Manchester-based car finance FinTech Zuto has landed a majority investment from Bridgepoint to accelerate the next phase of its growth.
Zuto’s revenues are up 30 per cent year-on-year to £75m and the deal signals an exit for long-term investor Scottish Equity Partners (SEP).
Jim Wilkinson, CEO of Zuto, said: “This is a pivotal milestone in Zuto’s journey. We’re proud to be a high-growth, profitable fintech operating at scale – leading the way in our sector by combining technology with a progressive, people-first approach.
“The fact that Bridgepoint shares our vision and has invested with such confidence is hugely exciting. It gives us the opportunity to strengthen our position, scale our platform, support more customers and give them even greater control.”
“We are hugely grateful to SEP for the support and guidance they have given us.
“Their partnership, and belief in our mission, has played a huge part in shaping the business into what it is today, supporting the development of the progressive culture that makes Zuto so unique”.
Founded in 2006 and certified as a B Corp, Zuto has helped over 450,000 people in the UK find the right car finance for their needs.
The company achieved revenues of £75m and EBITDA of £12.5m in the last financial year to June 25.
