Leumi ABL: Adapting To Change

Throughout 2015 we saw a trend of continuing growth in business confidence
with a record period of low inflation and low interest rates. Could 2016 be the year
when this trend changes…?

Looking back over another successful year, it’s pleasing to report that Leumi ABL has grown our
client numbers and the size of our lending book. Our ability to offer a full asset based lending
proposition has helped to differentiate the Leumi brand in an increasingly competitive market
Phil Woodward and in 2015 we expanded our product range with the extension of term loans and the introduction
of trade finance. Indeed some of the deals featured in this Review have benefited from this wider
product offering.

Working closely with our business introducers across the regions, we have extended our service
offering with the expansion of our Northern office (more about this later). Leumi ABL’s reputation
is very much based on our personal and flexible service and we are thrilled to be able to offer the
same client focus to our Northern clients and introducers by having a growing presence in the region.

The market continues to evolve and we have seen more M&A activity, both with new clients and also
existing clients acquiring businesses. Leumi ABL has expertise in M&A transactions of all sizes,
be they corporate or with PE, and we are happy to assist clients old and new to seize opportunities.

Building on our successful growth in 2015, we look forward to continuing to work with you
and your clients in this New Year.

Northern Expansion

Ever since Leumi ABL commenced trading in 2006 we have shown commitment to providing
our services to established and growing businesses in the North of England.
Over the years our client portfolio has enjoyed strong growth and by December 2013 42% of our
clients were based in the Midlands and further north. We recognised that in order to continue to
provide the quality of service our clients had become accustomed to and to be able to improve
upon it, a local presence would be required.
Alan Couzins In 2013 we decided to open a Northern regional office within the Manchester city centre area
Operations Director in order to have a definite presence within the thriving business community across the North.
acouzins@leumiabl.co.uk This has helped us to grow the profile of the Leumi ABL brand locally and support our new business
introductory sources, such as accountants and lawyers.

In early 2016 we will be moving out of our initial office in Peter House so that we can accommodate
our future plans. We will be increasing the space four fold by taking up ground floor offices in the well
renowned Oxford Court Courtyard development.
We look forward to continuing to support our clients and introducers in the North in 2016 and beyond.
