1pm PLC's (LON:OPM) Ian Smith tells Proactive London's Andrew Scott they're a non-bank specialist finance provider.
''We deliberately set our stall out to provide all of the core finance products that we believe SMEs require including asset finance, vehicles, loans and invoice finance and are very much focused on business lending to the smaller firms in the UK''.
''Another important point is we're also a broker - we lend on our own balance sheet but also broker business onto other funders''.
''Over the last few years we've expanded through a buy and build policy of different financing products which is spread across many different UK business sectors and that is standing us in good stead during this particular crisis'', he says.
