Supporting business growth for 45 years

At Bibby Financial Services (BFS), we believe every business has the potential to grow. They just need the right support to make this happen.

BFS was formed in Liverpool more than 45 years ago, and since this time, the needs of our customers have changed significantly. Though the way in which we help SMEs grow has also changed, our commitment to helping our customers take on new orders, expand into new markets or seize growth opportunities has been consistent.

Today, we support SMEs across nine countries throughout Europe and Asia, funding more than 8,500 businesses in 300 industry sectors worldwide. We offer a range of solutions, including Invoice Finance, Asset Finance and Foreign Exchange to help businesses operating in domestic and international markets. 

With teams operating around the world, we help businesses trade across borders without the usual complications.

But we’re not content with simply financing businesses. We’re committed to working with our customers to overcome barriers to growth, putting into practice our expertise so that we can succeed together. It’s for this reason we recruit, develop and retain great people who live our values and demonstrate a passion for supporting our customers every day.

As part of the Bibby Line Group, one of the UK’s oldest family-owned businesses, we believe our responsibility expands beyond our customers and colleagues. We want to contribute positively to local communities and play our part in creating a sustainable future for generations to come. We’re one team connecting and collaborating with the world around us to work towards better outcomes for all.

It’s this belief in a wider purpose that drives us forward and enables us to positively connect with our customers, colleagues and the communities in which will live and work.
