How it works

The application process

01

Purchase or expense

Use a quote or a clearly marked estimate to work out the amount you are requesting.

02

Application questions

Provide industry, trading history, revenue and approximate personal credit information in the relevant fields.

03

Before sending

Check the contact information and disclosures, complete number verification and confirm the submission.

Possible uses

Business expenses to describe

01

Business technology

Workstations, specialist tools and secure collaboration systems can involve upfront implementation. Keep those costs separate from continuing software subscriptions.

02

Project capacity

Associates, analysts and other specialists may need paying before the main client invoice clears. Use the engagement scope to identify the work and period involved.

03

Operating expenses

Travel, payroll and office costs can continue while a project is awaiting approval or payment. Describe the defined gap and distinguish confirmed receipts from pipeline opportunities.

Consulting businesses · funding preparation

The budget behind the request

Use signed engagements and realistic billing milestones when explaining the need. An expected extension or proposal should not be presented as contracted consulting revenue.

Before you decide

When reviewing a provider offer

01

Quoted amount

Ask whether any fees would be taken out before the funds reach your account.

02

Total payable

Review the combined repayment obligation rather than judging the offer by one payment.

03

Conditions attached

Read the requirements for security, reporting and any permitted uses of funds.

Up to five funding partners may receive an application through a paid referral from us. We sell the application and contact information, receive compensation without a funding requirement, and do not collect an application fee from you.

Approval and available terms

Approval cannot be assumed from a successful form submission. Any offer depends on the funding partner’s assessment and the conditions attached to its product.

Provider timing

An equipment delivery date and a financing date may not line up. Ask the provider to confirm its timetable before making a commitment that relies on receiving funds.
