Bolton finance firm celebrates first year with 'strong results and big ambitions'
A Bolton-based commercial finance firm is celebrating its first birthday with "strong results and big ambitions".
Since launching on May 1, 2024, has grown to a 10-person team, moved into new office space, and supported more than 100 UK businesses with what it describes as "access to flexible, fast, and transparent funding".
Eighteen per cent of the firm's customers are said to have returned for further support within the first year.

CEO and founder, Lee Schofield, said: "Starting and building this business in Bolton was important to me.
"This town has shaped who I am, and I wanted to build something here that could grow, create jobs, and genuinely support UK business owners.
"I'm proud of what we've achieved in year one, but even more excited about what's ahead.
"We're building a modern, scalable finance business right here in Bolton - one that delivers real outcomes for our customers and opportunities for our team."
The company plans to expand its team, deepen relationships with lenders, and continue investing in its platform - with Bolton remaining "at the heart of its future plans."
