The Partner Behind the UK's Most Ambitious Innovators
For over years, we have been a dedicated financial partner to the businesses shaping tomorrow, providing the capital they need on terms that protect their vision.
Our Mission: To Fuel Potential
Apex Finance was founded by Martin Byrne with a simple but powerful idea: that great businesses with brilliant ideas were being overlooked. Traditional banks were too rigid, and venture capital wasn't the right fit for everyone. There was a clear need for a financial partner who understood the challenges of innovation and was willing to back potential, not just past performance.
Today, that mission is more important than ever. We remain fiercely independent and committed to our founding principles of flexibility, specialist expertise, and a founder-friendly approach. We believe that securing finance shouldn't be a barrier to growth—it should be the catalyst that unleashes it.
Meet Our Founder
Our approach is built on decades of hands-on experience and a genuine passion for seeing our clients succeed.
Martin Byrne
Managing Director
"After years in traditional finance, I saw too many great businesses being turned away. They didn't fit the banks' rigid boxes, but their potential was undeniable. I started Apex Finance to be the partner I knew they needed: one that was agile, understood their industry, and was willing to back their vision without taking their equity or requesting personal guarantees. That commitment remains at the heart of everything we do today."
