Review expenses alongside payment dates
Separate agency fees from client money earmarked for media or suppliers. A prospective brief and an approved statement of work should also remain distinct in the funding explanation.
Getting a request started
What to expect along the way
Business basics
Answer the form’s questions about the operation and provide accurate owner contact details.
Complete the request
Review the disclosures and the information entered, then verify your mobile number before sending it.
Defining the expense
Examples of expenses to outline
Studio equipment
Workstations, cameras and production tools may require software and setup. Distinguish a one-time equipment purchase from recurring subscriptions.
Project delivery
Freelancers, production suppliers and media work can create costs ahead of client receipts. Use the approved scope and agreed payment schedule to identify the gap.
Routine spending commitments
Payroll, premises and software costs continue between project milestones. Define the operating period rather than treating the full project fee as available cash.
Important points for applicants
Read about the process and our role
Where do my details go after submission?
This service is compensated by funding partners for referrals and the sale of submitted application details. We may share a request with up to five partners who can contact you; our compensation is independent of funding and we charge no application fee.
Who makes the funding decision?
A referral is not a promise that a partner will make an offer. The business must meet that provider’s requirements before financing can be agreed.
When should I expect an update?
A funding partner may ask for records or clarification before making a decision. The requested date should therefore be treated as part of the application, not a promise.
How do I confirm access to my phone?
A received SMS code does not replace the need to read the contact and sharing disclosures. Review those conditions before completing the submission.
