Seneca Trade Partners rebrands as Revolve following £40m funding to expand SME lending capacity

Seneca Trade Partners, a provider of stock and working capital finance to UK SMEs has announced its rebrand to Revolve.

This marks the next phase of the Company’s growth following the completion of a £40 million senior debt facility from Foresight Group, a leading regional private equity, private credit and real assets manager.

Following its acquisition by iO Finance Partners in 2025, the business has strengthened its capital base and governance framework. Combined with the new Foresight facility, Revolve is now positioned toscale its core offering and increase lending capacity and customer reach.

Under its new brand, the business will continue to specialise in trade and stock finance, while offering revolving loan facilities designed to provide flexible access to working capital for UK SMEs. These facilities are designed to give business owners greater freedom, confidence and control over their working capital as their businesses evolve.


Commenting on the announcement, Chris Williams, Director at Revolve, said:

“The rebrand to Revolve reflects who we are today – a specialist provider of revolving trade and working capital finance. It’s an incredibly rewarding time for everyone within the business, and we have some exciting announcements to come as we continue to expand.”

Chris Divers, Director at Revolve, added:

“Securing a £40 million funding line from Foresight is a major step forward for the business. It’s a strong endorsement of our model, our people and the momentum we’ve built. Alongside the backing of iO Finance Partners, this facility increases our capacity to support more SMEs and expand our lending activity, with a target to grow the loan book over the medium term.”

Dan Lawson, Investment Director at Foresight Group, also commented:

“We are delighted to be partnering with the team at Revolve. Chris Divers, Chris Williams and Mark McGuire are highly experienced and have built a strong business by providing flexible funding to an underserved segment of the SME market. We look forward to supporting the company, now entering its next phase of growth, in the years ahead.”

Based in Manchester, the business has supported clients across a wide range of sectors, providing more than £250 million of funding to over 500 businesses, and building a loan book that now exceeds £20 million. The new facility will add significant lending capacity and support the planned scaling of the loan book over the coming years.

The business will begin operating under the Revolve brand from April 2026.
