A budget for the work ahead

Gross online sales are different from the payout after fees, refunds and reserves. Use the receipts available to the business when reviewing any financing repayment schedule.

Spending priorities

What your request could cover

01

Inventory

A supplier deposit and final balance may be due before stock becomes available online. Include freight and distinguish replenishment from an untested product launch.

02

Fulfillment equipment

Packing benches, label printers and storage systems can support order handling. Price the equipment and setup for the order volume the business actually expects.

03

Ongoing business expenses

Platform fees, shipping and returns can affect the cash received from a sale. Define the period covered and use the relevant payout schedule to explain the gap.

Details about the referral

Our role in a funding request

Who may receive my application details?

Funding partners may purchase your application details from us and contact you about potential financing. We may refer a request to up to five partners and are paid even if it is not funded; we charge no application fee.

Who reviews the application?

Providers make their own decisions after considering the information they require. Submission alone promises neither approval nor a particular financing amount.

When could I hear about my request?

Do not treat the requested timing as a delivery commitment from a funding partner. Review can involve supporting documents and additional checks.

What happens when I confirm my contact details?

Before submission, review the sharing terms and the permission for partner communications. A one-time code checks access to your phone rather than replacing the consent review.
