eCapital UK appoints Mark Finn as group managing director
eCapital UK, a specialist in invoice finance and asset-based lending for growing SMEs, has appointed Mark Finn as group managing director as it expands its presence across key UK markets.
The appointment comes at a time when many SMEs continue to face a widening funding gap, with traditional lenders retrenching from parts of the market and businesses increasingly seeking more flexible sources of working capital.
Finn brings more than 25 years’ experience in invoice finance, beginning his career at Barclays before holding senior roles at Bank of Scotland and later becoming managing director of one of the UK’s largest independent invoice finance providers. He joined eCapital UK in 2021 as regional managing director for Thames Valley and South, where he led a team of 40 across sales, operations and risk, and played a key role in supporting the expansion of asset-based lending for businesses in the region.
In his new role, Finn will assume executive responsibility for performance across eCapital’s UK regional businesses, with oversight of revenue, sales and marketing. He will focus on strengthening the company’s presence across the UK, with regional offices in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow.
The appointment follows growth in larger and more complex funding transactions, with facilities of up to £6 million becoming an increasingly important part of the firm’s offering. Developing relationships with introducers will also remain a key focus as the business continues to expand.
David Tilling, CEO & head of UK Group, said: “Mark has made a significant contribution over the past five years, and this promotion reflects the impact he has had on the business, as well as our ambitions for future growth.”
“Right now, too many ambitious businesses are still navigating their funding options without the right support, often defaulting to short-term borrowing structures or loan stacking that are not suited to their needs. What differentiates eCapital UK is the strength of our regional teams and their understanding of the businesses and sectors they support. That proximity enables faster decisions and more tailored funding solutions that genuinely support long-term growth.
“With Mark leading at a national level, we are well positioned to reach more businesses across the UK and support their growth with the right funding structures.”
Mark commented: “It has been a privilege to help build our Thames Valley and South business over the past five years. I am looking forward to building on that success nationally and supporting more businesses with increasingly complex funding requirements at a time when access to the right working capital has never been more important.”
