Refteck Solutions is rapidly expanding its global presence, now operating across the UK, USA, Germany, India, Latin America, and newly entered high-growth markets in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. In 2025, we launched a fully customised ERP-enabled platform that streamlines sourcing, logistics, documentation, warehousing and supplier management into one intelligent system. This upgrade is driving major efficiency gains and opening new market opportunities. With strong momentum and a scalable digital backbone, Refteck is projecting 30% growth in 2026.

Refteck is now evolving from an integrated ERP-led operation to a fully AI-first model, transforming procurement performance. Automated RFQs, predictive pricing, supplier scoring and real-time spend intelligence significantly reduce manual delays and errors while accelerating decision-making. This fusion of AI and ERP creates a highly scalable, consistent and cost-efficient system that strengthens global expansion. For clients, it unlocks unmatched visibility and control across complex MRO and engineered-spares supply chains—positioning Refteck as a next-generation leader in industrial procurement.
✔
Refteck’s key differentiator is its uncompromising governance, compliance and responsible operations. Every supplier and transaction undergoes strict validation, sanctions checks, technical vetting and export-compliance oversight, ensuring safety, transparency and audit readiness across global supply chains. ISO 9001 certified and progressing through ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 audits, Refteck reinforces quality, sustainability and data integrity. Supported by a growing ESG programme, the company provides clients with trust and confidence—even in high-risk markets—cementing a strong competitive advantage.

Inflation Risk:
The business is not materially affected by inflation.
Due to potential for losses, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) considers this
investment to be high risk.
What are the key risks?
You could lose the money you invest
Many peer-to-peer (P2P) loans are made to borrowers who can't borrow money from traditional
lenders such as banks. These borrowers have a higher risk of not paying you back.
Advertised rates of return aren't guaranteed. If a borrower doesn't pay you back as agreed, you
could earn less money than expected. A higher advertised rate of return means a higher risk of
losing your money.
These investments can be held in an Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA). An IFISA does not reduce
the risk of the investment or protect you from losses, so you can still lose all your money. It
only means that any potential gains from your investment will be tax free.
You are unlikely to get your money back quickly
Some P2P loans last for several years. You should be prepared to wait for your money to be
returned even if the borrower repays on time.
Some platforms may give you the opportunity to sell your investment early through a 'secondary
market', but there is no guarantee you will be able to find someone willing to buy.
Even if your agreement is advertised as affording early access to your money, you will only get
your money early if someone else wants to buy your loan(s). If no one wants to buy, it could take
longer to get your money back.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Putting all your money into a single business or type of investment for example, is risky.
Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do
well.
A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk-investments.
The P2P platform could fail
If the platform fails, it may be impossible for you to collect money on your loan. It could
take years to get your money back, or you may not get it back at all. Even if the platform has
plans in place to prevent this, they may not work in a disorderly failure.
You are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in relation to claims against failed
regulated firms, does not cover investments in P2P loans. You may be able to claim if you
received regulated advice to invest in P2P, and the adviser has since failed. Try the FSCS
investment protection checker here.
Protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) does not cover poor investment performance.
If you have a complaint against an FCA-regulated platform, FOS may be able to consider it. Learn
more about FOS protection here.
