The achievement comes on the back of what has been a challenging 18 months for businesses as they sought to navigate the impact of the pandemic.

In the first six months of 2021, Advantedge said it posted a 28 per cent increase in the number of new client facilities over the same period in 2020 and a 2 per cent increase on 2019 levels.

With confidence increasing amongst UK businesses, Advantedge is continuing to see a high level of demand for invoice finance facilities and is forecasting year-end growth of 6 per cent in new client facilities over 2019 levels putting them ahead of where they were pre-pandemic.

Advantedge was recently acquired by US-based eCapital Corp, a leading North American provider of speciality lending solutions.
