Business financing referrals · Local businesses

Start with the cost your business needs to cover.

A useful funding request identifies a purchase or an operating expense, not just a broad ambition. Describe what your local business needs, the cost involved and when payment is due.

Possible uses

Business expenses to describe

01

Business equipment

Identify the machine, tool or system the business needs to buy. Include delivery and setup so the request reflects the cost of putting it into use.

02

Inventory

Connect a stock order to the products you sell and the period in which you expect to sell them. Separate confirmed supplier prices from preliminary estimates.

03

Operating expenses

List the bills that fall due before expected customer receipts. Define the period covered so the request has a clear purpose and end point.

Costs and customer receipts

Use the business’s current trading record as the starting point. Expected growth can explain a plan, but it should remain distinct from sales already made or payments received.

A few things to know

About this referral service

Information sharing and referral payments

Submitting allows us to sell the application information to a maximum of five funding partners under the form disclosures. Our referral compensation does not depend on you receiving financing, and the application carries no fee from us.

Approval and available terms

A completed application does not establish that funding is available. The provider reviews the business and determines whether to offer financing and on what terms.

Provider timing

Timing varies with the provider and the information it needs to review. An urgent request does not remove those requirements or guarantee funds by a deadline.

Contact consent and mobile verification

The form includes disclosures about data sharing and partner contact. Review them alongside the legal pages, then complete the required mobile-number verification.
