Investor Information

Initially, equity capital was raised to start the business with further rounds occurring over the years.  In recent times the business has focused more on debt through 8el’s subsidiary leasing company, to fund the infrastructure and technology advancements for the various products and solutions. 

£15 million has been raised through a combination of equity capital and debt, to fund the business to date.  8el has in excess of 150 private investors, which includes friends and family, who have helped to make this happen.

8el has reinvented the commercial model to reflect changes in the market place and advances in technology.  This has helped to keep 8el at the forefront of market trends and enabled the business to move into a profitable position today.

As a business, 8el is free of any bank overdraft exposure, which has protected our position through the recession.  8el is also independent of venture capitalist or institutional influences and importantly, in control of its own destiny with all strategic decisions made at 8el executive board level.

8el remains a leader in the market place and is well financed to manage its growth going forward.
