In a statement, it was SFS’s interest in smartphone financing that attracted Lease Group, who were in search of a funder capable of supporting a diverse range of equipment and meeting the needs of their efficient business model. SFS’s emerging API capabilities and smartphone financing options made them the ideal partner.
The API integration between Lease Group and SFS took just 10 weeks to complete. This collaboration created a platform that allows users to receive credit decisions typically in five seconds. Unlike many other platforms, these approvals are final, not provisional, offering greater certainty to Lease Group customers. Technology vendors using the platform also benefit from full transparency, with the ability to track orders from documentation through to payment.
Lease Group has diversified its asset financing to meet market demands, extending its offering into areas such as renewable energy, telematics, catering, and security.
Simon Fabb, Co-Founder and Group Marketing Director at Lease Group, noted that SFS’s expertise across multiple industries has been key to supporting their growth.

Their ability to offer near-instant financing approvals provides a real competitive edge in the market, as evidenced by their high approval rates.”
