Case Study: Made With Local scales nationally and pays suppliers faster with FundThrough

Made With Local expands to 450 Loblaws stores nationwide with FundThrough

Made With Local, a growing snack bar company, faced a significant cash flow challenge due to rapid national expansion into major grocery chains. As a principle, they paid their suppliers and social enterprise production partners immediately, but they themselves had to wait weeks or months to get paid by retailers. This created a financial strain, especially during large inventory "load-in" periods, making it difficult to fund ingredients and payroll. To solve this, they turned to FundThrough for invoice factoring to get paid faster.

FundThrough provided an intuitive factoring service that allowed Made With Local to receive payment on their invoices the next day. This solution gave them the immediate cash flow needed to pay their suppliers on time without burdening them with the cost of the company's growth. The speed and agility of the service were a huge win, providing not just financial benefits but also mental peace of mind. This allowed the founders to maintain a healthy, agile business mindset and make smarter decisions, ultimately supporting their holistic company values and rapid growth.
