London, 15th August 2024 – Fusion Consulting Group, a leading multi-disciplinary professional services firm serving Private Clients and SMEs, is pleased to announce that it has secured an 8-figure debt funding package from the alternative finance provider, Growth Lending.

The firm's unique proposition of providing 360° advisory services to private clients, entrepreneurs, and SMEs, something which only the Big 4 have successfully implemented for large companies and ultra-high net worth individuals.

Following an initial funding round in 2022, Fusion successfully completed five acquisitions in just five months, adding two accountancy firms, two IFA firms, and a finance recruitment firm with CFO-as-a-Service capabilities to its portfolio.

In the coming months, Fusion will launch Fusion-Nexus, a bespoke web and mobile app designed to serve as a gateway for all of its clients' professional services needs.
