Edinburgh-based Soldado Limited has secured £384.9k in new funding to expand its Black Soldier Fly breeding and consultancy operations. The investment values the business at a post-money valuation of £1.2m.

Incorporated in 2023, Soldado Limited focuses on the production of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) neonates and seven-day-old larvae. The company provides these biological products to protein producers and waste management firms, alongside consultancy services for setting up and optimising BSF farming operations. Its decentralised breeding solutions are designed to help businesses start, scale, and optimise BSF production while ensuring efficiency and sustainability. By combining industry expertise with these biological products, the firm aims to assist businesses in converting organic waste into value.

The company currently employs five people and is headquartered in Edinburgh. According to its most recent financial filings, the business reported accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025. This latest capital injection (allotted in May 2026) follows the company's efforts to provide tailored solutions for the insect farming sector, which aims to convert organic waste into high-value protein.

Soldado Limited offers high-performance BSF neonates to support efficient production cycles. Its consultancy arm provides expert guidance on farm setup, production optimisation, and waste management integration for the BSF industry. The company operates through its website at soldado.uk and maintains its headquarters in Edinburgh. This funding round was formally documented in May 2026.
