Put the cost of delivering your next engagement into a plan.
Consulting work may require technology, research or specialist support before the client settles a milestone. Define the delivery costs and timing behind the funding request.

Payment dates
Compare the payment frequency with the dates the business normally receives cash.
Consulting businesses · funding preparation
Build the request around your budget
Use signed engagements and realistic billing milestones when explaining the need. An expected extension or proposal should not be presented as contracted consulting revenue.
Business costs
Purchases to include in your request
Business technology
Workstations, specialist tools and secure collaboration systems can involve upfront implementation. Keep those costs separate from continuing software subscriptions.
Project capacity
Associates, analysts and other specialists may need paying before the main client invoice clears. Use the engagement scope to identify the work and period involved.
Day-to-day business costs
Travel, payroll and office costs can continue while a project is awaiting approval or payment. Describe the defined gap and distinguish confirmed receipts from pipeline opportunities.

Before completing a request
Questions about our funding referral service
How is my information shared?
We sell application and contact details to up to five funding partners, who may contact you about financing. We receive payment for referrals whether or not funding is provided; there is no application fee for this service.
Who decides on an offer?
An application is a request for consideration, not a financing approval. Each provider decides eligibility, any available amount and the terms it is willing to offer.
When might a provider respond?
The date selected in the form describes your need, not a promised funding date. Provider checks, documents and the agreement determine the actual timetable.
Why is mobile verification needed?
Read the Terms, Privacy Policy and contact consent before submitting. Mobile verification confirms access to the number entered and is separate from agreeing to calls or texts.
