Whole-book commentary

Strong week across the book: 218 applications submitted (£1,856,800), the third-best weekly volume of the financial year. Approval rate landed at 73.9%, in line with the four-week rolling average. £1.21M signed reflects steady customer follow-through; £816K paid means the cash-conversion engine continues to run.

By BDM: Sarah Chen led the week (35 apps, four renewables-heavy retailers including GreenLeaf Solar). James Whitfield and Priya Mehta both had below-average weeks — Atlas Roofing continues its multi-month decline (22 apps in April vs October peak of 89). Daniel Okafor is steady; Lucy Harkness, Tom Blackwood and Rachel Voss each have one retailer and tracked at expected volumes.

Active retailer ratio: 58 of 64 active retailers submitted at least one application this week (91%), the strongest weekly engagement of Q2. Three retailers (Stone & Slate Driveways, Forge & Stone Builders, and one suspended account) have not submitted in the past two weeks and warrant outreach.

Pipeline: approved-but-not-signed sits at £2.42M across 282 applications (avg 18 days); signed-but-not-paid is the bigger lever at £4.36M across 514 applications (avg 27 days). The pipeline filter view at the bottom of this tab lets you slice by BDM, retailer, lender or age — useful for the SMT review on Wednesday.
