How a VAT Loan Empowered an East Lancashire Confectionery Business to Thrive

The Client

This family-run business, located in East Lancashire, boasts over 25 years of experience in supplying confectionery products to prominent UK high street retailers. In addition to their core offerings, they specialise in sorting, packaging, labelling, and handwork for dry-food and household goods. With a commitment to quality, they operate advanced machinery, including multihead machines, in a dedicated ‘clean’ dry-food area. The company serves a diverse clientele, ranging from local enterprises to large blue-chip corporations, and has strategically focused its operations to enhance profitability in a competitive market.

The Challenge

Following a strategic shift in their business model, the company needed financial support to ease cash flow pressures during a transitional period. Moving away from handling stock orders on behalf of clients, they streamlined operations to focus on packaging services. However, this shift impacted short-term revenue, prompting the need for a flexible funding solution to support day-to-day operations and ensure long-term growth.
