Business funding, $5,000 to $1 million

Funding for a business that is already working

Choose an amount and start. One short application goes to a funding specialist and a network of lenders. There is no fee to apply and no obligation to take anything.

  • Free to apply
  • No obligation
  • Nothing to pay upfront

The application is the way in, and it takes about two minutes.

What the money lifts

Start with what the money is lifting.

The amount matters less than you would think. What decides the program is what the funding lifts, and how long that lift has to hold.

  1. An owner packing orders ahead of the busy season.

    A season coming

    Orders climb from October. The stock and the extra hands have to be paid for in September.

    What it lifts
    Stock and staff, bought ahead of the sales that pay for them.
    How long the lift lasts
    A few months. Over when the season is.
    Usually points to

    Short money for a short lift. A term that outlives the season charges you for months you never needed.

  2. Two managers walking the warehouse aisles, checking stock for a new contract.

    A contract won

    A bigger customer signs. You buy the materials and carry the payroll now. They pay on sixty or ninety days.

    What it lifts
    The gap between doing the work and being paid for it.
    How long the lift lasts
    Until the invoice clears, and then it should be gone.
    Usually points to

    Repayment should track the customer's money coming in, not run for years after the job is done.

  3. A coffee roaster running at capacity while the owner works the orders.

    A machine at capacity

    The roaster runs every shift and you still turn down wholesale orders. A second one would let you say yes.

    What it lifts
    Output, every day the new machine runs.
    How long the lift lasts
    Years. As long as the machine keeps working.
    Usually points to

    The machine secures its own financing, so the term can be set to its working life instead of your cash flow this quarter.

  4. A main street of independent shops, where a second location opens.

    A second location

    The first shop is full at lunch. There is an empty unit on the next block.

    What it lifts
    Revenue at a second address, once it is fitted out and trading.
    How long the lift lasts
    Years. A new site takes time to pay its way.
    Usually points to

    One sum up front and fixed payments over a longer term, so the new site has room to earn before the repayments bite.

These are the usual fits, not rules. Your specialist looks at the business in front of them, and one application covers all six.

The six

Six programs, each built for a different lift

Some lifts are over in weeks. Some run for years. Here is what each program is shaped for.

How it works

Three steps, and you only do the first

You tell us what you are lifting. We match it to the terms. You decide.

Step 01

Tell us what you are lifting

Pick an amount, leave your contact details, and answer three quick questions about the business. No documents yet. Nothing to pay.

  • Free to apply
  • No documents to start
  • About two minutes

Step 02

We match the lift to the terms

A funding specialist takes your application to the lenders most likely to back a business like yours. The offers come back to one person, who reads them before you have to.

  • One application, many lenders
  • Lenders price from recent bank statements
  • Offers set against what the money is for

Step 03

You choose, and get back to work

Your specialist walks you through each offer and what it costs over the full term. Accept one and, once approved, funds can arrive in as little as 24 hours.

  • The total cost, in one number
  • Nothing out of pocket
  • Say no to all of them if none fits

Ready when you are

The business is moving. Give it the lift.
