Optio is pleased to announce it is now underwriting transactions with enterprise values up to GBP/EUR 250m (previously limited to GBP/EUR 120m). As one of the market’s leading specialist SME underwriters, the increase will allow Optio to better service clients on some of the larger transactions within the small to mid-market (such as buy-and-build exits), whilst remaining committed to those transactions that it has always underwritten.

Alex Smith, Optio’s Head of Transactional Liability said:

“Whether a transaction’s enterprise value is £5m, £25m or £250m, all transactions matter to us at Optio and, with our wealth of experience across jurisdictions and sectors, we are excited to build on our innovative and first-class service across the SME space.”
