Reflecting on 2024 and Looking Ahead to 2025

As we approach the festive season, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the year gone by and look forward to what’s ahead. 2024 marked a significant milestone for FTA Finance, as we celebrated our 20th anniversary. Over the past two decades, we’ve proudly supported nearly 3,000 clients in achieving their dreams of business ownership.

This year has been particularly busy for our team, with 256 funding proposals submitted to our panel of lenders. We’re thrilled to report that 96% of these were approved, with the majority coming from first-time buyers looking to acquire established practices or start new businesses. This success reaffirms our position as champions of the first-time buyer.

Looking ahead to 2025, the outlook is notably more stable. With the new government in place, the long-awaited budget delivered, and trends in both inflation and base rates continuing to decline, there is a sense of confidence in the market. This stability will support our clients in their decision-making process, whether they are considering buying or selling. It will also be well-received by our panel of lenders, who remain committed to evaluating new funding applications.

If you’re thinking of taking the leap into practice ownership in 2025, now is the perfect time to get in touch with the FTA Finance team. You can reach us at 0330 088 1157, via WhatsApp at 07351 565105, or by email at [email protected].
