VANQUISH FITNESS SECURES £1M BOOST TO DRIVE US EXPANSION

Vanquish Fitness, the Tottenham-based e-commerce retailer specialising in athleisure and gym wear, has secured a £1 million trade loan backed by UK Export Finance (UKEF), the government’s export credit agency. The funding will enable the business to strengthen cash flow, expand its product lines and accelerate entry into international markets, with a particular focus on the United States.

Founded in 2014, Vanquish has grown rapidly by delivering high-quality active streetwear to a global customer base. With strong sales in both the UK and the US, the company has set its sights on becoming a dominant player in the competitive athleisure and gym wear sector.

The financing package gives Vanquish the flexibility to maintain reliable supply chains, partner more effectively with international suppliers, and ensure timely procurement of inventory – all critical to supporting its continued growth.

Keisha Silvera, Export Finance Manager at UK Export Finance (UKEF), said:
“We’re pleased to support Vanquish Fitness. They’re a business that’s ready to build on their strong domestic foundation and scale up in key export markets like the US.

“By providing the guarantee to their trade loan, we’re helping Vanquish Fitness maintain reliable supply chains whilst they pursue their growth ambitions in the competitive global athleisure market. This shows exactly what UKEF is here for: to help British businesses overcome financing barriers and compete successfully on the world stage.”

Vanquish Fitness now plans to leverage the funding to reinforce its international presence, expand its product range, and build on its existing success in the US market – a move designed to cement its reputation as one of the UK’s most dynamic fashion and lifestyle exports.
