Y3S Group Ltd has said that draft accounts from its three subsidiaries show a pre-tax profit of £420,000 for the year ending September 2013.
The Cardiff-based brokerage says that it has experienced exponential growth in the financial year to September, spurred by a combination of unprecedented demand for its secured and bridging loan products and the result of significant investment in technology, offices, people and training to fulfil that demand.
Net profit before taxation across the three companies is up 132% on the previous financial year, which stood at a little over £180,000.
Benson Yeadon, Y3S Group’s finance director, said: “We are very pleased to be signing off accounts that show good growth in both turnover and profits. Although this might not be reflective of the whole economy, the finance sector is showing real grounds for optimism after such a long period of grey skies.
“Our bridging finance and secured loan businesses have both achieved strong sales in the last year, thanks to increased liquidity and real product developments by lenders. Our debt management business has remained steady.”
The firm has recruited 16 staff this year taking numbers to 41, and has recently signed terms on an additional floor of its head office building with accommodation for a further 35 new recruits.
