“As Finance Director I drove the election of our facility and chose RxBridge. Our previous facility wasn’t bad but it was a generic product bent to fit the needs of pharmacy contractors. RxBridge’s facility has been built from the bottom up specifically to meet the needs of groups like ours. It is designed for pharmacy”
Fred Gourlay, Finance Director, Wellbeing Pharmacies Limited

Their challenge

An original vision to build a group with a Scottish footprint was adjusted to enable the group to predominantly grow through acquiring new licences in England. Like many expanding groups, Wellbeing Pharmacies Limited found it tough, with cashflow being an issue partly due to cuts in remuneration and partly as they wanted to maintain available funds for their internal projects (including technology solutions requiring considerable investment).
With no support from traditional lenders, the group used their RxBridge facility to add to the estate and negotiate advantageous deals. 

Our solution

Our working capital finance helped operationally, allowing Wellbeing Pharmacies to balance books across group companies. Our facility provided flexible limits, predictable quantums and high levels of responsiveness from the RxBridge team making it easy to use and manage. 

RxBridge provides pharmacies with:

  •  The funding you need to make an impact.
  • The freedom to make the investment
    decisions that you choose.
  • Financing that grows as you grow.
  • Support from people who live and breathe your world.
"RxBridge working capital finance is best in class pharmacy finance for those serious about growth"
