Silvr Use Case

Working Capital

Flotte, launched in 2020 by Lyly and Mickaël, is a green fashion brand making waves in the sustainable fashion industry with its colorful and eco-friendly clothing raincoats. The company's commitment to using recycled materials and ethical production methods has positioned it as a rising star in the eco-friendly apparel market.

The Challenges

Rapid Growth Management

Flotte experienced quick success, leading to increased working capital requirements (WCR) and the need for efficient inventory management.

Marketing Expansion

To capitalize on growing brand recognition, Flotte needed to significantly increase its marketing budget without compromising financial stability.

Omnichannel Strategy Implementation

Balancing online sales with physical retail presence required careful financial planning and resource allocation.

Mickaël, Co-Founder

The Solution

Strategic Use of a Business Loan

The funds provided by Silvr were used specifically to implement an omnichannel strategy in marketing and inventory management.

Phased Funding Approach

Silvr provided €20k in initial funding, followed by a €25k second loan, allowing Flotte to scale operations gradually and efficiently.

“Silvr is an obvious way to scale without over-leveraging or diluting your capital.”

Mickaël, Co-Founder

The Results

Exponential Marketing Growth

Flotte increased its marketing budget fourfold, significantly boosting its customer acquisition campaigns and retargeting efforts.

Enhanced Inventory Management

The increased cash flow allowed for more intelligent inventory management, crucial during periods of high order influx.

Team and Product Expansion

Flotte grew its team by at least 33% and expanded its product catalog, diversifying its offerings.

Increased Digital Presence

New digital marketing campaigns strengthened Flotte's online visibility and customer engagement.

“We multiplied our acquisition budget fourfold to match our strong growth.”
