Rob Adams, client manager at IGF, said: “At IGF, we look past the red tape and see the bigger picture. In this case, enabling us to provide funding based on the secure client base and the liquidity of existing collateral that EPI holds.

“Even in a downturn invoice finance is a viable option for many businesses. It suits current business needs, whilst offering the flexibility to grow along with the business.”

EPI Group works with clients including operators like BP, Total, Chevron, Shell, Equinor and ExxonMobil.

IGF’s £3m investment should enable EGI Group to expand further over the next few years.
