Founded in 2019 by Masibu Manima, Translate Culture supports organisations to grow through end‑to‑end delivery services. When the pandemic threatened the business early on, Masibu’s e‑commerce expertise helped it adapt and grow, securing work with larger brands.
In 2023, Translate Culture was unable to access high‑street bank finance due to its limited trading history. Funding from a Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) and Lendoe enabled recruitment and strengthened delivery capacity during a key growth period.
“Access to the right finance at the right time helped the business move from early momentum to confident, sustainable growth.”
Following consistent repayments and increased business maturity, Translate Culture successfully secured a £50,000 loan from Lloyds Bank, supporting international growth and long‑term resilience.
