Growth Street matches £100m with SMEs




Growth Street has announced that it has matched £100m of investors' money with growing, scale-up UK SMEs.

The alternative finance provider has helped businesses to achieve funding for growth, acquisitions and both management buyouts and buy-ins since launching in 2015.

In the 12 months to July 2017, Growth Street borrowers collectively generated revenues of £212.7m, returning profits of £22m, according to accounting data collected by the company.

During the same period, its borrowers increased at a rate of over 20% year-on-year.

The finance provider has also developed and launched GrowthLine.

Similar to a flexible overdraft, GrowthLine allows companies to access up to £1m, drawing down and making repayments within their limits as much as they like.


The SME lender is also developing a free automated cash flow forecasting tool to enable business owners to make smarter decisions.

Greg Carter, CEO of Growth Street, said: “At a time when SMEs are under immense economic and financial pressure, we’re proud to have reached the landmark of matching £100m with small- and medium-sized businesses.

“SMEs are the heartbeat of the UK economy and it is critical that this hard-pressed segment of the market gets the funding it needs.

“And we’re just getting started.

“We’re now aiming to deliver another £100m of investment into growing businesses through our platform over the next 12 months.”
