INSIGHT FROM OUR BORROWERS
Testimonial
Aidan Rushby
Carmoola
“BCI have been tremendously supportive of Carmoola from day one. They really understood our business model and were able to provide us with imaginative debt facilities that were specifically tailored to our needs during our crucial launch phase.
BCI enabled us to progress to the next stage of development, raising our Series A funding round and implementing a senior debt facility, with BCI now participating with a mezzanine facility. We are extremely grateful for their flexibility and continued support.”
