BankStreet Partners · A Waterfront Ventures company

Cash locked in your business.
We release it.

BankStreet runs procurement, inventory and working capital for mid-sized businesses and puts new planning and supplier arrangements in place. We work on a monthly managed service with agreed targets, or on a results-only basis where we’re paid from the cash we release.

Who we work with

Sound familiar?

If any of this describes where you are, we should talk.

Finance directors and CFOs

Cash tied up in stock, suppliers on the wrong terms, and nobody with the time to fix either.

Owner-managers

No dedicated procurement team, so buying gets done in the gaps between everything else.

Private equity portfolios

Cash release and savings you can see in the numbers, across one company or several.

What we do

Our services.

Procurement, planning and working capital.

01

Inventory release

We find the working capital trapped in slow-moving and obsolete stock, then execute the release end to end.

Your procurement function, run for you: sourcing, tenders, negotiation and contract management.

How it works

Four steps. One outcome.

A clear sequence from first conversation to lasting result.

01

Diagnose

Find the cash

Data in, stock segmented, slow and obsolete lines valued. A board-ready view of the opportunity.

02

Design

Agree the plan

Stock targets, supplier returns and procurement priorities, each with an owner, a timeline and a risk.

03

Deliver

Release it

Our team embeds and executes: disposition, renegotiation, parameter changes. Verified cash and savings reported monthly.

04

Sustain

Keep it released

Governance and planning routines left in place, or we keep running them as a managed service.

The BankStreet model

Different by design.
