Small business owner based in Haydock who’s grown his company using alternative financing.
Back in 2011, Shane noticed a demand for German designed kitchens. He even visited Germany to check it out for himself and realised the high quality design and material the country had to offer. He was so impressed that he told the owners of the company that he was working for that they needed to start selling German kitchens.
From that point onwards, he made a promise to himself to never sell an English kitchen again and set up his own business named German Kitchens. Now, his business supplies German kitchens to all over the country from single residential properties to 190 apartment blocks in Canary Wharf. 
However, running a small business is not a walk in the park. Shane was ready to take his business to the next level but putting together marketing suites in order to show off to his clients the best quality kitchens he has to offer but he needs access to big capital to do so.
This was when Shane turned to iZettle Advance, a new way for small businesses across Europe to obtain access to extra capital by getting an advance on their future card sales. Shane was given an advance of £25,000.
“iZettle has opened the gates to new business. I was able to build marketing suites and off the back of this we’ve been offered million pound deals. iZettle has been our springboard in taking our business to the next step.”
