When a luxury British restaurant with an exciting business plan needed start-up business funding to make their vision a reality, they approached Millbrook Business Finance. As an expert business finance specialist, Millbrook was able to help them navigate the business finance landscape, make sense of lending criteria, and provide the funds needed to get the business off the ground.
Client background
The fledgling restaurant, based in Cheltenham, aimed to provide a high-quality dining experience in a prestigious location, but as a new start-up business within the leisure and hospitality sector, it needed assistance raising the required capital.
The challenge
The restaurant faced the daunting task of raising £1M in start-up business funding for a comprehensive fit-out, which included intangible assets, such as catering equipment, furniture, signage, lighting, and flooring. Moreover, the restaurant needed a flexible payment plan to manage its capital without overburdening its cash flow.
The solution: Start-up business funding with asset finance and business loans combined
By partnering with Millbrook Business Finance, a specialist in start-up business funding solutions, the restaurant secured funding through a combination of asset finance and unsecured commercial loans. The repayment terms extended to a five-year period, enabling the business to arrange staged payments and thus better manage its cash flow.
The results
Drawing on our industry-specific expertise and extensive pool of UK lenders, Millbrook was able to successfully arrange £1M through a combined funding solution that included asset finance and unsecured commercial loan funding. This tailored start-up business funding solution enabled the restaurant to implement its extensive business plan with ease and finally turn its dreams into reality.
