Pub group Antic London secures seven-figure CBILS package London-based pub operator Antic has secured a ‘seven-figure’ CBILS funding package through alternative SME lender ThinCats. The funding package will help the group cover capex, property acquisition and working capital, according to ThinCats. “2020 brought many challenges to the hospitality sector, and Antic, like many others, has had to be nimble and reactive in order to withstand the changing restrictions,” says Dave Sherrington, regional head of sales, London at ThinCats. “The business flourished despite the restrictions imposed in the summer and the Antic teams have matched the remarkable level of resilience and adaptation shown by many; we can’t wait to see them deliver once more as the current restrictions ease.”
