Service businesses · funding preparation

Look at when money comes in and goes out

Explain recurring retainers separately from one-off engagements. The amount invoiced and the date it is expected to be paid can both affect how a financing obligation fits the business.

Planned purchases

Explain the costs behind your plans

01

Office equipment

Computers, secure storage and communications equipment can be part of a planned upgrade. Include setup and migration costs where they apply to the purchase.

02

Project capacity

A signed engagement may require specialist support or temporary staff before a milestone payment. Connect those costs to the agreed scope of work.

03

Costs of keeping work moving

Payroll, premises and software bills may fall between client receipts. Identify the specific payment gap instead of grouping all future overheads into one figure.

Consider the full cost

Points to check in a financing offer

01

Amount available

Confirm how much of the offered amount would actually reach the business.

02

Repayment cost

Look at all repayments and fees over the agreement rather than a single quoted rate.

03

Contract conditions

Read security, guarantee, early-payment and default provisions before agreeing.

Understand our role

Understand the service before applying

How does the referral service get paid?

Your submitted business and contact information may be sold to as many as five funding partners for follow-up. Partners pay us for the referral regardless of its funding outcome, and we do not charge you to apply.

How are funding terms set?

Sending the form does not guarantee an offer or approval. Funding partners assess the business against their own requirements and set the conditions of any financing.

How long can a review take?

A supplier deadline does not establish how quickly a funding partner can respond. Confirm the provider’s process before relying on financing for a payment.

What contact permission am I giving?

Check how your information will be used and who may contact you before you send the form. The SMS code verifies your number; the separate consent text describes communications.
