The business provides commercial finance and credit insurance brokerage, outsourced risk and receivables audit, as well as credit management and commercial debt collection services. Established in 1997, Hilton-Baird’s clients include independent lenders, banks, SME and corporate businesses as well as insolvency practitioners. The deal will generate significant additional value across FRP’s Corporate Finance, Restructuring and Financial Advisory practices.

Geoff Rowley, CEO at FRP, said: “I have worked with Alex and the team for over 15 years and know they share our values. Their reputation in the market is for hard work, honesty and integrity in providing the highest level of service to clients. “With a track record of over 25 years, they have built an impressive client base which is testament to the quality of their team and dynamic business model.
