The upgrade board

Six upgrades, and the funding shaped for each

Most businesses pull ahead one improvement at a time. Find the one you are planning: what it usually replaces, how it tends to pay its way, and the programme that fits it.

  1. A card being tapped on a terminal at the counter.

    A faster point of sale

    Replaces
    A cash drawer and a card reader that drops out on a busy Saturday.
    How it earns its keep
    Shorter queues and fewer customers who give up at the till.

    Shaped for it

    Short Term Business Loan →

    $10K – $1M · 1 – 2 days

    A modest sum that clears within the year, so the new system is paid off while it is still new.

  2. A pickup towing a trailer along a road at sunset.

    A newer van or truck

    Replaces
    The vehicle that spends more days at the garage than on the road.
    How it earns its keep
    More jobs in a week, and repair bills that stop arriving.

    Shaped for it

    Equipment Financing →

    Up to $250K · 1 – 5 years

    The vehicle secures the financing, and the payments run over its working life.

  3. A designer leaning over her drawings for a new layout.

    A refit of the shop floor

    Replaces
    Tired fixtures, poor lighting and a layout customers have to work around.
    How it earns its keep
    A space people stay in longer and come back to.

    Shaped for it

    Term Loan →

    $20K – $1M · Within 24 hours

    One sum for the whole project, on a fixed schedule you can plan the reopening around.

  4. An office of new screens, one owner at work among them.

    Software and new computers

    Replaces
    Spreadsheets, old laptops and the system only one person understands.
    How it earns its keep
    Hours back every week, and fewer mistakes that cost money.

    Shaped for it

    Business Line of Credit →

    Up to $1M · 1 – 2 days

    Rollouts come in stages, so you draw as each one lands and pay only for what you have drawn.

  5. An owner beside a wall of new stock in her shop.

    A new product line

    Replaces
    Turning customers away because you do not carry what they asked for.
    How it earns its keep
    A bigger basket from the customers you already have.

    Shaped for it

    Working Capital →

    Up to $1M · 24 – 48 hours

    Stock has to be bought before it sells, and working capital bridges that gap on a short term.

  6. A baker pulling a full tray from the oven.

    A second machine on the line

    Replaces
    One machine that sets the pace for everything else.
    How it earns its keep
    Orders you could not take before, delivered on time.

    Shaped for it

    Business Cash Advance →

    $5K – $500K · 24 – 48 hours

    When the orders are already there, an advance on your card sales can move in days rather than weeks.

Every business is different, and so is every lender. Your specialist may suggest a different programme for your upgrade once they have seen the numbers.

How it works

From plan to funded, in three moves

Quick to start, with the comparing done alongside you.

Move 01

Tell us what you are upgrading

The amount, how to reach you, and a few questions about the business and the project. No documents at this stage, and no fee.

  • Free to apply
  • No paperwork to begin
  • No obligation to accept

Move 02

A specialist shapes the funding

Your application goes to LendSeek, our funding partner, where a specialist matches the upgrade to the programme and the lenders most likely to fund it.

  • Matched to the project, not just the sum
  • One application, many lenders
  • Offers gathered in one place

Move 03

Choose the offer, then make the move

You see each offer's total cost and schedule before you commit. Accept one and, once approved, funds can arrive in as little as 24 hours.

  • Full cost before you sign
  • Repayments you can plan around
  • Funding in as little as 24 hours once approved

The six

Six programmes, built for different moves

Each one has its own amounts, terms and speed. The upgrade board above shows which suits the move you are planning.

How we work

What you can count on

The project comes first
We start from what you are upgrading and why, then find the funding that fits it.
Costs you can compare
Every offer is set out with its total repayment, so two offers can be weighed side by side.
No pressure to borrow
If waiting or borrowing less makes more sense, your specialist will say so.
Nothing to pay to apply
The application is free, and seeing your offers commits you to nothing.
