What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Emma Grede invested £90,000 for a 20% equity stake in the food business Lumberjaxe. Lumberjaxe, which sells seasonings and sauces at retailers including Asda and Aldi, recently secured a deal to supply 80,000 units of sauce across 1,050 Aldi stores. Despite this large order, the company encountered a cash-flow crisis because high-street banks refused to provide working capital before payment.
