Perch Group secures two new credit lines for £90 million

Perch Group, one of the leading debt buyers and servicers in the UK, has successfully completed two financing operations totaling £90 million aimed at an ambitious growth project.

The support of financial partners and their endorsement confirms the significant progress since the buy-out.

Perch Group operates throughout the credit cycle through Perch Capital, which acquires the debts, the debt collection agency ACI UK, and the legal firm TM Legal. Furthermore, it recently launched a new service company, Verify.

In the last year, Perch Group has seen a 38% increase in the Gross Book Value (GBV) acquired.
