Almost one in three UK SMEs say the cost of finance is holding back their growth in 2025. Rising borrowing costs, tough credit conditions, and persistent late payments are leaving many businesses searching for more flexible and innovative funding options. 

That’s why the new UK Invoice Finance and ABL Summit (UKIF26), hosted by BCR and in partnership with UK Finance, comes at such a pivotal moment. The Summit will tackle the SME funding gap head-on, exploring how invoice finance and asset-based lending can step up to deliver more value, scale, and resilience for the sector. 

UKIF26 will highlight how receivables financiers are: 

  • Leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI and data-driven risk tools.
  • Navigating government initiatives and evolving regulation.
  • Developing strategies to counter late payment practices and credit risk.
  • Creating new ways to attract clients and increase engagement from existing users.
  • The central question: is this enough to accelerate market growth, or does the sector need to go further? 

For banks, independents, fintechs, and all professionals engaged in the UK invoice finance ecosystem, UKIF26 is an unmissable opportunity. Attendees will gain fresh insight into an industry whose business model is evolving rapidly, and unlock new avenues for growth. 

Beyond the content, the summit provides exceptional networking and deal-making opportunities, with real-life case studies and solution-sharing from industry leaders.
