Time Finance plc

Time Finance plc (LON:TIME), the AIM listed independent specialist finance provider, has announced that it will be providing a scheduled trading update for the nine-month period ended 28 February 2026 on 24 March 2026, a period in which the Group has continued to see strong demand following its robust H1 25/26 performance.

Record high Lending Book

Continued demand from UK businesses for the Group’s multi-product funding offering has driven further growth in the gross lending book.

The Group’s two core areas of strategic focus, Invoice Finance and the ‘Hard’ element of Asset finance, have driven the growth in the lending book. At 28 February the Invoice Finance and ‘Hard’ Asset Finance lending books stood at £78m and £129m respectively, reflecting growth of 20% in respect of the Invoice Finance division and 22% in respect of the ‘Hard’ element of the Asset Finance division when compared to the prior year comparatives at 28 February 2025.
