Alfa Start for European Asset Finance allows auto and equipment finance operators to conduct a quick and cost-effective implementation of Alfa Systems, Alfa's flagship platform for originations, contract servicing, collections management and more. It draws on predefined best-practice configuration and processes, perfected over Alfa's considerable experience supporting top brands around the continent.
Since launching in 2020, Alfa Start's rapid implementation methodology has found success in the UK with progressive finance providers and challenger banks such as HTB, United Trust Bank, Arkle Finance, Bibby Financial Services and most recently Paragon Bank. Alfa Start has also provided critical value as a project accelerator to a string of notable auto and equipment lenders in the US.
With the new solution, Alfa brings its industry expertise and experience in fast implementations to operations throughout Europe.
Emily Hammond, Alfa's Director of Product, said: 'Alfa Start is for banks, captives and independents who want to be lean and invest pragmatically in a system that comes preloaded with a distilled best-practice setup, rather than recreating their existing processes and configuration from scratch. But there's still plenty of room to weave in your own DNA, and hold on to that differentiating factor.
'As we've done successfully in the UK and US, this new flavour of Alfa Start brings the power of Alfa Systems to a wider range of providers, offering an essential project accelerator that reduces cost and helps you gain a competitive edge.'
Richard Olver, COO of Bibby Financial Services said: 'A lot of providers have a need to modernise their tech stack, and look at improving their businesses, and Alfa Systems is the industry gold standard. With Alfa Start we've been able to implement Alfa Systems rapidly and cost-effectively. Thanks to the automation now available, our teams spend more time delivering value for our clients and business partners.'
Alfa Start for European Asset Finance provides local languages and currencies, accounting standards and built-in bank reports; as well as integrations for e-signature, single sign-on, SEPA payments and more; and eliminates infrastructure overheads through proactively managed, single-tenant SaaS

I bought an abandoned house with no electric for 75p – I've funded renovations by sharing my DIY online
A YOUNG woman has revealed how she transformed an abandoned house and got paid for it in the process. Tia Weston bought the abandoned property for just 75p and quickly got to work with her dad to turn it into her dream home. 3 3 Taking to YouTube, Tia said: "I'm taking you through the full start to finish process of turning this abandoned house into my dream home. "It had no heat, no water, no electricity and it was used for storage for over 30 years. "It was in such bad shape that at one point it was going to be given to the fire department to be burnt down." She said that in total it cost her £29,000 to renovate the property. While some of the money came from selling her previous home, some of the cash came from sharing the renovation journey online. Through posting the transformation on YouTube she was able to get revenue from advertisements to help fund the cost. Tia and her dad had their work cut out for them, some of the wood on the roof had gone rotten and the flooring was also affected. She also had to pay to get the entire house to have electricity running through it as well as new windows because the house was so old. New plumbing also had to be fitted into the house so that Tia could renovate the bathroom. After the basics were done, Tia moved on to clearing the house out and redecorating the space. 3 Mrs Hinch raves about £2 Home Bargains buy that 'adds charm to your garden' & a £10 product that's 'cheaper than Amazon' The house had been left in disarray and used to store wood and old furniture. But she managed to transform it into a colourful modern space for herself. Inside the house, she used a light, pine wood for the floors, doors and finishes to add some much needed light into the home. She used pastel colours throughout to make it more homely as well. Home upgrades that add the most value to a house The best renovation to add value totally depends on your property, the local market and your potential buyers. Zoopla shared a list of upgrades that will instantly add value to your home. Loft conversion - increase of 15% Off-street parking - adds £50,000 to property price New kitchen - increase of 15% Garage conversion - increase of 15% Cellar or basement conversion - increase of 10-15% Open plan living space - increase of 3-5% New bathroom - increase of 3-5% The transformation had left people stunned and they were quick to praise Tia and her dad for their hard work. One person wrote: "The coolest part is that you did this all with your dad. You will always hold this memory in your heart." Another commented: 'I am a 61-year-old lifetime remodeler. You did a GREAT job young lady!" "Well done. You've done an amazing job," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I wish more people would renovate instead of tearing down older houses. You all did such a great job!" Someone else added: 'The contrast between where you started and where you ended up is insane! Your hard work has really paid off."
