Amount and purpose
Use the actual purchase or operating gap to explain how much funding you want to explore.
Business financing referrals · Growing businesses
Business funding for fit-out, equipment and opening stock.
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.
How it works
The application process
Trading profile
Answer the questions about monthly revenue, time in business and your industry.
Contact details
Check the owner and business contact information, read the disclosures and complete SMS verification before sending.
Possible uses
Business expenses to describe
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.
Before you decide
When reviewing a provider offer
Amount available
Confirm how much of the offered amount would actually reach the business.
Repayment cost
Look at all repayments and fees over the agreement rather than a single quoted rate.
Contract conditions
Read security, guarantee, early-payment and default provisions before agreeing.
Growing businesses · funding preparation
Your operating calendar
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.

A few things to know
About this referral service
Information sharing and referral payments
Your submitted business and contact information may be sold to as many as five funding partners for follow-up. Partners pay us for the referral regardless of its funding outcome, and we do not charge you to apply.
Approval and available terms
Sending the form does not guarantee an offer or approval. Funding partners assess the business against their own requirements and set the conditions of any financing.
Provider timing
A supplier deadline does not establish how quickly a funding partner can respond. Confirm the provider’s process before relying on financing for a payment.
Contact consent and mobile verification
Check how your information will be used and who may contact you before you send the form. The SMS code verifies your number; the separate consent text describes communications.
