The line of credit is being provided by Fortress Credit Corporation, a subsidiary of Fortress Investments, a publicly listed New York based fund manager with more than US$30 billion of equity funds under management. "Instant Finance sees the availability of this facility principally as a resource to enable expansion by way of acquisition," Instant Finance chief executive Richard de Lautour says.

"We are aware of the potential for consolidation in the industry and this agreement will allow us to continue to pursue any quality opportunities that may present themselves'.
