Partnership Invoice Finance gets animated

Partnership Invoice Finance were really pleased to be introduced by a well known Corporate Finance business to the directors of Darkside Studios Ltd, a London based animated film production company. The business has a fantastic 16 year history of working with some of the major brands in the UK and around the world, with the scope of their work ranging from really top end promotional films through to full length animated film production.

Following a period of ownership under a group structure the directors were looking to acquire the business from the group and as part of the funding package were looking for an invoice finance facility to help fund their future cashflow requirements.

As part of the acquisition the directors were taking over their fully equipped, state of the art production facility and the existing team were all able to stay in place working for the existing customer base. All they needed to get the deal completed was a quick turnaround from an invoice finance company, which is something we at Partnership Invoice Finance were able to offer.

The finance director at Darkside Studio, Keith Reeves, commented:

“Having purchased the business from our parent company in late December 2015, we were keen to press on and grow our sales but realised that cashflow was going to be critical to our success, particularly in the early days. We had been introduced to Partnership Invoice Finance but also wanted to explore other options in order to be sure that we were making the right decision. Having done this and confirmed that Partnership were indeed the best fit for our business, they were able to get the facility up an running in a matter of a few days, meaning we were all set for the end of our first months trading. We found the whole experience very easy and stress free and are now looking forward to a successful long term business relationship with a truly supportive funding partner.”

Joe Waters, sales director at Partnership Invoice Finance, added:

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to partner with such a prestigious client and support their imaginative work with a host of world leading film and production companies. What I relish and find most satisfying about Partnerships approach is that I get to meet and support business owners with real drive and determination to make their venture a true market leader in their area of expertise. There is no question that Darkside Studios is one such business.”
