 PROFILE
Cattles offers a herd of financial services to the UK's subprime loan market. Its Shopacheck subsidiary makes small (about £150), short-term loans at steep interest rates to consumers who don't qualify for bank loans, then collects weekly payments at the borrowers' homes. Welcome Financial Services makes larger loans to subprime borrowers, collecting repayments monthly. Through independent retail stores, Cattles' Welcome Retail Services extends rent-to-own credit for larger purchases. The firm also offers commercial loans and leases to small businesses unable to get funding from traditional financial institutions.
