Amount and purpose
Use the actual purchase or operating gap to explain how much funding you want to explore.
Business financing referrals · Local businesses
Explore funding for a specific investment in your local business.

Local businesses · funding preparation
Your operating calendar
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.
Possible uses
Business expenses to describe
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.
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.
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.
Before you decide
When reviewing a provider offer
Amount available
Confirm how much of the offered amount would actually reach the business.
Repayment cost
Look at all repayments and fees over the agreement rather than a single quoted rate.
Contract conditions
Read security, guarantee, early-payment and default provisions before agreeing.
A few things to know
About this referral service
Information sharing and referral payments
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.
Approval and available terms
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.
Provider timing
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.
Contact consent and mobile verification
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.
