3 businesses who’ve used Lenkie to supercharge revenue

Jun 3, 2025

When small business owners hear the term business credit, their minds often jump to worst-case scenarios - cash flow problems, mounting debt, or struggling to make payroll. 

Credit can be seen as a lifeline only to be used in emergencies, or when absolutely necessary. But what if that thinking is holding your business back? 

In reality, business credit - when used strategically - can be a powerful tool for growth, stability, and long-term success. It’s a smart financial lever that all savvy business owners should know how to pull.

At Lenkie, we’re proud to offer a facility that offers customers maximum flexibility and optionality - you only ever pay for what you use. And lots of our customers use the facility to not only minimise cash flow pain but to maximise growth opportunities. 

Here, we share how three companies are doing just that.

“Lenkie’s credit facility has helped us grow revenue by 43% in six months”

Monga’s is a rapidly growing designer brand focused on the Indian wedding market. Like many retailers that rely on international suppliers, its success brings unique cash flow challenges. 

The business frequently purchases stock from suppliers in India, then ships it to the UK for sale both in-store and online. This process demands substantial working capital - and with long gaps between purchasing inventory and making a sale, managing cash flow is a constant balancing act.

Having first started working with Lenkie just under a year ago, Monga’s has successfully used our facility to continually purchase stock without depleting cash - enabling phenomenal scale. 

As MD Ankit Monga says: “Lenkie’s credit facility has helped us grow revenue by 43% in six months”.

What’s more, Lenkie has scaled with the business as it grows, providing access to 200% more credit since day one. 

A key growth enabler

Scottish renewable energy firm Optama is an installation provider working to help homes across Scotland reduce running costs and become more sustainable.

Like many businesses in the sector, Optama deals with significant up-front expenses - covering equipment purchases, site installations, and compliance checks - while often waiting weeks or months for payment.

Lenkie’s revolving credit facility has eased these cash flow pressures, enabling the business to take on more projects and increase revenue. In a competitive and fast-moving industry, having the flexibility to scale through volume has been a major advantage.

Graham Latta, director at Optama, explains:

“We have been working with the team at Lenkie for 2 years. They have been a key enabler in allowing us to grow our business. The technology innovations ensure that the user experience is excellent, with them continually adding new features to support businesses such as ours.”

Compounding inventory to supercharge revenue 5x

For e-commerce phone retailer Inc Tablet Lenkie has been instrumental in enabling the business to hold more inventory. Specialising in reselling broken, refurbished, and recirculated Apple products on platforms like BackMarket and Amazon, the business relies heavily on having stock ready to meet demand.

Owner Adam Hamdoud has worked with us for the past two years, using the facility strategically to gain leverage when purchasing inventory. As he explains:

“Using the facility on loop normally provides the most benefit since you get to consistently compound the inventory. I was reluctant at first to use the facility but now implementing it strategically into our business model has seen a fantastic increase in revenue.

“Since starting with Lenkie, we were running at £400,000-£800,000 sales and we are now on par to reach £2.4m in sales.”

By compounding inventory, the business can circulate stock multiple times before repayment is due - a key strategy in driving revenue growth. 

In addition, increased purchasing power gives Inc Tablet stronger negotiating ability with suppliers, helping them secure better rates.

If you’re looking for a credit line that grows with you, we could help you access a facility of up to £1m in just 48 hours.
