The Challenge: Meeting demand without sacrificing cash flow

As demand surged, particularly in key export markets such as the USA and Japan, Intrepid Spirits secured several large international orders. While this growth was encouraging, it also placed pressure on their working capital. The company needed immediate access to funds to secure core inputs like liquid, bottles, and production slots—long before they could invoice and receive payment.

The dual challenge was clear:

  • Working capital gaps between order fulfilment and payment.
  • Upfront funding needed for raw materials and production.

The Teybridge Capital Solution

To address these challenges, Teybridge Capital partnered with Intrepid Spirits to deliver a bespoke funding package combining both Invoice Finance and Stock Finance.

Invoice Finance allowed Intrepid Spirits to unlock cash tied up in outstanding invoices from their international debtors, ensuring a healthy cash flow even as they extended credit terms to key distributors and retail partners.

Stock Finance enabled the company to access working capital for purchasing raw materials and booking critical production capacity in advance- without waiting for invoice payments.

Our tailored, dual-facility approach allowed Intrepid Spirits to:

  • Scale production in line with growing global demand.
  • Fulfil larger and more frequent orders without delays.
  • Invest in product innovation, including a new RTD range targeting the US market.

The Results: growth, liquidity, and global rach
