History

In 2012, Boost Capital launched a £10 million fund to support the growth of small businesses in Yorkshire, including retailers, hotels and restaurants.[4]

In March 2017, Boost Capital relocated to a new office in Chelmsford. Commenting on the move, managing director Alex Littner said: "We have always seen Chelmsford as a good location. Its proximity to London, but without the costs associated, gives us access to a high quality workforce."[6]

In December 2017, BFS Capital announced that they along with Boost Capital had provided over $1.7 billion to SMEs across the UK, US and Canada since they started.[7]
