Rivers Leasing, an independent asset finance funder, and LTi Technology Solutions, a lease, loan and asset finance software solutions provider, formed a partnership which provides small lenders with a platform that enables them to book deals and scale their businesses effectively.

LTi announced the partnership as part of the launch of ASPIRE Express, a pre-configured servicing platform for startup organizations that will allow ease of block funding management from Rivers Leasing. This secure software-as-a-service solution provides the ability to book and service lease and loan contracts quickly with a low cost of entry. The partnership between LTi and Rivers Leasing will allow clients to begin booking deals using the dedicated platform within 45 days of implementation and businesses can scale as they grow without re-platforming.

Rivers Leasing specializes in providing lease and asset finance to businesses and organizations in all industry sectors, concentrating on lease values between £2,000 ($2,677.09) and £75,000 ($100,390.87). In 2022, the company expanded its scope by introducing an incubator block discounting service designed to support small, new and existing lenders by providing financing facilities of up to £250,000 ($334,636.25).

“We have found LTi to be the best partner for us and our clients,” Ratan Daryani, chairman of Rivers Finance Group said. “Their platform allows for fast implementation at a reasonable cost, both of which are critically important for small lenders to start booking business and ensuring profitability along with necessary reporting capabilities.”

“We are very excited to offer this preconfigured solution that will allow Rivers’ clients to originate broker and own-book deals,” Robert Taylor, UK country director at LTi said. “ASPIRE Express will be a game changer for these organizations that need to grow but also be cost conscious. We provide this solution with no up-front fees and a low monthly payment to allow immediate ROI for these organizations.”
