As we enter 2025, we wanted to share our thoughts on the year just gone and reflect on what has been an excellent performance for our business.

In 2024, AURELIUS Finance Company significantly expanded its portfolio, strengthened the team, secured additional funding, and garnered independent industry recognition – all of which drove the business further forward from the record levels achieved in 2023.

Let’s take a closer look at our 2024 key highlights:

• Portfolio Growth: Having broken the GBP 100m threshold during 2023, we have been thrilled to see our portfolio grow to surpass GBP 175m. Amongst many important milestones along this path, we have been pleased to support:
  
  • Trutex, with our first ABL and cashflow loan hybrid. [LINK]
  • Finders, with a highly bespoke acquisition and working capital facility. [LINK]
  • Amscan, with an inventory-only facility against an accelerated timeline. [LINK]
  • Trinny London, with a structured and fully revolving facility. [LINK]
  • National Timber Group, with a complex super-senior ABL facility. [LINK]
    
    
• Team Development: As a result of this growth in lending volume and client numbers, we have been pleased to continue building out our team, welcoming:
  • Joss Mitchison, Analyst, from Kroll
  • Hannah Cowling, Analyst, from EY
    
    
• Industry Acknowledgement: We are proud to have been shortlisted as Alternative Finance Provider of the Year at the Insider Media South East Dealmakers Awards 2025.
  
  
• Additional Funding: Recognising our volume growth and the quality of our client base, our partner Wells Fargo has provided us with increased levels of funding. This further strengthens our ability to support complex event-driven financings with a senior debt requirement of between GBP 5m and GBP 35m, at competitive pricing.
  

Karun Dhir, Managing Director at AURELIUS Finance Company, commented:

“AURELIUS Finance Company has a proud tradition of supporting UK mid-market companies with bespoke solutions. We are convinced that our expertise and ability to deliver what’s needed is even more important in 2025, as challenging economic headwinds continue. Our business is growing across all product lines, and we are well placed to support our clients in navigating event-driven financings and complex scenarios.”

Our team is grateful for the support shown to us by our professional introducer network during what was another record year. And we look forward to supporting your clients with ABL and cashflow facilities as we grow our business during 2025.
