Timber, specialist machinery and workshop space all have to be arranged before a piece is delivered. Describe the purchase, the customer order behind it and the point at which payment is needed.

How it works
Identify the expense and select the funding purpose and urgency that correspond to it.
Complete the business-name, industry, revenue and history fields together with the approximate credit range.
Check your answers, review the consent wording and use the verification code before submitting the request.
Possible uses
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.
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.
Extra storage or assembly space can separate finishing work from production. Price the fit-out and any lease deposit alongside the continuing workshop overheads.
Before you decide
Confirm the sum available for the purchase after any withheld charges.
Add the scheduled payments and other costs to understand the overall obligation.
Read provisions covering guarantees, early settlement and changes in the business.


Woodworking businesses · funding preparation
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.
A few things to know
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.
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.
Submission and receipt of funds are different stages. Any timeline must be confirmed with the funding provider after it has reviewed 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.
