About

Our company acts as an advisor and arranger of finance in the sports sector. We specialise in Receivables Finance and have raised over £750m in 20 years of operating.

During this period none of our funders have ever lost a penny on any of our deals. Our services include devising the most appropriate financing structure to allow for our clients’ tax, cash flow and balance sheet requirements, and the subsequent arrangement of the funding at the most competitive rate available in the market. The economic downturn as a result of Covid19 and the corresponding impact on Clubs cash flow has resulted in the need to plug gaps by borrowing. Clubs increasingly have to justify each aspect of their expenditure and optimize their income opportunities.

We have devised various financing structures for the Sports Market particularly in Football & Rugby where we are able to procure funding at competitive rates. We can accelerate cash flow against future receivables for transfer monies, future broadcasting revenues, season tickets, sponsorship and stadium naming rights income and income from catering contracts.
