Viv Parry, MD of Exquisite Handmade Cakes Ltd recently spoke at rebuildingsociety.com’s Crowdfunding Roadshow at The Carriageworks in Leeds.
Viv is visibly passionate about her business, so when she decided the business required a £50,000 cake-portioning machine to compete more effectively in the coffee shop industry, she wasn’t prepared to take no for an answer. She turned to rebuildingsociety.com, successfully engaged its audience of individual lenders and secured a loan to help the business grow.
As Viv explains, the experience has transformed her view of what is possible through peer-to-business lending, including employees supporting their business, and given her fresh belief in her own ability as a business owner.
