Seafood Business Nets Better Cashflow with Invoice Finance

Introduction

This case study features a family-run manufacturer of value-added fish and seafood products, supplying restaurants and supermarkets across the UK.

From their beginnings as fishermen and fishmongers, they’ve grown into a substantial business while keeping their focus on quality, value for money and great customer service.

The Challenge: Funding Limits and Cashflow Pressure

As the business expanded, their existing finance provider became a barrier to growth. The funding on offer was limited, and credit control on their sales ledger was poor. Invoices were often pushed back for them to chase, creating unnecessary delays.

To make matters worse, the company began hitting concentration limits with some of their bigger customers. Their lender responded by tightening funding even further. The knock-on effect was serious: cashflow dropped, and paying suppliers for essential fish and seafood became a real struggle.

The Solution: Swift Support from Regency Factors

Regency moved quickly to put a new invoice finance facility in place and repay the previous lender. Our experienced credit control team got straight to work, improving collections and freeing up much-needed working capital.

The results were immediate. Cashflow improved, suppliers were paid on time, and the business could focus once again on what it does best—producing high-quality seafood products and serving its growing customer base.
