Seasonal companies live with a familiar problem: costs land on one timetable and revenue on another. A large bill in a quiet month can squeeze cash that you know will be there once trade picks up. Slice is built for exactly that kind of timing gap.
Where it fits a seasonal pattern
- Stocking up before a busy period when income has not yet arrived
- An annual cost that lands during your quiet months
- Equipment or a one-off purchase needed to be ready for peak demand
Plan against your season
The strength of Slice for a seasonal business is that you can line the instalments up with when money actually comes in. Map your collection dates to the start of your busy period rather than to your quietest weeks, so the repayments arrive when your account can carry them.
Be honest about the curve
Slice works when the revenue is genuinely coming, just later. If a season underperforms, the instalments still fall due, so build in a margin and contact us early if a date looks tight. Slice is for limited companies and LLPs, and as business credit it sits outside the consumer-credit regime, with no Financial Ombudsman Service or FSCS cover.
