Costs behind the plan

Describe the work behind the purchase

01

Collection inventory

A size run ties up stock across styles and sizes that may sell at different speeds. Use past sales and delivery dates to decide which purchase the funding request should cover.

02

Fitting-room improvements

Partitions, lighting and mirrors may need work between seasonal launches. Include installation and the effect on the shop floor while fittings are being changed.

03

Retail technology

Inventory tracking and checkout equipment can help record stock across the store and online. Budget separately for devices, setup work and continuing software charges.

About the next steps

Learn how we handle a request

What should I know about referral fees?

The information you submit may be sold by us to up to five partners for financing-related contact. Referral payments come from the partners whether or not they fund the request, while applying through this service is free of an application charge.

How are offers assessed?

The form starts a referral for possible financing; it does not confirm acceptance by a provider. A partner may decline the request or require more information before deciding.

Does every provider follow the same timeline?

Funding dates depend on the provider’s review and completion requirements. Avoid assuming that submission alone makes money available for a scheduled purchase.

How are consent and phone confirmation handled?

Review the legal pages and the call-and-text consent while completing the application. The verification message serves to check the mobile number you have entered.
