McMullin is a fast-growing Australian furniture and homewares brand known for its timeless, design-led collections, led by its Founder and Creative Director Alice McMullin. With increasing demand for its product range and a clear growth strategy, the business sought additional capital and were introduced to Nexus Advisory.

The Challenge

As McMullin scaled, it faced the common challenge of balancing growth with cash flow. In particular, they required additional capital to:
- Expand inventory to meet growing customer demand
- Develop new product lines to stay ahead of trends
- Invest in marketing to drive brand awareness and sales
- Improve operations to streamline efficiencies

While McMullin had strong revenue growth and a loyal customer base, securing the right funding structure was key to maintaining momentum without diluting ownership.

The Solution

Nexus worked with its broad network of non-bank lenders to source a tailored term loan to help McMullin execute its expansion strategy with the right security structure in place. A term loan allowed:

- Optimised cash flow – Spreading investment costs over time while keeping working capital intact
- Faster inventory turnover – Stocking up on bestsellers to increase sales velocity
- Scalable growth – Investing in marketing and product innovation to drive long-term success

The Result?

With this funding in place, McMullin is positioned for sustained growth, leveraging increased stock availability, stronger brand presence, and enhanced operational capabilities to scale efficiently.

This case study highlights how strategic funding can unlock growth without dilution, allowing businesses like McMullin to scale on their ideal terms.
