From surviving to thriving with Sports 4 All
Our Story
S4A (Sports4All) are specialists in active and creative childcare, providing wrap around care and clubs as well as holiday clubs. Their aim is to provide an environment for children that allows them to pursue their interests, with a key focus on sport. The company works with the county council to provide support for schools, as well as directly with parents, where they operate primarily as an e-commerce business, relying on online bookings to take on new customers.
Business owner, Matt, was presented with a range of huge growth opportunities for the business, but they all required cash upfront and a quick funding process. Each time, he used Liberis. These short-term cash injections have allowed him to keep investing in his business for long term growth and reward.
The challenge
An opportunity presented itself for S4A to invest in a new Astro Turf. It would mean the business could operate outdoors in the winter months and open up new revenue streams. The opportunity required investment, and quick access to cash which Matt didn’t have.
Matt describes The Astroturf Project as ‘a bit of a whim’. As with most whims, this meant there wasn’t a huge amount of time to prepare and get things in order. He needed a funding solution that was quick, flexible and easy to implement.
“I plan on using the product every time we have these opportunities to take on new contracts or build new facilities. Liberis is who we will always go to”
Sports4AllMatt- The solution
His most recent experience with Liberis allowed Matt to take on an impressive 7 new contracts, hiring 12 new employees and purchasing additional facilities. The funds were crucial for the growth of the business.
