Your funding purpose
Put the expense into context
Specialist machinery
A planer, CNC router or dust extraction system needs space and a suitable power connection. Include commissioning and tooling in addition to the machine price.
Material purchases
Timber and sheet goods may need to be bought before a customer pays the final balance. Allow for grade, lead times and wastage when estimating the order.
Workshop space
Extra storage or assembly space can separate finishing work from production. Price the fit-out and any lease deposit alongside the continuing workshop overheads.

What to expect from us
Answers before you submit
How do referrals and compensation work?
We are paid to refer business applications and sell the submitted details to funding partners. A request may reach up to five partners, payment to us is not conditional on funding, and you do not pay this service an application fee.
Can a request be declined?
No funding commitment is created by completing this request. Eligibility, amounts and contract terms are matters for the provider assessing the application.
How is the review schedule determined?
The application lets you state when funding is needed, but availability is decided separately. A partner’s assessment and agreement may take longer than the business deadline.
Why does the form ask for contact consent?
Take time to read the application’s contact permission and privacy disclosures. SMS verification is an additional step that confirms you can receive a code at the supplied number.
