Leyton Capital Advisors is delighted to announce our recent success in facilitating a seven-figure funding package for innovative recruitment software provider, hireful.
Managing director Nicolas Jacquier expressed pride in facilitating this major milestone for hireful and fostering the alliance with private debt fund SME Capital.
“We are thrilled to have played a pivotal role in this transaction and look forward to seeing Hireful’s continued growth and success. At Leyton Capital Advisors, we remain committed to assisting high-growth firms in achieving their strategic objectives, focusing on equity and debt fundraising, acquisitions, acquisition financing, and disposal transactions.”
hireful, a leading provider of recruitment software, was founded in 1999 as a traditional recruitment agency. Since then, they have evolved to offer ‘recruitment success’ to organisations through their industry-leading Applicant Tracking System (ATS), along with unrivalled support, training, and job advertising campaigns. Based in Northamptonshire, hireful is regarded as the best ATS for ‘everyday organisations’ and has a strategic focus on growing and investing further in the commercial side of their business.
The funding has been provided by SME Capital. This bespoke long-term funding package will support hireful’s growth strategy and expansion plans. Commenting on the deal, Regional Director Chris Collings noted the significant time and effort invested by the hireful team in building their market-leading platform and was excited to support the next stage of their journey.
Leyton Capital Advisors: Specialists in private innovation finance
At Leyton Capital Advisors, we specialise in private innovation finance. We’re not just financial advisors; we’re partners in growth. As Nicolas explains:
“We take immense pride in helping ambitious companies reach their growth objectives.
“In today’s financially challenging climate, securing funding can be an uphill task, especially for SMEs with patchy profitability records. This unpredictability can often scare off traditional lenders – but that’s where we can step in. We have access to a network of alternative lenders with more flexibility and different risk appetite. As well as this, our industry-specific experience helps to guide businesses towards successful funding applications – we have a track record of securing letters of intent for funding within a matter of weeks.
“Our role doesn’t stop at securing funds. We work tirelessly to prepare our clients for investors and lenders. This includes creating marketing material, developing financial models, offering strategic advice, and facilitating connections with potential investors. We also assist in securing and negotiating terms, managing the due diligence process, and supervising legal documentation drafting.
“We typically secure funding from £1M to £30M, with an average of £7M tickets. Successful companies must demonstrate a proven business model with revenue of £1M+, coupled with high growth.
“Our aim is to bridge the gap between high-growth firms and the resources they need to unlock their full potential.”
