The process

Three steps, and nothing signed until the third

The application is short. The reading happens with someone who can answer questions about it.

Begin the application

Step 01

Send the application

How much you need, how to reach you and a handful of facts about the business. There are no documents to dig out and nothing to pay.

  • No cost
  • No documents to start
  • Free to walk away

Step 02

See every term laid out

A funding specialist takes your application to lenders across the network and brings back their offers, each with its amount, cost, term and repayment rhythm spelled out.

  • One application, many lenders
  • Each offer's terms set side by side
  • Questions answered before you choose

Step 03

Sign only what you have read

Accept the offer whose fixed parts suit the business, or decline them all. Once an offer is approved, the money can arrive in as little as 24 hours.

  • Read before you sign
  • No pressure to accept
  • Funds in as little as 24 hours once approved

Anchor points

Six programmes, and what each one fixes in place

Every offer has parts that are set the day you sign and parts that are not. Knowing which is which is most of knowing what you are agreeing to.

  1. Term LoanThe classic way to fund a bigger move.

    Set when you sign

    Loan amount
    $20K – $1M
    Loan term
    1–2 years
    Interest rate
    As low as 6%

    Still yours to decide

    What the money goes towards: a second site, a large order, the hire you have been putting off.

    Settle this first

    Can the business carry the same repayment every period, for the whole term?

  2. Short Term Business LoanFund your business on your terms.

    Set when you sign

    Funding amount
    $10K – $1M
    Cost
    Beginning at 6%
    Term
    Up to 24 months

    Still yours to decide

    When to borrow, so the term starts just ahead of the season or project it pays for.

    Settle this first

    Will whatever you are funding have paid for itself before the term runs out?

  3. Equipment FinancingEquipment for virtually any industry.

    Set when you sign

    Loan amount
    Up to $250K
    Term
    1–5 years
    Cost
    As low as 8%
    Repayment
    Monthly

    Still yours to decide

    Which machine, vehicle or system, and whether to buy it outright or lease it.

    Settle this first

    Will the equipment still be earning its keep when the last monthly payment goes out?

  4. Working CapitalFunding your day-to-day operations.

    Set when you sign

    Funding amount
    Up to $1M
    Cost
    Starting at 4.5%
    Repayment
    Daily or weekly ACH

    Still yours to decide

    Where it goes inside the business: payroll, rent, stock, or the wait for invoices to clear.

    Settle this first

    Can your account absorb a daily or weekly debit through your slowest week?

  5. Business Line of CreditFlexible financing, there when you need it.

    Set when you sign

    Funding amount
    Up to $1M
    Term
    6 months to 3 years
    Cost
    Starting at 4.5%

    Still yours to decide

    Whether to draw at all, when, and how much. You pay for what you draw, not for the limit.

    Settle this first

    Would money on standby serve you better than one lump sum today?

  6. Revenue-Based FundingQuick and efficient access to capital.

    Set when you sign

    Funding amount
    $5K – $500K
    Repayment
    Daily or weekly ACH

    Still yours to decide

    Whether the speed is worth the price. It rests on your sales rather than your credit file.

    Settle this first

    Do you know the full amount you will pay back, not only the advance you receive?

Every figure in the ledger is that programme's published range. Your offer sets the exact numbers, and you read them before you accept.
