Business financing referrals · Owner-operated businesses

Explore funding for the next purchase you make as an owner.

As an owner, you may be weighing equipment, stock and day-to-day costs at the same time. Separate those needs so the funding request explains which expense matters now.

Owner-operated businesses · funding preparation

Review expenses alongside payment dates

Keep business receipts and expenses distinct from personal withdrawals. That separation makes the request clearer and helps assess whether proposed repayments fit the operation.

Defining the expense

Examples of expenses to outline

01

Equipment

Start with a quote for the equipment the business will actually use. Include setup and replacement costs while keeping personal purchases outside the request.

02

Inventory

Describe the stock needed for normal trade or a confirmed new opportunity. Use supplier terms and current inventory to estimate the purchase.

03

Operating capacity

Additional help, premises and routine bills may create a defined cash gap. List the business obligations and the period the requested funds would cover.

Important points for applicants

Read about the process and our role

Where do my details go after submission?

This service is compensated by funding partners for referrals and the sale of submitted application details. We may share a request with up to five partners who can contact you; our compensation is independent of funding and we charge no application fee.

Who makes the funding decision?

A referral is not a promise that a partner will make an offer. The business must meet that provider’s requirements before financing can be agreed.

When should I expect an update?

A funding partner may ask for records or clarification before making a decision. The requested date should therefore be treated as part of the application, not a promise.

How do I confirm access to my phone?

A received SMS code does not replace the need to read the contact and sharing disclosures. Review those conditions before completing the submission.
