Optimum Finance increase funding capability by 25%

Invoice finance provider, Optimum Finance, has increased its funding capability by 25%.

The increase in funding capability will allow the firm to extend higher value facilities based on larger unpaid invoices to more businesses looking to finance for growth, expansion and business continuity.

With the financial pressures of a ‘cost-of-business crisis’, driven by increased fuel and energy bills, rising inflation and interest rates, invoice finance has become an essential cashflow management tool for many businesses.

In the first half of 2022, client turnover increased by 60% and client numbers increasing by almost 25%.

Ant Persse, chief executive of Optimum Finance, said: “Millions of pounds are currently tied up in unpaid invoices and with economic crisis on the horizon, this ‘inaccessible’ cash could be a lifeline to businesses struggling to make ends meet.

“With 25% more funding capability, we can unlock more of this cash giving more businesses a way to access funds when they need it. And clearly it’s working: 95% of our clients would recommend our services to others to boost their cashflow. We’re looking forward to helping more clients in 2023.”
