The Challenge
London Cabinet Makers is a renowned British furniture designer and manufacturer specialising in high-end bespoke pieces. The business had ambitious plans to accelerate growth, including launching a new website, opening a dedicated showroom to showcase new furniture lines, and investing in marketing and additional staff.
However, a combination of an existing high-cost finance facility and the need to wait for ongoing projects to complete before receiving payment created persistent cashflow pressure. Funds were regularly tied up in work in progress, leaving limited capacity to invest in strategic growth initiatives.
Although the business was performing well, their current funding structure was holding them back from reaching the next stage of development.
The Solution
After reviewing the client’s financial arrangements, we identified that their existing loan was restricting progress. Based on the strength of their trading history and financial performance, we were able to refinance the facility at a lower interest rate and over a longer term, significantly improving affordability.
This restructure not only reduced monthly repayments but also created headroom to increase the overall funding amount, providing additional working capital to support the company’s expansion plans.
The new unsecured business loan gave the directors the confidence to move forward with their long-term strategy, enabling investment in:
- A new, professionally designed website
- A targeted marketing campaign
- The recruitment of additional staff to support growth
The Results
The refinance and additional funding delivered immediate and lasting benefits for the business, including:
- Reduced monthly repayments, improving cashflow and affordability
- Lower overall borrowing costs through a more competitive interest rate
- Additional capital to reinvest in growth and expansion
With the new funding in place, London Cabinet Makers successfully launched their new website, londoncabinetmakers.com, opened a dedicated showroom to showcase their collections, and expanded their team with the appointment of a Business Development and Marketing Executive.
This flexible funding solution has given the business the financial stability and freedom to grow their brand, reach new markets, and scale their operations in a sustainable and confident way.
