Hannah Woodgates Hair Design is a salon based in Bude, Cornwall. The business attracted attention by using social media to advertise their contemporary hair styling, unique in the area.
In 2016 the business secured £4,500 in funding and then a second round of £9,000 in 2017 from British Business Investments partner Liberis’ Business Cash Advance Programme. Hannah found that the FinTech-enabled automatic repayments made the funding facility easy to manage.
Thanks to this additional finance, the business now looks forward to expanding its premises, hiring
more stylists and opening a new outlet in Plymouth.
