The story in short
- 19 invoices funded since October 2024
- 15 invoices funded in 2024, their first year
- 8 invoices in their busiest month, October 2024
- 1 increase to their funding limit
The gap
Online and market sales bring cash in as they happen. Wholesale doesn’t: venues get an invoice and pay on terms, while the distillery keeps making gin to keep them supplied.
Growth made the gap sharper, because wholesale customers arrived faster than the cash behind them. The owner wanted to tap that invoiced income to keep supply steady.
How they use FundTap
The owner joined in October 2024 and funded 15 invoices before the year was out, eight of them in October. Nothing was funded through 2025.
In January 2026 the owner funded four more, after a year with none. The venues pay the distillery as normal and aren’t contacted.

What’s changed
In all, they have funded 19 invoices across three months, and the funding limit has been raised once.
The account sat idle for a year and was ready when the owner returned to it. That suits a business that sells in several ways.
