Possible uses

Before you decide
When reviewing a provider offer

Written terms
Ask the provider to clarify restrictions or obligations that are not clear in the agreement.
A few things to know
About this referral service
Information sharing and referral payments
Submitting allows us to sell the application information to a maximum of five funding partners under the form disclosures. Our referral compensation does not depend on you receiving financing, and the application carries no fee from us.
Approval and available terms
A completed application does not establish that funding is available. The provider reviews the business and determines whether to offer financing and on what terms.
Provider timing
Timing varies with the provider and the information it needs to review. An urgent request does not remove those requirements or guarantee funds by a deadline.
Contact consent and mobile verification
The form includes disclosures about data sharing and partner contact. Review them alongside the legal pages, then complete the required mobile-number verification.
