What is the difference between Finance Request Rejection and Finance Offer rejections?

A Finance Request rejection means your application for funding has been declined; a Finance Offer rejection means you are declining a specific lender’s offer/term sheet rather than being refused.

Finance Request rejection

  • This is the platform or a lender saying “no” to your request for finance (e.g. your €20m facility request does not meet criteria, or no lender is willing to price it).
  • Practical effect: you do not get any usable offers for that request; you may need to adjust amount, structure, or your underlying financial profile and try again.

Finance Offer rejection

  • Here, one or more lenders have responded with terms and you
    choose to reject that specific offer (e.g. rate too high, tenor too short, covenants too tight).
  • Practical effect: you are declining that proposal but can still accept a different lender’s offer, re‑run the Finance Calculator, or invite revised terms in the Bidding Room.

How they fit together in SportsFi

  • First you submit a Finance Request; if it passes filters, you receive multiple Finance Offers from pre‑qualified lenders.
  • A request rejection stops the process at source; an offer rejection is part of normal negotiation and selection, helping you narrow down to the most suitable and cost‑effective lender.
