A perspective for cafés

The morning rush is only one part of the picture. Make space for the decisions that keep the rest of the day moving.

Before you decide

Look beyond the headline number.

If you receive an offer, review the obligations as carefully as the opportunity.

01

The full cost

Look at the total amount you would repay, including any fees and other charges.

02

The repayment rhythm

Check the payment amount and frequency against the way revenue moves through your business.

03

The conditions

Understand security requirements, restrictions and what happens if your circumstances change.

A few things to know

Good questions make a better starting point.

What should I compare in an offer?

Consider the total cost, repayment schedule, fees, conditions and fit with your business. Ask the provider to explain anything that is unclear before accepting.

What should I have ready?

Have your basic business information, an estimate of monthly revenue, time in business, contact details and the purpose of the funding you want to explore.

How quickly could funding be available?

Timing depends on the provider, your application and any documents or checks required. Review the details of an offer before making business commitments based on it.

Why do I verify my mobile number?

A one-time SMS code helps confirm that the number provided belongs to you. The form asks you to complete this step before submitting your application.
