Funding purpose
State what the funds would pay for and when that payment is expected.
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.

Review expenses alongside payment dates
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.

Available proceeds
Work out the usable amount after the provider’s stated deductions.

Business budget
Consider the proposed payment dates alongside quiet periods and existing commitments.
Defining the expense
Examples of expenses to outline
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.
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.
Opening inventory
Initial stock must be bought before the new location begins trading. Distinguish the opening order from replenishment the existing business already funds.

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.
