Finance by purpose

Funding for technology

Technology funding covers systems that change how the business runs: a new platform, hardware refresh, software implementation or the migration project that comes with it.

Structures

How technology is usually funded

The right structure depends on how quickly the funding pays for itself. These are the options most often used for this purpose.

  • Medium-term facilities matched to the system's useful life
  • Growth finance where the project supports expansion
  • Staged funding across implementation phases

Assessment

What affects the amount available

  • Total project cost including implementation and training
  • Whether the system reduces cost or increases capacity
  • Trading history and affordability
  • Existing technology commitments and subscriptions

Preparation

What to have ready

None of this is mandatory before you start, but having it to hand makes the conversation quicker and the answer more accurate.

  1. Vendor quotes covering licences and implementation

  2. A realistic implementation timeline

  3. The efficiency or capacity case behind the project

Business finance is a commitment. Repayments must be met from business income, and missed payments can affect your business. Consider affordability before applying.
