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.
