BeerSaver secures funding to grow its line-cleaning business

BeerSaver’s national franchise is growing. Run by Travis Evans, the team has secured a loan through Evolve Business Finance to fund expansion and take on bigger jobs. That means more staff, more kit and more time, saving pints and money for venues across the country.

BeerSaver helps pubs, clubs and sports venues cut waste and save cash. Its digital system means beer lines don’t need cleaning as often, without affecting taste or quality. That saves both beer and water from going down the drain, lowering costs and the carbon footprint of hospitality venues. The technology uses a continuous pulse to stop yeast building up in the lines and, instead of cleaning the lines every week, venues can clean them every six to eight weeks if conditions are right.

Travis Evans runs the national BeerSaver franchise. He works with places including well-known football clubs, big pub chains and hotel/conference venues.  As BeerSaver’s business grew, Travis needed more people to keep up with demand.  However getting the right finance was a challenge. BeerSaver’s service is very specialist and many lenders hadn’t heard of it. That’s where Evolve came in.

Nilima Begum at Evolve worked with Travis to put a deal in place that fitted the business and the lender. She helped explain what BeerSaver does, the size of the market and how the facility would help the business grow.

BeerSaver was introduced to ART Business Loans, a lender that was able to fund the deal under the growth guarantee scheme. The loan is now helping BeerSaver bring new staff on board and keep its vehicles on the roads.

What our client said

AWorking with Nilima made the whole funding process feel easy. We’re hands-on people - we know line cleaning and venues inside out but finance isn’t really our world. Nilima took the time to understand what we do and how the business is growing. She helped explain that to lenders who hadn’t come across BeerSaver before. What stood out was how straightforward she made it: no jargon, just clear steps. Thanks to Evolve, we’ve now got the backing to take on more staff and keep building the business.”

What we thought

AThis was a classic growth story – a great business needing a bit of support to take the next step. It’s always good to work with owners who really care about what they do and Travis is one of those. BeerSaver’s system helps venues cut waste and save money - but because it’s quite niche, not every lender immediately understands it. Our job was to present the business in a way that made sense: real savings, real demand, clear growth potential. Once we had the right lender on board, it all came together quickly. I’m really pleased to see Travis and the team now set up to take things further and go from strength to strength.”
