About
Your business approaches a designated bank for an eligible lending facility (see eligibility criteria ). If your business makes an unsuccessful borrowing application to a designated bank, the bank is obliged to offer you a referral to the designated online finance platforms. If you consent to a referral, the bank will then provide your information to each of the platforms who will then contact you. These platforms will help you find a suitable finance provider that may be willing to offer the finance you require. NB - businesses also have the option of approaching the designated platforms, or other similar platforms, brokers and finance providers outside of the mandated bank.
