Tower Partners Advises Lendscape on International Purchase of WinFactor

Tower Partners, a leading private investment bank and advisory firm serving the middle market, announced that it assisted U.K.-based Lendscape, a global leader in working capital finance technology and backed by Bowmark Capital, with its acquisition of WinFactor, a leading provider of factoring software solutions based in Lakeland, Florida.

Acting as Lendscape’s exclusive buy-side advisor, Tower Partners supported the transaction through market mapping, valuation analysis, offer assessment, and broader strategic advisory services. The team also played a key role in guiding Lendscape through the nuances of completing a cross-border acquisition.

Tower Partners expects to complete more than 15 transactions in 2025 and is on track to close an additional 15 transactions by the first half of 2026.

“We are proud to have advised Lendscape on this important cross-border transaction,” says Raphael Fahrwald, Managing Director at Tower Partners. “WinFactor’s strong reputation in factoring software complements Lendscape’s broader secured finance technology platform, creating a highly synergistic combination that will benefit customers globally.”

Expanding its U.S. footprint reinforces Lendscape’s long-term commitment to secured finance and its emphasis on priority growth markets. Together, Lendscape and WinFactor are well positioned to provide innovative, scalable technology solutions that enable lenders to pursue new opportunities and accelerate growth with confidence.

“This acquisition marks an important milestone in our North American expansion strategy,” says Martin Morrin, CEO of Lendscape. “By combining WinFactor’s long-standing expertise in factoring technology with our global platform, we are able to deliver even more value and innovation to our clients and stakeholders while shaping the future of receivables finance.”

Continues Morrin, “We also want to express our gratitude for the guidance, expertise, and deep understanding of our industry Raphael and his team brought throughout this entire process, from start to finish.”

With decades of experience in the factoring and receivables finance marketplace, WinFactor has developed an end-to-end platform that enables factoring firms and receivables lenders to streamline workflows, manage risk, improve client servicing and embrace digital tools, positioning the company as a respected provider in its niche.

“We are excited to become part of the Lendscape family. Our customers will continue to benefit from the service and reliability they know us for, while gaining access to an expanded product suite and the scale of a global technology leader,” says Patrick de la Roza, CEO of WinFactor. “This partnership ensures we can support our clients’ growth for decades to come.”
