The accountancy and business advisory firm has launched Cowgill Holloway Business Funding and appointed Benjamin Day (pictured above, centre) to spearhead the offering.

Cowgill Holloway Business Funding will review any arrangements that a company currently has in place and, if need be, will source a more suitable option or an alternative finance product.

It will also work with businesses looking for their first source of finance as well as more established companies looking for new funding lines. 

Benjamin joins from MarketInvoice, where he was head of sales. 

Prior to his time at the peer-to-peer platform, Benjamin was a regional sales manager for Aldermore Invoice Finance. 

Cowgill Holloway hopes that his experience with funders will provide businesses with access to the best options for their requirements.

“We’re delighted to have Benjamin on board to launch our business funding arm, and that he is already proving his value to the clients,” said Jason Elliott, partner at Cowgill Holloway (pictured above, left). 

“Earlier this month, he helped one of our clients fund a management buyout, and we look forward to him assisting more clients with the growth of their businesses.

“As a firm, we look forward to doing our bit to make sure companies are able to access the funding they need to move on to their next stage of growth and becoming real success stories.”

Based in the North West – with offices in Bolton, Manchester and Liverpool – Cowgill Holloway offers advice on a full range of loans from asset and invoice to stock and alternative finance.

“The North West isn’t short on ideas – the region benefits from a wealth of innovation and disruptive tech, with countless businesses across all industries making waves,” said Benjamin.

“Unfortunately, investment continues to stand in the way; both start-ups and SMEs consistently state funding as their main barrier for growth. 

“We’ll be using our expertise and contacts to work with businesses and their advisers to offer an individual, bespoke approach to secure the right funding option for their company – we want to help businesses to achieve their ambitions, and on their own terms.”
