Flexible funding supports growth of IT solutions provider
After experiencing a significant growth in sales, an established provider of IT solutions and products sought the services of Hilton-Baird Financial Solutions when it became apparent that their existing funding facility was proving restrictive.
The business had used invoice finance for a number of years to support the business’s cash flow requirements. Having experienced the benefits this type of finance delivers, they were keen to retain access to this funding tool.
However, the facility they had in place wasn’t providing the flexibility they required to allow for fluctuations in their sales levels. The facility limit would often be reached during months where sales were high. Furthermore, the fact that the facility was only reviewed annually by their lender was too restrictive for a business in a phase of fast growth.
So they were keen to find an invoice finance facility and lender which was better aligned with their business and sales patterns, whilst reducing the administrative burden on their finance team, and approached Hilton-Baird for our support.
After discussing these requirements with our client, our team used its in-depth knowledge of the invoice finance market to identify suitable options that would better meet their needs.
The result was a new disclosed invoice discounting facility being secured which enables our client to access increased funding levels. Crucially, the facility also provides flexibility and reduces the previous administrative burden. Their new funding partner has a clear understanding of the business and supports its ambitious plans for the future.
