Logistic Designs Ltd, a Nottingham-based specialist in architectural fabrication and laser cutting, has successfully obtained a financial solution aimed at addressing its cash flow challenges as the company looks to expand its operations in a competitive market. Known for its innovative approach to producing a diverse array of steel and metal products, the firm has faced significant difficulties stemming from a mismatch between the payment terms set by suppliers and the lengthy payment cycles typical of its customers. The company operates primarily in two key sectors: subcontract laser work for industries such as engineering, rail, and shopfitting, and an increasingly important focus on crafting audio-visual enclosures for retailers and transportation hubs. While Logistic Designs has built a solid reputation within these niches and employs a dedicated team of 10 individuals, it has struggled to maintain a consistent cash flow due to suppliers demanding swift payments, often while customers take anywhere from 30 to 60 days to settle their invoices. As a relatively new startup, Logistic Designs encountered limitations with credit terms from suppliers, which exacerbated the cash flow gap and hindered its ability to procure essential materials, pay wages, and cover other operational expenses. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the company sought assistance from Evolve Business Finance, a financial services firm specializing in helping businesses overcome cash flow issues. Stef Radymski, a director at Evolve Business Finance, assessed the situation and identified invoice discounting as the most suitable solution for Logistic Designs. This financial facility allows businesses to access up to 90% of their invoice value immediately, thereby providing the necessary working capital to sustain operations without interruption. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Evolve quickly connected Logistic Designs with Time Finance, which offered a confidential invoice discounting facility designed to alleviate the financial strain caused by delayed customer payments. Kim Wallis, the finance manager at Logistic Designs, expressed her appreciation for the swift and effective solution provided by Evolve. "Evolve did exactly what we needed," she stated. "Stef is very professional and is clearly well-versed in challenges like ours. The funding has taken a huge weight off our shoulders and means we can keep pushing forward." Radymski further commented on the potential of Logistic Designs, stating, "Logistic Designs is an interesting business with a strong future. Its ability to manufacture everything from high-end yacht fittings to steel enclosures for ticket kiosks sets it apart. With invoice discounting in place, it now has the financial flexibility to keep growing." Supporting the narrative, Simon Holian, business development manager at Time Finance, remarked, "We were pleased to support this family-owned business with its growth plans. Having the right working capital partner was important, and Evolve Business Finance quickly identified the needs of the business, allowing us to deliver a solution without delay." The strategic partnership between Evolve Business Finance and Time Finance exemplifies how tailored financial solutions can assist young companies like Logistic Designs in navigating the complexities of cash flow management while pursuing ambitious growth goals. As the market continues to evolve, such support could be vital for similar businesses facing comparable challenges in the architectural and manufacturing sectors.
