"With industry funding levels back to pre-pandemic levels, invoice finance is once again seeing the number of firms using this popular form of finance increase"
eCapital Commercial Finance has appointed David Cousins to the role of regional sales manager. Based in London, David will be responsible for working with businesses and their financial advisers across the London and South East region.
David brings 10 years of financial sector experience to eCapital, most recently having spent time in a new business role at Shawbrook Bank where he structured and delivered CAPEX funding solutions to clients to support their growth ambitions. Prior to that he held previous roles at Shawbrook Bank within ABL client portfolio management and new business and a spell previous to that at RBS Invoice Finance, where he undertook various roles spanning relationship management, including support, portfolio management and high risk relationship management strategy.
eCapital specializes in the provision of fast, flexible, and easy invoice finance solutions to SMEs across a wide range of industries, including recruitment, manufacturing and distribution.
David commented: “I am really excited to be joining eCapital. They have impressed me with their drive and determination to achieve an ambitious plan which is reflected in the amount of funding they provide to their growing client base. With industry funding levels back to pre-pandemic levels, invoice finance is once again seeing the number of firms using this popular form of finance increase supporting a rise in total client turnover of 11% to £75 billion. I’m looking forward to working with businesses who want to access funding to make their business plans come to life.
“Responsiveness and commerciality are important to me, and I am encouraged by eCapitals accessibility and real commercial perspective to doing deals. With large funding pools and a commitment to delivering a market leading service they are an ideal funding partner. With funding facilities available up to £2.5m I am looking forward to supporting firms in the region as they navigate the challenges that the next 12 months will bring.”
Mark Finn, regional managing director at eCapital, added: “We are delighted that David has joined the team. As businesses kick off 2023, they are facing an uncertain time. The cost of energy is putting a huge strain on firms in the region coupled with the political and economic uncertainty across the world which is dampening business confidence. Ensuring they have access to flexible funding solutions is vital and we have committed our unfailing support to business and David will play an important role in ensuring we are more accessible to clients.”
