Your operating calendar
A deposit for bespoke work may cover only part of the material bill. Map the remaining purchases and milestone payments before deciding how much external funding to request.
How it works
The application process
Describe current trading
Provide the industry and operating information asked for, keeping estimates separate from confirmed figures.
Finish the application
Read the disclosures, check contact details and complete the mobile verification required for submission.
Before you decide
When reviewing a provider offer
The usable amount
Check the amount that remains after all disclosed upfront fees.
The payment commitment
Assess the full repayment schedule against the business’s actual receipt pattern.
The agreement details
Ask the provider to explain conditions, restrictions and default charges in writing.
Possible uses
Business expenses to describe
Specialist machinery
A planer, CNC router or dust extraction system needs space and a suitable power connection. Include commissioning and tooling in addition to the machine price.
Material purchases
Timber and sheet goods may need to be bought before a customer pays the final balance. Allow for grade, lead times and wastage when estimating the order.
Workshop space
Extra storage or assembly space can separate finishing work from production. Price the fit-out and any lease deposit alongside the continuing workshop overheads.
A few things to know
About this referral service
Information sharing and referral payments
We may sell the business and contact details in your application to up to five funding partners for follow-up about financing. Our payment is for the referral rather than a funded outcome, and applying does not incur a fee from this service.
Approval and available terms
We cannot promise approval, a financing amount or particular terms from an application. Those decisions belong to the provider after its own review.
Provider timing
Include the real payment deadline in the request without assuming it will be met. Availability follows the provider’s decision and completion of its requirements.
Contact consent and mobile verification
Before sending your details, check the consent wording for calls, texts and information sharing. The code sent to your mobile is used to confirm access to that number.
