eCapital relocate head office to Reading as they set sights on continued growth
eCapital, a leading invoice financier has today announced a relocation of their head office and Thames Valley operation to new larger premises into the centre of Reading, Berkshire. The move from their original home in Wallingford is the result of a period of impressive growth and has been designed to facilitate their ambitious future plans.
Specialising in invoice finance, the firm is seeing more UK SME’s return to using invoice finance, as they recognise the benefits that a flexible supply of funding can make to their growth plans during these challenging times. With £19bn being injected into the SME population it is a primary source of funding for business.
Having remained committed to delivering funding solutions to firms throughout what has been a challenging few years, eCapital has seen an impressive uplift in the amount of finance they deliver to UK SME’s with £160m of funding support currently being provided to firms across the UK. The demand that the firm is seeing has necessitated the move to larger offices to cater for their growing team.
David Tilling, CEO of eCapital explained the move: “Wallingford has been our home for many years and served us well, but over the last few years we have grown up as a business. The support from our US based parent gives us the confidence to put ambitious plans in place and as we take our business to the next stage, we needed to ensure our location was right. Reading has a vibrant commercial district with great infrastructure and transportation links enabling easy access to other regional centres across the UK where we can be closer to not only financial intermediaries but to a large business population. It also gives us access to a wider talent pool to support our increasing need for great people to service our clients.”
The company puts its continuing growth down to their real commercial perspective, access to large funding pools and a commitment to delivering a market leading service which they believe make them an ideal funding partner. With funding facilities available up to £2.5m eCapital is looking forward to supporting the growth strategies of UK firms seeking flexible and competitive finance for their businesses.
Their acquisition by US based eCapital Corp has brought additional strength to the business which is committed to supporting UK businesses looking to access fast, flexible, and easy funding solutions. Their future plans continue to focus on investment in innovation – both product and technology – whilst ensuring their geographical presence is strengthened to ensure that they continue to exceed the evolving expectations of their clients and intermediaries.
As David concluded: “We are delighted with our new home, and as we move forward, we are excited about what the future will bring. We remain committed to responding to our clients’ evolving needs, whilst continuing to offer innovative solutions. Investing in our team is paramount to ensure we deliver a market leading service based on speed, a straightforward approach to doing business and delivering value for money. Reading provides a great base from which to continue our growth over the next few years. I know the team are excited to be moving here. Why not pop in and see us!”
With strengthened support, robust funding lines and a marked investment in the business they are excited about what the next few years will bring as they continue to deliver on their plan to become the leading independent invoice finance provider of choice in the UK.
