Cafés · funding preparation
Account for the interval before customers pay
Compare regular weekday sales with weekend or event-driven trade. The busiest hour is useful context, but the whole trading month matters when considering a repayment schedule.
Needs to describe
Identify the purpose of the funding
Espresso equipment
A new espresso machine may also require a grinder, water treatment and installation. Check the full setup cost and the time the counter would be out of service.
Seasonal stock
Coffee, milk alternatives and takeaway supplies can sell at different rates through the year. Base the order on recent use and the trading period ahead, especially before local events or holidays.
Service counter
An extra counter or display refrigerator can change how orders move through the café. Include fitting work and electrical requirements alongside the equipment quote.
Information for business owners
Points to review before starting
What should I understand about provider referrals?
The referral process involves selling submitted application information to funding partners, with no more than five receiving one request. We receive partner payments whether the request is funded or not and impose no application charge on you.
How does a provider decide?
The requested amount expresses what the business wants to explore. It is not an approved amount, and a funding partner may offer different terms or no financing at all.
Why can request timelines differ?
Submission and receipt of funds are different stages. Any timeline must be confirmed with the funding provider after it has reviewed the request.
How do contact preferences affect the request?
Read the disclosures presented with the application rather than relying only on this page. Submission includes a separate contact-consent review and a mobile verification step.
