Arkle Finance

Arkle Finance was incorporated in 1997 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Weatherbys Bank. Weatherbys is a family-owned financial-services group whose business history dates back to 1770, with roots in British horseracing and later expansion into banking and asset finance.

Arkle provides asset finance and leasing for equipment, vehicles and other business assets, serving both companies and private individuals. Its core products include finance leases and hire purchase, alongside secured marine and aviation mortgages and funding available through the British Business Bank’s Growth Guarantee Scheme.

The firm is especially focused on tailored lending for small and medium-sized businesses, with specialist activity in areas such as renewable energy, marine, aviation, leisure and prestige vehicles. Its business-finance offering covers advances from £15,000 to £500,000, while the group says Arkle supports more than 10,000 customers across the UK.
