Real Good Food, the UK-based cake decoration and ingredients supplier, has said it is now in a position to pay off debts after securing a new GBP8.9m (US$10.9m) credit facility.

The company, which is based in Liverpool in north-west England and is listed on the London Stock Exchange, said the facility – provided by Leumi ABL – will enable it to pay off certain debt facilities provided by its three major shareholders: NB Ingredients, Omnicane International Investors and funds managed by investment business Downing.
