Alternative Finance provider in head to head race with mainstream lenders for Small Business Awards.

The Alternative Finance providers are set to make their mark at the forthcoming British Small Business Awards, with Boost Capital, amongst others, shortlisted alongside the likes of Barclays and Bibby Finance in the Finance Provider of the Year category.

Celebrating a record year of lending to small businesses, with over 100% growth, unsecured lender Boost Capital is making its mark in supporting most business types with loan and cashflow funding, and particularly the leisure, retail and hospitality sectors.

Alex Littner, Managing Director of Boost Capital commented, "The shortlist for the Awards is a real demonstration that the alternative finance providers are playing an increasingly important role in lending to small businesses. Not only is the finance becoming more competitively priced, with terms aligning more and more with traditional lenders, but the speed of our decisions much faster. At Boost, we look to be able to have new loan monies into the borrowing businesses' bank accounts within 48 hours of their application, which makes a huge difference to their cashflow and investment plans. We are keeping our fingers firmly crossed for the awards night, and hope that the judges are as impressed as our customers in how we are supporting business growth"
