MCL will operate in accordance with best practice on behalf of those lenders who do not wish to manage the process for themselves. By implementing compliant and structured debt settlement programs, MCL anticipates funders will be able to continue lending to companies strong underlying fundamentals but are currently at risk or default while their businesses recover and adapt to a post-COVID world.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Douglas Grant, Executive Director of MCL, commented: \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"As the SME debt burden continues to grow, an increasing number of vulnerable companies are liable to default on their loan obligations. It is imperative that lenders do not compound this cycle by only supporting sectors and businesses that are resilient and have been agile enough to already adapt to the new economy. The FCA's approval allows MCL to work with businesses facing problems using debt adjusting and debt counselling permissions to review and restructure exposures. We believe these permissions will assist others in ensuring that debt is managed in line with good conduct and Treating Customers Fairly principles.\"\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n For further information, please contact:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Manx Financial Group PLC\n \n \n Denham Eke, Chief Executive\n \n \n Tel +44 (0)16...
