If you are looking to work with corporates and enterprise companies then this position is not for you.

Established in 1981, we provide businesses with debt financing for specialized needs. More recently since 2010 we have focused our mission, exclusively to help SMEs grow. Spartan does this by providing finance that backs entrepreneurs.

The entrepreneurs require many forms of funding for their business to scale from Growth Finance to Specialised Asset Finance and Working Capital Finance.
