Mtech Communications: Funding the growth of an award-winning telecoms provider

When your business is built on keeping other businesses connected, standing still isn't an option. Mtech Communications, an award-winning telecoms provider based in Christchurch, Dorset, has grown rapidly by doing the basics brilliantly - honest advice, responsive support, and communications solutions that just work. Lenkie's credit facility now gives the team the working capital to match that momentum, funding the costs of growth the moment a new opportunity lands.

Telecoms with a personal touch

Established in 2018 by directors with over two decades of experience in the telecoms industry, Mtech Communications set out to disrupt the status quo with an unwaveringly customer-centric approach. Today the business supports companies of all sizes across the UK - from Aberdeen to Penzance - with a comprehensive suite of solutions spanning cloud-based telephony, business broadband and connectivity, calls and lines, and flexible business mobile plans.

It's an approach that customers notice. With a 4.9 Trustpilot rating built on hundreds of reviews, Mtech has earned a reputation as the antidote to the faceless telecoms giants - approachable, efficient, and honest to the core. As the team puts it: when you join the Mtech family, you'll never want to switch providers again.

And the market is moving their way. With the UK's analogue phone network being switched off, businesses everywhere are migrating to cloud-based telephony and faster connectivity - exactly the transition Mtech was built to deliver.

The cash flow challenge of a fast-growing telecoms business

Growth in telecoms has a particular shape: the costs come first, and the revenue follows. Every new customer win means upfront investment - hardware, engineering, provisioning, licences and supplier costs - before the first monthly invoice is ever raised. Revenue then builds steadily over the life of each contract.

That model is fantastic for building a resilient, recurring-revenue business. But it means the faster you grow, the more cash you commit today against income that arrives over the months ahead. For an ambitious provider juggling multiple projects and onboarding new customers every week, working capital becomes the throttle on growth - and slow, inflexible funding from traditional lenders only tightens it.

How Lenkie helped

Mtech Communications was set up with a Lenkie credit facility in 2026. The facility allows the business to pay suppliers and project costs instantly, while spreading repayments over 1 to 12 months - matching the rhythm of a recurring-revenue business, where today's fulfilment costs are covered by tomorrow's contracted income.

The facility went to work quickly, supporting supplier payments across the multiple projects Mtech has underway. Speed has been the standout benefit: when a growth opportunity appears, the team can move on it immediately rather than waiting on their own cash position - or on a lender's timetable.

The structure fits, too. As a revolving facility, every repayment tops Mtech's available balance back up, providing a continuous line of credit without re-applying. There are no subscription or non-usage fees, so the facility costs nothing to hold - Mtech only ever pays for the funding it uses. And with Lenkie's continuous underwriting, the facility is built to scale as the business grows.

Staying connected to growth

The future looks busy for Mtech Communications. With businesses across the UK racing to upgrade their communications ahead of the analogue switch-off, demand for the company's cloud telephony, connectivity and mobile solutions is only set to grow. With Lenkie's facility behind them, Martin and the team have the funding flexibility to keep winning customers, delivering projects, and building on the reputation that got them here.

We look forward to backing Mtech Communications every step of the way.
