Business financing referrals · Growing businesses

Turn an expansion budget into a specific funding request.

A second location can require deposits and setup spending before it produces revenue. Break the expansion into the costs you need to fund and the dates each payment is expected.

Growing businesses · funding preparation

A budget for the work ahead

Keep current-location revenue separate from projections for the new site. Assess any repayment obligation against the period when setup costs and both locations’ overheads overlap.

Understand the process

What happens to a funding request

01

Purpose first

Identify the main use of the requested funds and choose the amount that reflects the expense.

02

Business information

Share the business name, industry and recent operating information requested in the application.

03

Submission step

Review the contact permissions and your details before verifying the mobile number and submitting.

Take time to compare

Understand costs and repayment dates

01

Provider identity

Confirm which company would provide the financing and which agreement you would sign.

02

Payment schedule

Check when repayments start, their frequency and how long the obligation lasts.

03

Other requirements

Understand any collateral or personal-guarantee requirements before accepting the offer.

Spending priorities

What your request could cover

01

Space fit-out

Contractor work, signage and fixtures may require staged payments before opening. Separate those expenses from the lease deposit and ongoing occupancy costs.

02

Equipment

An additional location may need its own equipment rather than spare capacity from the first site. Include delivery, installation and staff training in the budget.

03

Opening inventory

Initial stock must be bought before the new location begins trading. Distinguish the opening order from replenishment the existing business already funds.

Details about the referral

Our role in a funding request

Who may receive my application details?

Funding partners may purchase your application details from us and contact you about potential financing. We may refer a request to up to five partners and are paid even if it is not funded; we charge no application fee.

Who reviews the application?

Providers make their own decisions after considering the information they require. Submission alone promises neither approval nor a particular financing amount.

When could I hear about my request?

Do not treat the requested timing as a delivery commitment from a funding partner. Review can involve supporting documents and additional checks.

What happens when I confirm my contact details?

Before submission, review the sharing terms and the permission for partner communications. A one-time code checks access to your phone rather than replacing the consent review.
