Optimum Finance achieve new heights with record breaking year despite tumultuous market
Optimum Finance, the Invoice Finance specialist and an eCapital company, has reported its strongest year to date as it continues to support the UK small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) community’s growth ambitions.
With July 2025 achieving record breaking numbers regarding funding facilities supplied to SMEs, and client turnover reaching a staggering 43.7% compared to the equivalent period in 2024, 2025 is currently on track to be the Bristol based firms’ best year to date.
Optimum Finance also achieved an income growth of 19.7%, and a 36% increase in gross receivables in July.
Ant Persse, CEO of Optimum Finance, says the continued success of the business is a testament to the fantastic work being undertaken by Optimum Finance’s team: “Every single member of the team is dedicated to delivering an exceptional level of service to our clients and introducers across our broad portfolio. I couldn’t be prouder of our team and what we have achieved over the last year.”
Ant adds that technology innovation internally and for clients remain a key focus for the business, allowing it to scale with efficiency, and crucially allowing the team to spend more time assisting clients: “Working within finance is all about striking the right balance when adopting new technology. We’ve been able to ringfence and build our own AI tools, making it faster and easier when doing business with us. If we can use innovations and bespoke technology solutions to free up time for our staff, and most importantly, our clients, then it makes sense.”
Over the past 12 months Optimum Finance has helped a broad range of businesses reach their business objectives. These include Greek street food brand, Mikos Gyros, which turned to Optimum Finance to help achieve its growth ambitions, including expanding its footprint to the EU and US as well as placing listings in major supermarkets. Furthermore, Optimum Finance has helped commercial cleaning supplier Abbee Limited, which uses invoice financing solutions to unlock working capital for its robotic vacuum technology.
