Pulse Cashflow Finance has undergone a management buyout (MBO) to help UK firms cope with economic uncertainty.
Founded in 2008 by Toni Dare he sold the business in November 2019 but stayed on as Managing Director. Last year Dare and sales and marketing director Martin Bennison – identified, proposed and seized the opportunity to execute an MBO from their parent.
As part of their acquisition strategy they partnered with Arena Investors to support their future growth strategy and to take the business to the next level. As part of the move, the team took the opportunity to undertake a brand refresh to Pulse Finance and offer a wider portfolio of finance solutions.
Dare said: “We are thrilled to have successfully completed the buyout – we have over 16 years’ experience of delivering exceptional tailored working capital solutions to SMEs blended with excellence in client service. We are benefit ting from a committed partner and have plans to invest in the business in terms of strengthening both our team and our proposition. From our clients and introducers perspective its business as usual, we are here, we are open, and we are hungry for business”.
Pulse Finance has in recent years, invested in expanded their portfolio of financial solutions to support UK business growth. The inclusion of Invoice Discounting and Trade Finance has complemented their Invoice Finance proposition. With scalable growth capital available, Pulse Finance are seeing an increased demand from a diverse range of clients looking for financial solutions to support their business operations.
Pulse said that the economy has been showing signs of recovery but there are challenges facing UK businesses from increased national insurance and payroll costs, high interest rates and ongoing concerns about inflation. Business owners need to be equipped to seize new business opportunities as they arise.
Bennison added: “With strong funding lines in place we intend to enable more businesses than ever before to access the funding they need to make their plans a reality. We have earned a reputation for helping where others can’t because we treat each deal individually and focus on the quality of the debt as the basis of our funding decisions to deliver innovative working capital solutions. UK businesses are facing a bumpy road ahead and our promise is to work hard to support them to help their businesses prosper."
