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.

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.

A few things to know

About this referral service

Information sharing and referral payments

The information you submit may be sold by us to up to five partners for financing-related contact. Referral payments come from the partners whether or not they fund the request, while applying through this service is free of an application charge.

Approval and available terms

The form starts a referral for possible financing; it does not confirm acceptance by a provider. A partner may decline the request or require more information before deciding.

Provider timing

Funding dates depend on the provider’s review and completion requirements. Avoid assuming that submission alone makes money available for a scheduled purchase.

Contact consent and mobile verification

Review the legal pages and the call-and-text consent while completing the application. The verification message serves to check the mobile number you have entered.
