Review expenses alongside payment dates

Place ingredient orders, wholesale payment dates and retail takings on the same calendar. This makes it easier to distinguish a short seasonal gap from a continuing production expense.

Bring the essentials

What to gather for the application

Prepare the business profile and the purpose of the request so the information stays consistent.

  • 01A defined expense with its amount and timing
  • 02Your usual monthly revenue and time established
  • 03The business sector, its name and your approximate credit bracket
  • 04Your name, email and mobile number for the request

Getting a request started

What to expect along the way

01

Funding purpose

State what the funds would pay for and when that payment is expected.

02

Business basics

Answer the form’s questions about the operation and provide accurate owner contact details.

03

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

01

Ovens and mixers

An oven or mixer purchase can affect batch size and production scheduling. Include installation, ventilation and staff training where these are part of the change.

02

Packaging supplies

Cake boxes, bread bags and labels may need ordering ahead of holiday production. Use expected order volumes and storage space to define the purchasing need.

03

Preparation space

Additional benches or cold storage can support separate preparation and finishing tasks. Price the fit-out and any interruption to normal baking before setting the requested amount.

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.
