Your operating calendar

Delivery counts do not always reflect margin or the timing of payment. Account for failed deliveries, return trips and vehicle downtime when reviewing a funding commitment.

Before you decide

When reviewing a provider offer

01

Funds received

Separate the headline amount from proceeds after deductions and fees.

02

Payments owed

Place the required repayments in the same budget as existing business expenses.

03

Changes and exit

Read what the contract says about early payment, missed payments and changed circumstances.

Possible uses

Business expenses to describe

01

Vehicle needs

A delivery vehicle may require shelving, parcel protection or tracking equipment. Include these additions and the changeover cost if it replaces an existing vehicle.

02

Dispatch equipment

Handheld devices, printers and dispatch systems can involve hardware and setup charges. Separate those expenses from recurring software or mobile-data costs.

03

Operating capacity

Fuel, driver hours and subcontracted routes may be paid before the customer settles. Define the initial operating period and use agreed payment terms where available.

A few things to know

About this referral service

Information sharing and referral payments

We are paid to refer business applications and sell the submitted details to funding partners. A request may reach up to five partners, payment to us is not conditional on funding, and you do not pay this service an application fee.

Approval and available terms

No funding commitment is created by completing this request. Eligibility, amounts and contract terms are matters for the provider assessing the application.

Provider timing

The application lets you state when funding is needed, but availability is decided separately. A partner’s assessment and agreement may take longer than the business deadline.

Contact consent and mobile verification

Take time to read the application’s contact permission and privacy disclosures. SMS verification is an additional step that confirms you can receive a code at the supplied number.
