BGF backs Bristol-based eSignature platform Signable to support next phase of growth
BGF, the UK and Ireland’s most active growth capital investor, has backed Bristol-based eSignature software platform Signable with a multimillion-pound investment. The funding will support the business in accelerating its growth, scaling its product offering, strengthening its go-to-market capabilities, and expanding from its established SME base into the UK mid-market.
Founded in 2012, Signable provides a secure and compliant way for businesses to manage electronic signatures and digital workflows. The platform is trusted by organisations across a range of sectors, with particular strength in regulated industries where auditability, compliance and ease of use are critical.
The investment will support Signable’s next phase of development, with a focus on expanding its offering in qualified electronic signatures, enabling the platform to support more complex use cases and evolving customer requirements. This will strengthen its position within regulated sectors such as legal, property, and financial services, while continuing to serve SMEs as a core part of the business.
Signable has grown organically since launch, building a diversified customer base across regulated and document-intensive sectors, including organisations such as Allegiant, Smart Pension, and Drewery Property Consultants, alongside well-known brands such as Aardman and Krispy Kreme, building excellent customer loyalty and long-term relationships. The business has developed a strong reputation for transparent pricing, responsive customer support, and a product that is easy to adopt and scale, underpinned by a people-first approach.
Olly Culverhouse, Founder and CEO at Signable, said: “We’ve built Signable by staying close to our customers and focusing on what actually matters to them - creating digital signing experiences that are human, intuitive, and genuinely helpful.”
“This investment allows us to build on the strong foundation we’ve created. With BGF’s support, we can invest further in our product, our people, and our commercial capabilities as we expand into new markets and support a broader range of organisations. It was important to us to partner with an investor that understands both what we do and the culture we’ve built, and BGF brings that understanding alongside valuable experience supporting software companies as they scale. They share our long-term vision for the business as we enter our next phase of growth. We’re excited to be working together.”
BGF will work closely with Signable’s management team to support the company’s expansion plans, including further strengthening the organisation, investing in commercial leadership and scaling partnerships and integrations.
The investment was led for BGF by Edwin Davies and Hannah King.
Edwin Davies, Investor at BGF said: “Signable is well-positioned to benefit from ongoing digitalisation and increasing regulatory acceptance of electronic signatures. The business has built a strong market position among SMEs that prioritise simplicity, transparency and compliance. With a robust SaaS platform, loyal customer base and clear roadmap, Signable is well equipped to scale further. We’re delighted to partner with the team as they continue to expand their reach.”
