How it works

Four steps. No mystery in any of them.

You are running a business while you do this. We keep the process short, keep you with one person, and tell you where you stand at each stage.

The four-stage pathway

How our funding moves from application to bank deposit.

Small business owner completing application form
01Takes a few minutes

Tell us about the business

A short application: who you are, what you do, roughly what the business brings in, and how much you are looking for. No document pack required to get started.

02Same person throughout

Speak with a funding expert

A real conversation about what the money is for and how the business is trading. This is where most of the useful work happens — and where you can ask anything.

03Nothing hidden in footnotes

Review the options on the table

Amount, payment schedule, term and total cost, laid out plainly. If something does not make sense, ask before you sign anything.

04Your call, either way

Decide, then put it to work

Accept the terms and funds are released, or walk away. An application is not a commitment, and declining costs you nothing.

What to have handy before you call

Nothing formal is needed to start, but the conversation moves faster when you know these off the top of your head.

  • Roughly what the business brings in each month
  • How long you have been trading
  • What the funds are for, in one sentence
  • How much you are looking for
