Novuna head of retail Brian Flesk said: “We’re delighted to be working with Homebase as one of our new retail partners. The flexible finance options will mean its customers can spread the cost of their new dream kitchen, bathroom or bedroom.
“Through our partnership, Homebase will benefit from our unique package of smart, bespoke credit offerings with numerous tailoring options which allows them to create the right finance option for each individual customer in-store to help them improve or transform their homes.”
The news comes after Homebase predicted a strong summer after it hit record sales since Easter 2022 over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The DIY retailer has bounced back from administration after being bought by Hilco Capital in June 2018 for just £1. Homebase is now planning to open 15 new stores over the next few years.
