Credit Commentary:
Based in Reading, Akoni Technologies provides IT consulting and resourcing services. Some of the prominent IT services they offer are Service Now Implementation, Cloud Solutions, Integrations, Enterprise Development, and Artificial Intelligence to help businesses digitalise and enhance their modus operandi. The business was incorporated in 2019, holds an Equifax score of B, and falls under the “Lower Risk” category under the Crowd2Fund credit grading matrix. It is a returning client with C2F. The sole shareholder, Mahesh Kumar, is providing a personal guarantee, which means that if the business fails to repay the loan, we can turn to the guarantor to cover any shortfall. The director has a good credit profile and is a homeowner.
Looking at the financials, the company posted an impressive growth in its turnover of 39% in FY2024 (31 May-ending period) of £816K (FY2023: £585K), which translated into an increased Operating Profit of £116.8K (FY2023: 85.8K). Net Equity was recorded higher at £120K (FY 2023: £38K). The company has secured a lucrative contract with a public sector organisation for the next 2 years, which will enable the company to post a healthy operating profit in the foreseeable future, and therefore, the EBITDA generated will be sufficient to cover the proposed loan facility. The company has amassed further loans as well to support the working capital needs with additional contracts secured, which will take its gearing to more than 70%. The company will utilise loan proceeds to hire resources to cater to the project. In addition, the company is looking to hire more marketing and sales staff to support the expansion of the business.

Inflation Risk:
According to management, the business is not affected by inflation and has already locked in the margin rate for its contracts.
