Spending priorities
What your request could cover
Specialist machinery
A planer, CNC router or dust extraction system needs space and a suitable power connection. Include commissioning and tooling in addition to the machine price.
Material purchases
Timber and sheet goods may need to be bought before a customer pays the final balance. Allow for grade, lead times and wastage when estimating the order.
Workshop space
Extra storage or assembly space can separate finishing work from production. Price the fit-out and any lease deposit alongside the continuing workshop overheads.

A budget for the work ahead
A deposit for bespoke work may cover only part of the material bill. Map the remaining purchases and milestone payments before deciding how much external funding to request.
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.
