Most funding is built for the two extremes — a bank that wants three years of filings, or an investor who wants a slice of the company. Neither is much use when the thing you need is inventory in eight weeks.
Cresswold sits in the middle. We read the revenue you already have, price a flat fee against it, and send the money. You keep the equity, the board seats and the upside. We get paid back as the sales land.

Price it plainly
One fee, quoted before you apply. If we cannot say what it costs in a sentence, it is too complicated to sell.
Answer the same day
A decision inside working hours, not after a committee meets on Thursday.
Never take the upside
No warrants, no equity kicker, no board seat. The growth we fund stays yours.
