John Walker: Chairman
TINDERBOX provides working capital funding to help growing UK businesses. Our flagship product is Selective Invoice Sale – a flexible, simple and intelligent way to fund your business in today’s commercial environment.
We work with businesses that are keen to invest and grow:
- Owner-managed businesses or angel or venture capital-backed
businesses, with ambitions to grow.
- Businesses that need periodic short-term working capital funding rather than continuous core funding.
- Trading mainly with UK-based customers or major international businesses and selling to substantially larger and creditworthy organisations.
- With sales of at least £250k. You don’t need to be profitable yet, but you should be earning good gross margins.
We deliberately cover a wide range of industries and sectors. The common characteristics are that they tend to be in growing markets where our clients can make good margins. Sectors we are particularly interested in include: high value manufacturing, software/services, technology, healthcare products and services, consulting, media (film, TV, digital), marketing and PR, distribution, and executive search. Otherwise we have no formal sector bias, except that we do not deal with construction-related businesses.
We typically purchase individual invoices of between £10,000 and £50,000 each, as part of a maximum overall transaction size of between £10,000 and £100,000.
