British Business Bank Reviews

The cash flow support loan we received through the Growth Guarantee Scheme was vital for us to bridge the payments and ensure that we could execute our plans without interruption.

We're on a mission to make time spent together better. We want people to feel more alive, more themselves, more together every time they play a Big Potato game. Mobeus is a brilliant backer because they understand our mission. They're as ambitious as we are and helped us think differently about our offering and future growth. This has enabled us to move faster – bringing in key hires, stepping up innovation and opening up new markets – all whilst staying a majority management owned business.

Our success highlights how vital patient capital is for early-stage companies. The British Business Bank’s support, channelled through specialist investors like THENA Capital, helps bridge the financing gap that often constrains early stage MedTech firms. This investment and support have been key to continued growth and success.

The financial support we received came at a pivotal moment for Butternut Box. It allowed us to scale our kitchen and build the operational structure that we needed to deliver a variety of fresh food options to pet owners across the UK. We remain ambitious and will continue to evolve as a business to ensure that we provide the healthiest fresh dog food options for our growing customer base across Europe.

With this funding, we have been able to reinvest in supporting our school partners in creating stable, inspiring classrooms where children can learn and thrive. Schools use Zen Educate to find high-quality educators at significantly lower costs than incumbent competitors across the US and UK.

The Growth Guarantee Scheme backed loan gave us the ability to scale quickly and invest in innovation. It’s helped us move from reactive growth to strategic expansion, positioning us for deeper penetration into US and EU markets.
