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.
Business financing referrals · Woodworking businesses
Business funding for woodworking orders and equipment.
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.
Defining the expense
Examples of expenses to outline
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.
Woodworking businesses · funding preparation
Review expenses alongside payment dates
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.

Important points for applicants
Read about the process and our role
Where do my details go after submission?
This service is compensated by funding partners for referrals and the sale of submitted application details. We may share a request with up to five partners who can contact you; our compensation is independent of funding and we charge no application fee.
Who makes the funding decision?
A referral is not a promise that a partner will make an offer. The business must meet that provider’s requirements before financing can be agreed.
When should I expect an update?
A funding partner may ask for records or clarification before making a decision. The requested date should therefore be treated as part of the application, not a promise.
How do I confirm access to my phone?
A received SMS code does not replace the need to read the contact and sharing disclosures. Review those conditions before completing the submission.
