eCapital UK Appoints Mike Harrison as regional managing director, South

eCapital UK, a specialist in invoice finance and asset-based lending for growing SMEs, has announced the appointment of Mike Harrison as regional managing director, South, reflecting its continued support of small and medium-sized businesses and their advisors regionally and across the UK.

The appointment comes at a time when many SMEs continue to face challenges securing funding that meets their needs. As businesses increasingly look beyond traditional lending, demand for specialist funding partners that combine tailored funding solutions with regional expertise continues to grow.

In his new role, Mike will be responsible for driving business growth across Southern England, strengthening intermediary and client relationships, and supporting the continued expansion of eCapital UK’s market presence in the region.

Mike joins eCapital UK with more than two decades’ experience spanning invoice finance and corporate banking markets, having held senior roles with Bank of Scotland, Bank of Ireland and in the fintech space. Mike also spent six years at a fast-paced technology company where they achieved a successful exit selling the business to private equity investors.

Mark Finn, UK group managing director at eCapital UK, said: “I am delighted to welcome Mike to eCapital UK. Having worked with him previously, I have seen first-hand his ability to combine strong commercial acumen with a genuine focus on building long-term relationships with small business owners. Mike brings a unique blend of experience across sales leadership, credit, corporate banking and client management, which makes him exceptionally well suited to this role.

“As traditional banks continue to retrench from SME lending, many ambitious businesses are defaulting to short-term borrowing or loan stacking because they haven’t been shown the alternatives. That’s where eCapital is different. Our regional teams take the time to understand each business, helping clients access funding structures that support growth rather than simply solving today’s cash flow challenge. Mike’s experience will further strengthen that approach across the South.”

Mike Harrison said: “I am thrilled to be joining eCapital UK at such an exciting stage in the company’s growth journey.

“eCapital has built a strong reputation for delivering flexible funding solutions and exceptional service. I look forward to working alongside the talented team to further strengthen our relationships with clients and introducers in the South, helping more businesses access the funding they need to seize opportunities and grow with confidence.”
