Case Study: Chinley Cheese improves cash flow and seasonal stock planning with Hokodo

How Hokodo helps Chinley Cheese thrive as a seasonal business

Chinley Cheese, a unique local store and post office, faced seasonal cash flow challenges due to the high upfront cost of stocking premium food and wine for peak periods like Christmas. Jonathan Berger, the owner, needed a way to ease this financial burden without increasing prices for his customers. He discovered Hokodo's deferred payment service while ordering stock online.

By implementing Hokodo's solution, Chinley Cheese gained access to a free credit facility, allowing payment for stock in 30 or 60 days. This improved their cash flow, eliminated the stress of high-interest credit cards, and even enabled the business to resume experimenting with new products from diverse suppliers. Hokodo provided the necessary financial flexibility for this seasonal business to thrive.
