Indian sauce maker East at Home has secured financing to fund a move to a new factory.
The relocation to a purpose-fitted facility in Stockport led to the creation of eight jobs at the business.
Founded by brothers Ali and Mohammed Zaman in 2022, East at Home has doubled in size each year since launching. The brand aims to recreate the taste of the local curry house, manufacturing fresh sauces, ingredients and recipes designed to help home cooks master restaurant-quality meals.
The move to a new factory will significantly boost production capacity and support the company in its aim to double turnover again over the next year.
East at Home agreed a six-figure package from FW Capital Debt Finance.
“This funding and our new facility represents a significant step forward for our family business,” said East at Home MD Ali Zaman. “We’ve always believed that everyone should be able to experience authentic, chef-crafted, restaurant-standard Indian food at home.
“This expansion gives us the infrastructure we need to grow while staying true to the fresh, uncompromising quality our customers love. We’ve been cooking Indian food for over 30 years, and every product is meticulously crafted from scratch by experienced chefs with decades of professional kitchen experience behind them.
“The investment from FW Capital has given us the boost we needed to scale up our operations and positions us in a strong position to double our turnover in the next year. We also have plans to expand into retail and this funding gives us the confidence to drive forward and meet our growth ambitions.”
FW Capital Debt Finance is managed by FW Capital as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II, which covers the north of England and provides loans from £25k to £2m and equity investment up to £5m to SMEs.
