Can-D Food came to First Tier Consultants with an innovative new food product but no experience in either the food sector or manufacturing. They joined the First Tier Start-Up program to get help in the development of costings, budgets and a very well put together business plan.

With First Tier’s help, Can-D Food was able to take advantage of the maximum amount of funding available on the government start-up enterprise loans scheme. With this initial investment, Can-D Food developed the product and established that it was fit for the market and safe. When the time came for new investment, First Tier was on hand to advise and help the management team to negotiate the world of investors and shareholders.

“We have successfully raised a substantial investment in a newly established company with very little sales and just a great idea. First Tier has been absolutely fundamental to our success and establishment as a company that is taken seriously in the market. We look forward to working with them through their Scale-Up program and an exciting future as we continue to expand.”
