Network Knowledge and Bibby Financial Services have agreed a partnership to mutually benefit their combined clients.

Bibby Financial Services are the largest independent invoice finance provider in the UK, providing cash flow funding to more than 3,000 businesses, handling client turnover of more than 3.9billion and advances over 300m to help small and medium-sized firms grow and realise their potential.

As a group of autonomous companies, Bibby Financial Services specialise in providing cash flow solutions to a wide range of businesses, from start-ups through to more established businesses. They can assist firms that trade with other firms on credit; businesses that deal in the UK and overseas; or firms who just need their cash to work harder for them.

They are wholly owned by the highly successful, 200 year old Bibby Line Group, a dynamic business-to-business services group which has based its success on diversifying into sectors including ship owning, shallow water accommodation, oil field services and contract logistics, as well as business finance.

In 2008, they were awarded the very prestigious award of Best Factor and Invoice discounter by the National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers.
