History

Close Invoice Finance Limited started life as a small factoring company called Century Factors, based above a car showroom in Yeovil, Somerset.

Century was one of the first acquisitions by Close Brothers. The name was changed in 1993 to Close Invoice Finance Limited.

Three other factoring companies have been acquired along the way, Brown Shipley, Security Pacific (1991) and Metropolitan Factors (2001). These acquisitions created our Southern Office in Brighton.

In 2002 Close Invoice Finance opened the Northern Office in Stockport and is now a recognised presence in the North of England.

We started in 1984 with 20 clients and have now grown to over 1000 clients.

Our Chief Executive is David Thomson.
