During his time in commercial finance, Chris Martin realised how cold and outdated the industry was. Having worked in the space for over 13 years, providing businesses of all shapes and sizes with financial support, he wanted to give people something different that would help to change perceptions of the industry.
Chris founded Origin Finance in February 2019, with the aim of offering unrivalled expertise and knowledge alongside more exciting core values that would change customers’ perceptions of the finance industry for good.
Origin Finance is a finance broker, with access to over 100 lenders from high street banks to high net-worth individuals. This access to funds – combined with their extensive and up-to-date product market knowledge – enables them to deliver exceptional support and finance packages, whilst helping business owners to navigate the often tricky world of commercial finance.
In this week’s episode of GROW, Chris talks to us about how Origin Finance does things differently and shares expert tips for business owners looking to finance their next big idea.

The Gen Z Club was founded in 2021 to help address the lack of resources available for Gen Z hustlers to pursue their dreams. Its founders are Austin Okolo, Denzil Jones and Poku Banks, who all come from entrepreneurial backgrounds and are determined to make a change. From the humble beginnings of clubhouse, the organisation has now grown to a nationwide hub of opportunities for Gen Zs with thousands of people engaged over various platforms. Their aim is to create a community for Gen Z individuals to feel inspired, network and grow their businesses.
Now onto Jonathan Reid, the Co-founder of Purpose Led, a community-driven platform that inspires a generation to believe they can achieve their dreams and live a life of purpose. Founded in 2020 during the first wave of lockdown, Purpose Led started as a Clubhouse room where discussions on personal development and purposeful living took place. Today, with over 1.3 million views on social media and 28,000 streams, Purpose Led remains committed to its mission of empowering people worldwide to live a more purpose-led life.

What does it take to GROW a successful small business?
Hi, I’m Jacob Collins-Brown, and I’m on a quest… to become a successful entrepreneur. Having tried my hand at establishing my own business but never quite reaching the heights I wanted to, I realised that gaining inside knowledge from others who have ‘been there, done that, and succeeded’ could make a huge difference.
To help myself – and all you budding entrepreneurs out there – succeed, I’m gaining all that valuable knowledge by meeting and speaking with all kinds of successful entrepreneurs. Sourced from all fields of business, from marketing and finance to recruitment, retail and more, my guests have become experts in their chosen areas; having tried and tested what it takes to really grow a small business, including how to raise the finance needed when starting out, to insider tips for success.
You'll find fresh new episodes released every two weeks in rotation with our sister show DRIVE where my fellow podcast host Richard Osborne also speaks to entrepreneurs and business founders about their own journeys and experiences into what drives them when it comes to running a successful business.
