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.
A few things to know
About this referral service
Information sharing and referral payments
We may sell the business and contact details in your application to up to five funding partners for follow-up about financing. Our payment is for the referral rather than a funded outcome, and applying does not incur a fee from this service.
Approval and available terms
We cannot promise approval, a financing amount or particular terms from an application. Those decisions belong to the provider after its own review.
Provider timing
Include the real payment deadline in the request without assuming it will be met. Availability follows the provider’s decision and completion of its requirements.
Contact consent and mobile verification
Before sending your details, check the consent wording for calls, texts and information sharing. The code sent to your mobile is used to confirm access to that number.
