ThinCats to be acquired by Shawbrook Group

We are pleased to announce that Shawbrook Group has agreed to acquire ThinCats.  

This is an exciting next step in our growth journey and testament to the strong market position and proposition we have built. 

ThinCats will continue to operate as a separate brand with independent teams, and we will maintain our distinct proposition for owner-managed and sponsor-backed businesses. This will enable us to continue providing bespoke funding for established growth-focused businesses, for which we have built a strong track record. 

Importantly, contacts and service levels will remain the same. Over time, we expect to be able introduce even more lending opportunities to help support SMEs meet their growth ambitions.  

This change of ownership will make us stronger, expand our capabilities, and allow us to provide even more for both advisers and borrowers; while maintaining our speed and flexibility, along with the high standards of service and relationships you know us for. 

We’re excited about this next chapter and the opportunities it brings, as we align with a well-respected organisation that shares our values and commitment to the adviser and business community. 

 Underpinned by the significant technology, data and capital resources of the wider Shawbrook Group, ThinCats will continue to offer the high levels of coverage, innovation, service, and ongoing borrower relationships that business owners, professional advisers and financial sponsors have come to expect.”
