Caxton launches crowdfund campaign to the public

Caxton, the global payments provider, has launched a major crowdfunding campaign – but had already hit its investment target.

Launched on Crowdcube, Caxton is seeking investment from customers and investors with the crowdfund opening to the public today after it allowed its customers to buy shares in an exclusive pre-sale. Caxton has agreed to extend the offer to widen the opportunity to investors.

The capital raised will unlock new growth ambitions – accelerating Caxton’s development with key hires and amplified marketing. Over 500,000 B2B and B2C clients use Caxton’s payments platform, enabling them to make and receive every payment they need. Caxton’s platform handles millions of transactions and in the fiscal year 2019, the company made £3m EBITDA on £1bn turnover.

Caxton’s scalable platform works for every payment a B2B client makes – and takes advantage of integrated systems with those clients. The platform offers expense management cards, UK supplier payments and payroll as well as international transactions.

B2C clients make international payments and sort their travel money via a single multi-currency account that pairs with a debit card.

Rupert Lee-Browne, Chairman of Caxton, commented: “The demand from investors so far has been amazing – we love it that we are able to share the future success of the business with our customers and investor community.

“It has been an exciting journey growing the business over the last twenty years and that is why we are pleased to be welcoming brand-new shareholders on the next chapter of our journey as we diversify our offerings to accelerate future growth”.
