“I have over 15 years’ experience dealing with factoring companies, and Secure Trust Bank is the only one that approaches you with a commercial mindset. The fact that they think like business owners not only gives you confidence that they are going to find you the right deal, but also provides the knowledge that they understand the pressures of your business.

Matthew White, regional sales director at Secure Trust Bank Commercial Finance, said: “Recruitment as a sector is one reliant on alternative funding solutions to aid with working capital, particularly when considering the costs of covering up to 200 agency staff. As a result, finding the right financial partner is key, as businesses in this sector need the security of knowing that their facility can adapt to their growth levels.
