Prytania's partner SME Capital and J.P. Morgan launch new funding partnership
SME Capital and J.P. Morgan are delighted to announce a new funding partnership dedicated to supporting UK SMEs.
The new collaboration will see J.P. Morgan extend a significant line of committed capital for SME cashflow lending over the next 3 years.
This forms the second phase in the development of SME Capital’s warehousing programme; the first phase being the initial commitments from current investors SCIO Capital (“SCIO”) and Prytania Asset Management (“Prytania”) in March 2021. SCIO and Prytania will continue to invest in the programme and are excited to be able to support many more UK SMEs with a range of bespoke funding packages.
Commenting on this important new relationship for the firm, Ronnie Sarkar, CEO of SME Capital, said: “At SME Capital, we take great pride in supporting owner-managed and regional businesses in taking the next step in their evolution: growth, M&A, succession planning to name but a few. We are thrilled to be able to work with such a high-calibre institution in J.P. Morgan, together with our existing investors SCIO and Prytania, to provide crucial funding to all the brilliant, local SMEs up and down the UK.
They are the ones who will collectively drive entrepreneurship, innovation, employment and growth after what has been a tough few years for everyone. I would like to thank all those involved at J.P. Morgan, our existing investors, our lawyers and advisors on the transaction and my team for their efforts in achieving this fantastic milestone.”
George Deves, Executive Director, at J.P. Morgan said:
