Courier businesses · funding preparation

Think through the timing of the work

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.

Examine the provider documents

Consider how the proposed terms would work

01

The usable amount

Check the amount that remains after all disclosed upfront fees.

02

The payment commitment

Assess the full repayment schedule against the business’s actual receipt pattern.

03

The agreement details

Ask the provider to explain conditions, restrictions and default charges in writing.

Plans for the funds

Costs to consider when preparing a request

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.

Request steps

How the referral process works

01

Define the purchase

Connect the requested amount to equipment, stock or another identified business cost.

02

Describe current trading

Provide the industry and operating information asked for, keeping estimates separate from confirmed figures.

03

Finish the application

Read the disclosures, check contact details and complete the mobile verification required for submission.

Questions about our role

How our referral service operates

How are introductions to providers handled?

We may sell the business and contact details in your application to up to five funding partners for follow-up about financing. Our payment is for the referral rather than a funded outcome, and applying does not incur a fee from this service.

Where do offer conditions come from?

We cannot promise approval, a financing amount or particular terms from an application. Those decisions belong to the provider after its own review.

What determines the time needed for review?

Include the real payment deadline in the request without assuming it will be met. Availability follows the provider’s decision and completion of its requirements.

What should I expect at the verification step?

Before sending your details, check the consent wording for calls, texts and information sharing. The code sent to your mobile is used to confirm access to that number.
