This case study will delve into how Cubefunder played a crucial role in supporting Rebecca and her business, highlighting the specific ways our partnership has contributed to the growth and success of her venture.
We bring our Double Decker Party Bus to family homes or venues to celebrate children’s parties, we also attend weddings, christenings, family fun days – any place really where children need entertainment.
The beauty of our business is we bring the bus to family homes and venues but there is no mess for the customers as everything takes place on our soft play party bus!
We provide snacks, drinks, and party bags, along with staff to entertain the kids! Our offerings include games, karaoke, and tattoos for the children. Parents can unwind while we supervise and entertain outside the home on our Double Decker Soft Play Bus.
We tend to cover 8 parties a week and we also have a Pamper Bus and a Gaming Van.
In August 2023 just after attending a summer holiday camp our Party bus was parked up unattended in Burnley, we were ready to move on to another party. Sadly a group of teenagers forced access onto our bus in broad daylight and set it on fire, the bus was ruined and we lost everything. Our driver at the time had just popped into a shop nearby, nobody was hurt thankfully.
Our insurers were only able to cover the value of the bus and wouldn’t cover the soft play fittings, we had 95 customers in the pipeline and needed support to find a new bus and get back on the road!
One evening, while on a quest to find the support our business required, I stumbled upon Cubefunder. In today’s landscape, traditional banks often seem disconnected from the needs of small businesses. Recognising the strength of Cubefunder’s business model, I was determined to find an organisation that could provide the assistance we sought.
We liked that Cubefunder was so thorough and proactive and moved the process very quickly, from the minute I met Sienna I felt reassured by their business model and was so thankful I discovered them!
So far the experience has been brilliant, Sienna has made the whole process so easy, visiting us at home and talking us through the process was so straightforward. I’ve been given access to an online portal which makes my payments so transparent and easy to manage!
The funding has given us the platform we needed to turn our business around, without this opportunity we would have been delayed in getting the Party Bus back on the road. We are now able to relaunch and we are absolutely delighted and very thankful that we’ve been given this opportunity.
We are excited to develop a working relationship with Cubefunder.
