How it works

From estimate to funder decision in four steps

Follow a clear sequence from first estimate through secure application to final funder review.

  1. Finance estimate

    Share project scope, supplier detail, and total cost to produce an indicative finance estimate.

  2. Secure application

    When ready, continue through secure application and provide supporting documentation.

  3. IQ Finance broker review

    IQ Finance reviews project scope, business context, and structure before matching the case to suitable funders.

  4. Funder decision

    The matched funder completes final review and decisioning. Outcomes remain subject to status, lender criteria, affordability, documentation, and approval.

  • Delivery is phased across sites, premises, or operational units.
  • Installation and setup form part of the financed project scope.
  • You want to size the structure before committing to supplier contracts.
