The Detail

What isGrowth Finance?

Growth finance (also called expansion capital or development finance) is unsecured or partially secured funding for businesses with a proven track record looking to scale. Unlike working capital — which covers day-to-day costs — growth finance funds strategic moves: new hires, marketing campaigns, product development, geographic expansion, or acquisitions. Lenders assess your historical performance, growth trajectory, and future projections.

When to Use

Best for:

  • Expanding into new UK regions or international markets
  • Launching a new product line or service offering
  • Scaling your team — sales, engineering, operations
  • Acquiring a competitor or complementary business
  • Investing in marketing and brand building
  • Upgrading technology infrastructure or ERP systems
