Case Study | Funding & Turnaround

# £3.8m funding secured to stabilise a business with less than three months of runway

A cash-constrained SME needed urgent funding, lender engagement and a credible turnaround route.

## The situation

Project Xenon approached Branta during a period of sustained underperformance.

Trading losses were rapidly consuming cash, leaving the business with just three to four months before insolvency.

The funding requirement was urgent — and too complex for a standard finance process.

£3.8m

### Funding secured

Structured to stabilise the business and support turnaround.

## The challenge

- Cash runway rapidly reducing
- Existing lender needed to be repaid
- New funding required quickly
- Turnaround plan needed support
- High risk of insolvency if delayed

This was not a clean funding request. It required commercial judgement and proper structuring.

## What Branta did

- Assessed liquidity and survival runway
- Structured funding requirement
- Engaged appropriate lenders
- Handled lender concerns
- Supported negotiations
- Drove the process to completion

### More than a broker

The key was not just introducing lenders, but turning a difficult situation into a credible, fundable story.

## The outcome

- £3.8m new funding secured
- £2.4m cash generated
- Incumbent lender repaid
- 100+ jobs preserved
- Business stabilised

“Branta’s skilful advice and knowledge solved a key financing problem for us. They worked as an integral part of our team and fought for us when we needed them to.”

## If a funding situation is becoming difficult, it’s worth speaking early

A short conversation can quickly clarify what options are available.
