Turn a workshop investment into a defined funding request.
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.

Consider the gap between purchases and payments
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.
From plan to request

The final review
Read the consent and legal information, check your answers and verify your phone to finish the request.
Expenses to outline
Business uses to discuss
Specialist machinery
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.
Material purchases
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.
Workshop space
Extra storage or assembly space can separate finishing work from production. Price the fit-out and any lease deposit alongside the continuing workshop overheads.

What business owners should know
What happens to the details I provide?
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.
What determines eligibility?
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.
What affects response 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.
How does the mobile confirmation step work?
The form includes disclosures about data sharing and partner contact. Review them alongside the legal pages, then complete the required mobile-number verification.
