The Background
At Hexa Finance, we focus on delivering practical financial solutions that empower local businesses. Coffee Cart Co., an existing Hexa customer, began its journey in 1999 with a small cart in Hereford city centre. Founders James and Sarah wanted to create a unique experience for their community, combining high-quality coffee with a welcoming atmosphere.
Over the years, their passion and commitment transformed Coffee Cart Co. into a well-loved establishment with three thriving locations. Their latest location at Symonds Yat Rock has been an exciting addition, bringing their signature coffee experience to a popular destination in the Wye Valley.
The Requirements
When Coffee Cart Co. planned to open their new location at Symonds Yat Rock, they had several requirements in terms of financial support:
Managing start-up costs: Balancing the costs of opening a new location while maintaining operations at existing sites posed a financial challenge.
Fitting out the space: Creating a functional and inviting environment in the existing building required a significant investment in bespoke interiors and equipment.
Investing in equipment: High-quality coffee machines and other essential equipment were needed to maintain their reputation for excellence.
The Solutions
Hexa Finance partnered with Coffee Cart Co. to provide customised financial solutions that supported the successful launch of their Symonds Yat Rock location:
- Asset Finance: We facilitated asset finance to fund the purchase of state-of-the-art coffee-making equipment and bespoke fit-outs for the new café.
- Tailored financial planning: Our team worked closely with Coffee Cart Co. to ensure the financing matched their cash flow needs and growth plans.
Through this partnership, Coffee Cart Co. was able to open their Symonds Yat Rock location on time and without overstretching their budget.
The Feedback
James and Sarah shared their thoughts on working with Hexa Finance:
“Hexa Finance made the process of opening our Symonds Yat Rock location so much smoother. They understood our vision and helped us secure the funding we needed to make it a reality. The asset finance was instrumental in allowing us to invest in the right equipment, and the sale and leaseback arrangement gave us the flexibility to manage our costs effectively. The Hexa team was incredibly friendly and always on hand to answer our questions, making the entire experience stress-free. Their support has been invaluable.”
