London's "home of football culture" secures £1.75m to accelerate growth plans

A London football media business has announced that it has secured £1.75m as it aims to accelerate its “exponential” growth.

COPA90, which aims to be the “home of global football culture”, has secured a £1.75m facility from alternative finance provider Growth Lending.

The investment will provide COPA90 with working capital to accelerate its existing and future projects across this summer, as well as driving its next stage of growth.

Stephen May, chief financial officer at COPA90, commented: “We could see the growth potential in our business, but needed to fund the working capital required to fulfil that potential.

“Strong relationships with key decision makers at Growth Lending has meant that we’ve developed a collaborative partnership, which will be instrumental as we take our next steps.”

Julian Hornby, principal at Growth Lending, said: “It is great to be able to continue working with the team at COPA90 and support its ongoing growth journey.

“Our investment will fuel several exciting projects this summer, as part of the busy sporting calendar, so we’re looking forward to watching them come to fruition.”
