Use the actual purchase or operating gap to explain how much funding you want to explore.

Possible uses

Business expenses to describe

01

Inventory purchasing

Minimum orders and supplier deposits can create a large upfront commitment. Use confirmed customer demand and stock already held when defining the purchase.

02

Handling equipment

Packing stations, pallet equipment and loading aids can support a change in order volume. Include setup costs and the space needed to use them.

03

Operating expenses

Freight, warehouse labor and supplier balances may come due on different dates. Break the request into those obligations and identify expected customer payment dates.

Your operating calendar

Gross order value is different from the cash tied up in an order. Deduct deposits and consider returns or customer payment terms when estimating the amount that needs funding.

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.
