Overview
Who is Roseground?
Roseground is a fast-growing hospitality group that supplies fresh ingredients and ready-made meals to independent cafés, offices, and events teams across London. As demand grew, so did the pressure on working capital: larger orders meant higher supplier costs long before customer payments arrived.
The finance team had strong demand and reliable customers, but traditional funding options were too slow or too rigid for the day-to-day realities of supplier purchasing. They needed a flexible way to pay invoices quickly without interrupting operations or taking focus away from customers.
The Problem
Growth created pressure on supplier payments
Seasonal peaks made purchasing unpredictable. The team often had to commit to larger stock orders before revenue had fully landed, leaving them to choose between delaying growth opportunities or negotiating with suppliers under pressure.
The process also created unnecessary admin: every payment decision needed manual review, cashflow forecasts changed daily, and the team lacked a single clear view of when invoices could be paid.
Keeping stock moving: the team reviews supplier orders on the shop floor.
The Solution
Turning to Lenkie
Lenkie gave Roseground a simple way to pay supplier invoices immediately and spread the cost over time. Instead of waiting for customers to pay, the finance team could keep purchasing moving, maintain supplier trust, and protect cash reserves for daily operations.
The setup was designed around the team’s existing workflow: invoices could be uploaded quickly, reviewed clearly, and paid without adding more complexity to month-end finance routines.
Implementation
01
Needs assessment and invoice workflow review — Lenkie mapped the team’s supplier purchasing cadence and repayment preferences.
02
Supplier payments went live — invoices were uploaded and settled directly, giving the team a clearer payment schedule.
03
Ongoing optimisation — repayment terms and purchasing patterns were reviewed so the facility continued matching business needs.
Results
More confidence, fewer payment bottlenecks
With Lenkie, Roseground could take on larger opportunities without slowing down procurement. The finance team gained clearer visibility over payment schedules, suppliers were paid faster, and operational conversations shifted from “can we afford this order?” to “how quickly can we fulfil it?”
The partnership also helped leadership plan ahead. By smoothing purchasing costs over predictable repayment windows, the team could invest in growth while keeping day-to-day working capital stable.
Planning the next phase of growth with cash flow no longer a blocker.
“It’s inspiring to support a team that knows exactly where growth is coming from. Lenkie simply removed the friction between demand and delivery.”
Sanjeev Jeyakumar
CEO, Lenkie
Takeaway
Roseground’s story shows how flexible supplier finance can unlock growth without forcing small businesses into rigid funding cycles. By pairing fast invoice payments with predictable repayment terms, Lenkie helped the team turn demand into momentum.

Product Spotlight: Lenkie's Innovations
At Lenkie, we’re always looking for ways to make things easier for our customers. This month, we wanted to highlight two product features we've introduced to improve efficiency and security.
Invoice Forwarding: Smarter, Faster Invoice Processing
We built an Invoice Forwarding feature to solve a common challenge for businesses—time-consuming, error-prone invoice submissions. Manually entering invoice details slows down operations and increases the risk of mistakes, creating unnecessary friction in financial workflows.
With automated data extraction, Lenkie captures key invoice details—supplier name, amount, currency, and bank information—eliminating manual entry, reducing errors, and saving valuable time.
This feature is already making a difference, with millions of pounds in invoices processed since its launch. As we continue refining the technology, expect even faster processing, increased accuracy, and broader invoice format compatibility.
Watch it in action! See how Lenkie’s Invoice Forwarding feature streamlines invoice submissions, eliminates manual entry and speeds up processing. Check out the video below
