Company Description

Cattles offers a herd of financial services to the UK's subprime market. Its primary operating unit, Welcome Finance, makes secured and unsecured personal loans ranging from £2,000 to more than £9,000 to borrowers who may have questionable credit or employment histories. Its Shopacheck unit issues smaller short-term loans (around £300) at higher interest rates, collecting weekly payments at the borrowers' homes. Cattles also finances and sells used automobiles (through Welcome Car Finance) and acquires and services consumer debt (The Lewis Group). In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the debt-laden Cattles underwent a restructuring in 2011, through which it was acquired by newly created vehicle Bovess.

    Sample Questions & Answers

    How sharply would the company be affected if it lost its main supplier?

    Most wholesalers depend highly on a few large suppliers. Because of industry consolidation in the past decade, the four largest manufacturers account for 75 percent of US production. Consequently, wholesalers have reduced power to negotiate favorable...

     

    How does the company protect itself from higher fuel costs?

    Because they distribute a heavy product with a fairly low profit margin, tire wholesalers are vulnerable to increases in fuel costs, as prices for gas or diesel can increase 50 percent within a year. If higher delivery costs are passed to customers,...

      How does the company protect itself from losses during economic downturns?

        Competitive Landscape Brief

        Demand is driven by consumer income and demographics. The profitability of individual companies depends on the correct assessment of repayment likelihood and effective collections activities. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in securing access to capital. Small companies can compete effectively by choosing favorable locations. The industry is capital-intensive: annual revenue per worker is about $400,000. The federal financial reform law passed in 2010 could create a tougher business environment for consumer finance firms. New measures in the law include restricting credit cards companies from imposing interest rate hikes and fees, limiting payday loans, and discouraging auto title loans. The law also created a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to take over consumer-protection responsibilities from other federal agencies. The sweeping regulatory reforms could fundamentally change the competitive environment of the consumer finance industry.
