£500k Venture Debt Bridges Seasonal Cash Flow for Global Tech Platform

A VC-backed global tech platform sought a £500,000 Venture Debt facility to bridge a seasonal cash flow gap during their peak burn period. FBX Capital leveraged an existing advisory relationship to quickly secure funding from Wayflyer with a Secured Term Loan structure, eliminating the need for personal guarantees whilst providing competitive terms for a pre-profit business.

The business operates a global tech platform connecting companies seeking marketing exposure with property owners offering live media spaces worldwide. The business manages the entire process from discovery to execution, acting as the critical link between brands and real-world advertising opportunities.

As a VC-backed, pre-profit technology company, the business experiences seasonal cash flow patterns. The December period represents peak cash burn, requiring careful working capital management. Having successfully raised funding through FBX Capital the previous year, the company returned as a portfolio client needing support to navigate another seasonal funding requirement whilst maintaining momentum in their growth trajectory.

The £500,000 Venture Debt facility addressed the company's seasonal cash flow requirements within a compressed timeframe, eliminating personal guarantee exposure whilst maintaining competitive terms. The Secured Term Loan structure demonstrated the value of ongoing advisory relationships and proactive financial management. By securing funding whilst maintaining adequate runway, the company preserved negotiating leverage and achieved optimal terms despite their pre-profit status, enabling continued focus on growth and market expansion.
