Our Story

How many times have you heard companies say that they are focused on you and that you are the centre of their world?

How many times have you felt betrayed by the real-life experience of such grandiose promises?

That’s how James Bingham and Leanne Dawson came to found Pathfinder.

They had a conviction that, not only could Invoice Finance be much better utilised by UK companies throughout every stage of their business journey, but that they could also have a better experience of working with Invoice Finance day to day. And if they had a problem they could have someone passionately fighting their corner.

From careers spanning every role in Invoice Finance, within some of the most remarkable lenders in the industry, Pathfinder was formed on four fundamental tenets that customers require from Invoice Finance

Hear Me – Please listen to my business story – how I came to be here and where I want to go next and my ultimate business ambition. Don’t make assumptions about me. I, like every business, am unique.

Inform Me – I know a lot about my business and the markets I serve. But Invoice Finance is not necessarily my specialist subject. I need your help to understand how I can utilise it effectively right now and how it can be a supportive finance companion down the road.

Empower Me – Help me make the right choices by both understanding me and my business, and having the courage to challenge me if you think I am not heading down the right path.

Inspire Me – Show me what excellence looks like. We are all human. What I need is your genuine passion for my business’ success.

“Who you are, what your values are, what you stand for; they are your anchor, your north star. You won’t find them in a book. You’ll find them in your soul.”

“We used the team at Pathfinder Invoice Finance to help us raise capital to purchase a business and provide ongoing working capital. Their knowledge of funders who support the construction industry was extremely helpful and their honest advice and support was and still is invaluable. They are always on hand to assist us if we need it. We would highly recommend Pathfinder to anyone looking for business finance and have already referred other clients to them.”
Josh Eiles-Clark, Group Managing Director, Wood Mace Ltd

“We were looking for a facility to support our growth plans post-pandemic. With large investments in inventory and machinery to support a ramp up, we needed to ensure we had access to funds to support all aspects of our supply chain and customer ambition. We wanted some independent advice and support to find the right facility for the business. The team at Pathfinder took the time to understand our business needs and infrastructure, resulting in providing us with exactly the right solution for the company, both from a financial and relationship perspective. I would highly recommend them for any business related finance advice.”
Peter, Managing Director, Engineering Business

“We found ourselves requiring a specific credit insurance and funding solution for one of our long-standing clients. They took the time to really understand what was required, analysed what was available across the whole market, and subsequently provided an excellent bolt-on solution to our existing finance partner’s services. This was all done in a relaxed and friendly manner with minimal red tape. Both the client and I are very happy with the solution they delivered. I would thoroughly recommend a chat with Pathfinder should you have any business finance related conundrums, no matter how big or small.”
Robert Bond, Managing Director, Bond Williams.
