The problem
Most founders take the wrong capital, because no one read their business like a lender.
"I got declined — and no one will tell me why."
The black-box rejection
"A broker put me in an MCA that's strangling my cash flow."
The wrong product, sold fast
"Three lenders, three different numbers."
No way to compare
"Is my business even ready to borrow yet?"
Asking blind
You don't have a funding problem. You have a clarity problem — that's what we fix first.
Free · 90 seconds · no documents
The free Borrowing Readiness Check.

Answer a handful of quick questions in simple bands — no exact figures, no documents, no bank access. You'll get an instant, indicative read on how ready to borrow your business looks today.

A clear borrowing-readiness verdict

Red, amber or green — and what it means for your business right now.

An indicative facility range

The kind of facility you could realistically explore at your size.

Your three biggest levers

What's working in your favour — and what's holding you back.

Free Borrowing Readiness Check → Indicative and self-reported — a fast snapshot, not a full diagnostic.
The money you could keep
Keep more in your bank account.

Without a Read, a typical brand borrows at 200–400 bps above what it'd qualify for — cash straight out of your account. See what you could keep. Pick a scenario, or drag your own.

How it works
An application, not a sales call.

We fund eCommerce and retail brands ourselves. A merchant cash advance is a purchase of a portion of your future receivables — not a loan, and not an introduction to somebody else’s lender.

01

Apply

A few minutes, no documents. Tell us about the business and what you’re funding.

Free
02

We check the basics

Automatically, against the company register and your own website — that you’re trading, solvent, and in an industry we fund.

Usually minutes
03

Show us the money

Connect your bank read-only in about a minute — we never see your login — or upload six months of statements.

Read-only
04

Your funding range

We read how your revenue actually arrives, and how reliably, then come back with an indicative amount and a structure that fits it.

No obligation
05

Funded

We advance the money ourselves and take an agreed share of your receipts until the purchased amount is delivered.

Our own capital
Why us, not a broker
The difference is who pays us.
A typical broker
MarginLabs
Paid by
The lender, on volume — the more you borrow, the more they earn.
You. So our only job is the right answer.
Reads your business
No — they forward your docs to whoever bites.
Properly, like an underwriter — before going to market.
Tells you "don't"
Never — a declined deal is lost commission.
Often. We pass on bad capital and show you why.
Commission
Hidden in the rate you're quoted.
Disclosed to the penny, in writing.
Questions founders ask
Before you upload a single file.
Is it safe to share my bank statements and financials?+
Yes. Everything you upload is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in a private EU-hosted folder, and visible only to your named analyst. You can ask us to permanently delete all of it at any time. See our Privacy Policy and Data Rights page.
Do I have to pay to get started?+
No. Applying is free, and so is getting a decision. A merchant cash advance has no interest rate — you deliver an agreed total out of your receipts, and that total is written into your agreement, in cash, before you sign anything.
Do I need to give you access to my bank?+
Not to apply — the application form asks for no documents at all. To get a decision, yes: we underwrite on money that has actually moved, not on a form. Connecting is read-only and takes about a minute, and we never see your login. If you would rather not connect, upload six months of statements as PDF or CSV instead.
What makes you different from a finance broker?+
We are not one. A broker is paid by lenders to place you, so the incentive is the biggest deal rather than the right one. We are a principal funder: the money is our own, we take no commission from third-party lenders, and if an advance is the wrong answer for your business we will tell you so.
Who actually reads my business?+
An ACA-qualified chartered accountant reads your file personally. You get findings in plain English, each tied to a number you can point to — never an opaque score.
"This is where your first client's words will go — a real quote, once you've delivered your first Read."

Find out what you'd really qualify for.

Start with your free Borrowing Readiness Check — 90 seconds, no documents, no obligation.

This is an indicative readiness guide, not a credit check. It does not access your credit file, leave a footprint, or appear on any formal credit report, and it is not a lending decision or an offer of finance.
