Frequently Asked Questions
Does this toolkit provide purchase order funding?
No. It is a workbook and preparation guide. Chesly.Tech does not lend money, arrange funding or guarantee that any funder will approve an application. It helps you model assumptions, review readiness and organise supporting records before you contact a provider.
What costs should I enter in the calculator?
Enter the supplier or stock cost and other direct costs relevant to the order, such as transport, labour or packaging. Use figures from current written quotations where available, and check whether each amount includes VAT before comparing totals.
How should I choose the funding fee rate?
Use the rate and fee basis quoted by the funder for your specific transaction. Funding providers may calculate fees differently, and the workbook example is not a market guarantee or offer. Confirm the total repayment and timing in writing before agreeing.
Which documents should I prepare before applying?
Start with the checklist in the workbook. Common items include the confirmed purchase order, supplier quotations, company registration details, tax compliance status, business bank confirmation and customer verification. A funder may ask for additional information or use its own requirements.
