Business costs
Purchases to include in your request
Studio improvements
Backdrops, electrical work and shooting-space changes can affect studio availability. Include installation and the time the space cannot be hired or used.

Photography businesses · funding preparation
Build the request around your budget
A booking deposit, completed shoot and paid final invoice are different points in the project. Use those stages to explain when the business needs cash and when it expects receipts.
Review the details first
Compare the offer with your operating budget
Net proceeds
Check what the business would receive after any upfront deductions.
Total obligation
Ask for the complete amount payable, including charges and fees.
Payment dates
Compare the payment frequency with the dates the business normally receives cash.
Before completing a request
Questions about our funding referral service
How is my information shared?
We sell application and contact details to up to five funding partners, who may contact you about financing. We receive payment for referrals whether or not funding is provided; there is no application fee for this service.
Who decides on an offer?
An application is a request for consideration, not a financing approval. Each provider decides eligibility, any available amount and the terms it is willing to offer.
When might a provider respond?
The date selected in the form describes your need, not a promised funding date. Provider checks, documents and the agreement determine the actual timetable.
Why is mobile verification needed?
Read the Terms, Privacy Policy and contact consent before submitting. Mobile verification confirms access to the number entered and is separate from agreeing to calls or texts.
