Empowering Established Brands: Our Bridge Funding Success Story

At Rikvin Capital, we are committed to helping businesses achieve their goals and dreams. We take pride in partnering with established brands to provide them with the financial support they need to thrive and expand. One recent success story that we are thrilled to share with you is our involvement in the launch of a prime Italian coffee outlet in the heart of Raffles Place.

The Brand and the Vision

Our client, an established brand with a passion for premium coffee experiences, approached us with an ambitious plan to bring the taste of Italy to the bustling financial district of Singapore. Their vision was clear: to create a welcoming space where professionals, tourists, and coffee enthusiasts alike could savor the finest Italian coffee and experience the charm of Raffles Place.

The Bridge Funding Solution

To turn this vision into reality, our client needed immediate working capital. That’s where we stepped in with our bridge funding expertise. Our team worked closely with the brand to understand their financial needs, growth plans, and market dynamics. We structured a tailored bridge funding solution that allowed them to secure the prime location, hire skilled baristas, source high-quality coffee beans, and set up a top-notch Italian coffee outlet.

The Grand Opening

With our support, the Italian coffee outlet in Raffles Place became a reality. The grand opening was a tremendous success, attracting coffee lovers from all walks of life. The brand’s commitment to quality and our financial assistance proved to be a winning combination, resulting in a thriving business that continues to grow and serve the community.

This success story underscores our commitment to empowering established brands with the financial resources they need to achieve their goals. By providing bridge funding, we enable businesses to seize opportunities, execute expansion plans, and thrive in competitive markets.

FAQ

Can Rikvin Capital fund a new outlet launch for an established brand?

Yes. We provide working-capital loans to established F&B, retail and hospitality brands launching or expanding outlets. The Italian coffee outlet at Raffles Place is one example: we structured a tailored facility that covered location lease, fit-out, hiring and stock so the brand could open on schedule.

What working capital uses do you typically support?

Common uses include premises lease commitments, fit-out and equipment, initial stock or inventory, hiring and pre-opening payroll, and marketing for launch. We are flexible on the deployment so long as the loan is secured by an asset (property, share pledge or strong personal guarantee) and there is a clear repayment source.

How is a brand-expansion loan structured?

Usually a short-term facility (6 to 18 months) with monthly interest payments, exiting via either operating cash flow once the new outlet is trading or a long-term bank facility once trading numbers are established. Loan size is sized to the brand's wider asset base and the project budget.
