S&P rates Amigo notes B+

S&P said it assigned a B+ long-term counterparty credit rating to Amigo Loans Ltd.

The agency also said it assigned a B+ rating and 3 recovery rating to the proposed senior secured notes to be issued by Amigo Luxembourg SA, which are guaranteed by Amigo.

The 3 recovery rating indicates 50% to 70% expected default recovery.

The outlook is stable.

The agency said it views Amigo as the clear leader in the U.K. guarantor lending market, which is a relatively new niche sector for the non-standard lending industry.

The ratings reflect the company’s weak business risk profile and highly leveraged financial risk profile, S&P said.

The agency said, however, that Amigo's business profile is more stable than its peers.
