The Challenges
Competition
Navigating the intense competition during Black Friday and the holiday season, where femtasy's digital offerings face stiff competition from the high demand for physical gifts.
Marketing
The importance of adapting marketing strategies to effectively compete during peak shopping periods whilst ensuring femtasy remains a strong contender.
Creditworthiness and Financing Rounds
Demonstrating positive creditworthiness for traditional bank loans. Avoiding stressful, time-consuming financing rounds leads to searching for an interim solution that maintains equity.
Financial Flexibility
The necessity for secure and flexible cash flow to support these strategic transformations to help enable femtasy to manage and take advantage of opportunities during critical sales times. With 40 people on board, femtasy was reluctant to take risks.
“Black Friday and the holiday season are challenging times for us. Our product usually has little chance against physical gifts that are popular. Being able to adjust our marketing budget accordingly requires a certain level of cash flow security. Silver provides us with exactly this security.”
Michael Holzner, Co-founder
The Solution
A non-dilutive Solution
femtasy sought Silvr to overcome peak season financial challenges, valuing the cash flow security without giving up equity.
Choosing the simplest lending Solution
Silvr's appeal lies in its straightforward, practical approach and reliable service, offering an efficient funding process.
Effortless Setup and Compliance
The process was easy, with quick setup, minimal compliance efforts, and fast responses, highlighting Silvr as an ideal partner.
Personalized Support
Choosing a lender who offers a personal touch takes away many stresses. Having a personal Account Manager with Silvr means they truly understand client needs.
Silvr was interesting because we couldn't demonstrate positive creditworthiness for a traditional bank loan. At the same time, we wanted to avoid entering a financing round. Those can be stressful and highly time-consuming. So, we looked for an interim solution that wouldn't cost us equity.
