Challenge
A leading UK airline with global operations needed to unlock additional liquidity to better manage working capital.
The challenge? Extend payment terms without disrupting vital supplier relationships, and do it without any technology integration or supplier onboarding.
Solution
Liberty Blume Specialty Finance structured a £20m vendor finance facility (now scaled to £80m) that allows the client to extend payment terms up to 120 days.
The solution was tailored to the airline’s requirements:
- Full control of financing sits with the airline company
- Flexible to cater for seasonality of financing needs
- No cost if the facility is unused
- No onboarding or documentation required for suppliers
- No upfront or commitment fees
Results
The solution quickly became part of the airline’s strategic financing pool, scaling 4x since launch and driving measurable impact:
