Getting a request started
What to expect along the way
Business basics
Answer the form’s questions about the operation and provide accurate owner contact details.
Complete the request
Review the disclosures and the information entered, then verify your mobile number before sending it.
Defining the expense
Examples of expenses to outline
Production equipment
Camera bodies, lenses and lighting may need compatible accessories and storage. Compare the full purchase cost with hire requirements for the work already booked.
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.
Project expenses
Location fees, assistants and travel can be committed before the client pays the balance. Separate deposits already received from the remaining cost of delivering the shoot.

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.
