Awards, where Allica Bank was named “Pioneers of the Year” for our bridge-to-term innovation.   Whether your client is looking to complete a refurbishment or simply needs a pathway to a long-term commercial mortgage, we've got a route to match their goals.   For full product details, reach out to your business development manager.   *All applications are subject to status and lending criteria. Eligibility criteria and terms and conditions apply.

You've probably seen a blue plaque celebrating someone famous. But what about the businesses that have made their mark on our towns and communities?   The family-run manufacturers. The local employers who've been around for decades. The businesses that generations have relied on.   They might not be household names, but they've helped shape the places we know and love.   That's why we're launching our very own ‘Orange Hat Plaques’. 🧡   Our take on the famous blue plaques, celebrating established businesses for everything they bring to their communities.   Because we think their contribution deserves to be recognised.   Every plaque has a story behind it, and we'll be sharing them over the coming weeks.   Keep an eye out. There might be one coming to a business near you. 🎩   #orangehatplaques #establishedbusinesses
