Assess the repayment commitment
Make room for repayments in your plan

Purchase examples
Common spending needs in this industry
Vehicle needs
A truck or van purchase can involve bodywork, loading equipment and compliance checks. Include the cost of making the vehicle ready for the intended work.
Handling equipment
Pallet trucks, loading aids and securing equipment should suit the freight being moved. Price the required accessories and storage alongside the main purchase.
Business overhead and running costs
Fuel, driver payments and subcontractor invoices can precede customer receipts. Define the routes or contract period covered by the requested funds.
Helpful application information

How are providers connected to my request?
Up to five funding partners may receive an application through a paid referral from us. We sell the application and contact information, receive compensation without a funding requirement, and do not collect an application fee from you.
What affects available options?
Approval cannot be assumed from a successful form submission. Any offer depends on the funding partner’s assessment and the conditions attached to its product.
What can affect the next step?
An equipment delivery date and a financing date may not line up. Ask the provider to confirm its timetable before making a commitment that relies on receiving funds.
What should I read before sharing my number?
Partner contact and information sharing are described in the form and linked policies. Read those details before verifying the number and submitting your business information.
