The results in the first quarter of 2017 achieved a record for the lender. In March, MarketInvoice funded invoices worth £54.7m, and the total value of invoices funded since the company began reached £1.2bn.
Anil Stocker, chief executive officer and co-founder of MarketInvoice, said that MarketInvoice’s results were part of a wider trend of businesses leaving traditional funding sources.
He said: “The achievement mirrors industry trends where asset-based finance is increasingly taking market share from traditional forms of working capital options.”
“Businesses are looking beyond their obvious ‘go-to’ options and realising they can use invoice finance in an effective and meaningful manner.”
