The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Not too far away
A strong global economy, but uncertainty lies ahead.
Across the pondOur back yard

What about Brexit?
Political and economic uncertainty
What we have seen so far
 £ weakened against $ and €;
 Some real estate has declined in value;
 UK downgraded by several credit agencies;
 Disruption in the ability of UK banks to access funding.
What could happen
 Slow growth in UK;
 Imported goods more expensive;
 UK may create its own path in regulation of
domestic financial services;
 Significant uncertainty.
What does it mean for Alternative Finance?
 Banks still retreating from financing SMEs, more opportunities for borrowers;
 Short term funding opportunities more attractively priced;
 Lack of investment opportunities elsewhere makes alternative finance more
attractive for funders.

customer base;
 Sancus provided a £1.5m loan, amortising over 3 years which unlocked delivery of the trapped extra revenue and
enabled Simulity to continue on its growth trajectory;
 A further tranche of £500k has been provided to assist in the development of the new eUICC suite of products
(embedded SIM), repayment of which has been structured over the remaining term of the original loan;
 Since Sancus’s involvement, the business has increased revenues by 100%.
