The requirement
The business wanted a flexible facility to pay suppliers as required, rather than drawing a fixed lump sum on day one.
We arranged a £50,000 revolving supplier facility.
-
The challenge
The business was committing cash to suppliers before the benefit of that spend came back as revenue: a classic working-capital timing gap.
-
The structure
We structured a revolving facility that the business draws as supplier payments fall due, so it only uses capital when it needs it.
-
The result
The facility completed and went live, and the first supplier payment was made straight away.
The business has a £50,000 line it can use and reuse as suppliers need paying.

Questions about this case
How can an engineering or manufacturing business fund work in progress?
Options include working capital loans, invoice finance and asset finance for equipment, depending on where the cash is tied up. See manufacturing finance.

Yes. Every case study on this site is a transaction we arranged and saw through to completion. Client details are anonymised, and we only publish what we can verify: we never invent figures, rates or outcomes.
