Manolete Partners plc has completed a successful debt refinancing
March 2025 — Manolete Partners plc has signed a new revolving credit facility (RCF) with its existing provider, HSBC.

The facility has a term of 3.25 years, with the option to extend for an additional year on the same terms.
Founded in 2009 by CEO Steven Cooklin, Manolete is the leading insolvency litigation financing company in the UK. The company has invested in more than 1,450 UK insolvency litigation cases and successfully completed over 1,050 of them.
