Independent Growth Finance is backed by private equity firm Spring Ventures, whose recent increased commitment to IGF spurred the increased growth in lending to SMEs.

IGF is known for management buy-ins/buyouts, refinancing requirements, restructuring activities and viable turnaround proposals. IGF has recently provided finance solutions to companies including Penta Foods, EPI Group, and Thane Direct UK.

The move of the head office to Redhill, Surrey was attributed to IGF’s growth in asset-based lending.

John Onslow, chief executive officer of Independent Growth Finance, said: “The last financial year has seen another strong performance for IGF. Our asset-based lending proposition continues to excel as we provide flexible finance solutions to ambitious growth companies. We’re committed to helping our clients find the right solution for their business. Over the coming months, we are looking to double the size of our asset-based lending sales team, seeking aspirational people who want to be a part of our growth story.
