Commercial finance consultancy, ABL Business, has partnered with equity finance specialist, Focused for Business, to help growing companies raise equity
investment.
The partnership comes as ABL Business, based in Cleckheaton, chases ambitious growth plans and aims to reach £6 million turnover by 2025.
The company which recently launched regional offices in the north east and south west of England as well as Scotland - aims to open a further 12 locations across the UK in the next three years.
ABL Business joint managing director Alex Beardlsey, said:
“We’ve helped businesses secure more than £90,000,000 in debt finance over the last three years and have seen increasing numbers of clients looking to raise investment, but not really knowing how or where to start.
“Our partnership with Focused for Business exists to help start-up, scale-up and growing businesses understand how they can use debt and equity finance alongside each other to grow – while giving them the hands-on support they need to access both.”
