Q: What Challenges Prompted You to Seek Finance?

OLSIGHTS: We encountered a severe cashflow crunch due to unfulfilled contractual expectations. This unexpected financial strain jeopardised our ability to meet critical operational costs and maintain project momentum. The risk of insolvency became a pressing concern, prompting the urgent need for external financial support.

Cashflow Crunch:

  • As a major client failed to deliver on a critical contract, we experienced a cashflow crunch which caused a significant shortfall in expected revenue.

Financial Instability:

  • The unexpected loss of revenue led to financial instability, making it difficult to cover essential expenses such as salaries, operational costs, and ongoing project commitments. This situation risked the company falling behind on obligations and potentially facing insolvency.

As a startup, OLSIGHTS had limited financial reserves to cushion against such disruptions. The company’s ambitious growth plans, including projects in clean energy, hydrogen, and carbon capture, required consistent cash flow, which was jeopardised by the delayed client payments.

To address these challenges, OLSIGHTS sought a short-term loan with Nucleus – Nucleus Business Loan. The goal was to bridge the gap between delayed payments and the company’s financial obligations, ensuring continued operations and project progress.

Feedback

TrustPilot Review:

“The process was very smooth, and efficient. I appreciate their use of open banking processes. The interaction was effortless, with timely responses and excellent underwriting was provided for our financial situation.”

While we found the bundling of the arrangement fee with the principal amount to result in higher amortisation costs, this was a minor concern compared to the overall positive experience. Nucleus provided essential support during a critical time, demonstrating their commitment to helping SMEs overcome financial hurdles.
