Chief executive officer at Startline Motor Finance Paul Burgess said the rise was prompted by the company’s approach, as it often looks closely at "applicants others might reject."
Burgess explained: "As a service-led lender, we tend to be more agile and dynamic than most, with customer service and underwriting teams that have a higher degree of independence than at most large finance businesses.
"This means that we are set up to look closely at applications that others may have had automatically rejected by their online systems."
As part of the increase in business being assessed, Startline said it is also planning to expand its staffing levels over the coming months.
