## The growth challenge

Astatine was scaling in a sector where growth is directly tied to execution. In energy infrastructure, contracts can be large, delivery timelines can be long, and the investment required to mobilise people, equipment and project delivery often comes before revenue is fully realised.

That made Astatine’s growth both exciting and demanding. The business moved from €250,000 in first-year revenue to €96 million in signed orders, creating a different kind of challenge: not whether there was demand, but how to keep funding delivery at the same pace as opportunity.

As projects became larger and more complex, the gap between upfront delivery costs and later customer receipts became more important. This was not a weakness in the business. It was the reality of scaling in a capital-intensive sector where momentum can create pressure before it creates cash.

Traditional funding routes were not naturally built around that stage of growth. Banks often require longer trading history and predictable cashflow. Equity can bring capital, but it also introduces dilution and more complexity around decision-making. Astatine needed a way to keep moving without slowing the business down or giving up control

## The partnership

Astatine needed more than access to capital. It needed a funding structure that matched how the business actually operated: project-led, fast-moving and built around contracts where investment and revenue did not always arrive at the same time.

Financefair provided a revolving line of credit aligned to Astatine’s delivery cycle. The facility gave the business access to capital when upfront costs needed to be funded, with the flexibility to repay as customer receipts came in and continue using the facility as new growth opportunities emerged.

That structure mattered because it removed friction from the moments where speed was important. Instead of pausing between contract wins and delivery, or raising equity earlier than needed, Astatine could continue scaling with funding that moved alongside the business.

The relationship was also part of the value. Financefair understood the commercial model quickly, responded when funding was needed, and supported the business as a long-term partner rather than a one-off lender. For a company growing at Astatine’s pace, that meant funding became part of the operating rhythm, not another obstacle to manage.

## The outcome

With funding aligned to how the business operated, **Astatine** could keep momentum while delivering larger and more complex projects. **Financefair** did not create the opportunity; Astatine had already built the capability, demand and team. The role of funding was to support execution at the point where growth could otherwise have been constrained by cashflow timing.

The business was able to bridge working capital gaps, deliver large-scale energy infrastructure projects without cashflow disruption, take on larger contracts with confidence, and maintain full ownership and strategic control throughout its growth journey.

Today, Astatine has scaled to €100M+ in contracted revenue, with continued expansion ahead. The ambition was already there. Financefair helped ensure the funding structure could keep pace with it.
