Case Study: Daniel's Delights achieves faster cash flow and scalable supplier payments with Lenkie

Daniel's Delights Financing a family-owned chocolatier

Daniel's Delights, a family-owned UK chocolatier, faced a significant cash-flow gap due to volatile cocoa prices, lengthy payment cycles from large supermarket contracts, and the capital needed for eCommerce expansion. Their challenge was to secure instant working capital to pay their suppliers promptly. They came to Lenkie for a credit facility to sit alongside their existing finance options.

Lenkie provided a flexible, fixed-price credit facility with no subscription or non-usage fees. This solution from Lenkie allowed Daniel's Delights to instantly pay their cocoa suppliers, which became critically important when cocoa prices trebled. With reliable access to capital, the business secured the number one Amazon ranking for Easter Eggs in 2024 and is well-positioned to master seasonal sales algorithms for further eCommerce growth.
