Accounting Firm secures debt finance package through MEIF II

Written by Maven | Nov 12, 2024

Accounting practice, Jackson Stapleton, has received a six figure funding injection from Maven through MEIF II - Debt Finance East and South East Midlands.

Jackson Stapleton Accountants was established in 2017 with a clear mission to redefine service excellence using traditional values, whilst harnessing the power of technology. In 2021 the business completed the strategic acquisition of Lincoln-based, Fawcett & Co to enhance its achievements and standards for clients in both locations.
     
The funding through the Midlands Engine Investment Fund II will support sustainable growth, enabling the acquisition of an additional practice in Retford to expand its regional presence and further develop its client base.

Through MEIF II - Debt Finance East and South East Midlands, Maven can provide flexible finance options to address a variety of business needs, including enhancing working capital, purchasing new machinery, capital expenditure, export finance, product development, and team expansion. The Fund has supported a number of businesses across the region to date, including Advance Tapes, a specialist adhesive tapes manufacturer, and DUKE Distribution, a logistics and trackway installation provider.
