Inventory Reduction as a Service

CASH
LOCKED
IN YOUR
INVENTORY.
WE RELEASE IT.

BankStreet Partners goes in, finds the working capital trapped in your stock, and executes the release — end to end. We get paid when the cash moves. Not before.

Our conviction

"Cash is not a future outcome. It is already sitting in your supply chain — waiting to be released."

Most businesses are carrying significantly more inventory than they need to operate. The cash is there. The problem is not identifying it — it is having the expertise, the mandate, and the execution capability to free it.

The problem we solve

YOUR STOCK IS
YOUR BIGGEST
UNTAPPED ASSET

Inventory sits at the intersection of every operational tension — demand uncertainty, supplier commitments, ERP parameters, finance write-down appetite. Most businesses know the problem exists. Few have solved it.

Excess stock
Over-ordered positions sitting against demand forecasts that never materialised. Capital tied up at cost, earning nothing.
Slow-moving & obsolete (SLOB)
SKUs that haven't moved in months. Accumulating storage cost. Depreciating in value. A write-down waiting to happen.
Wrong ERP parameters
Safety stock levels set years ago. Reorder points never recalibrated. The system is generating orders that make the problem worse.
No internal mandate
Everyone knows the inventory is too high. Nobody owns the problem. The cash stays locked.
The BankStreet model

FOUR PHASES.
ONE OUTCOME.

We don't advise and leave. We embed, execute, and stay until the cash is released and the governance is in place to keep it there.

Why BankStreet

DIFFERENT BY
DESIGN

01
Turnkey execution
We don't hand you a report and wish you luck. Our team embeds in your business and executes the programme end to end. You provide access. We provide the result.
02
Gainshare only
Zero upfront fee. Zero retainer. We are paid exclusively from the verified cash we release. If we don't deliver, you owe us nothing. Our incentives are completely aligned.
03
Verified results
Every pound of cash released is tracked, reported monthly, and independently verifiable. We invoice against actuals — not estimates, not projections.
04
Phased commitment
You sign off phase by phase. After Diagnose, you have a full picture of the opportunity before committing to the programme. Low risk entry. Maximum upside.
05
Sector agnostic
Wherever there is significant inventory, there is opportunity. Manufacturing, retail, healthcare, distribution — the methodology works across any business carrying stock.
06
Built to last
The Sustain phase exists for one reason: to make sure the cash stays released. Governance embedded. Team trained. ERP locked. Not a one-time fix.
