The 4-step Finance Application flow

In SportsFi the finance application is a simple 4‑step flow:

prepare → apply → compare/negotiate → commit/fund
.

Each step sits on top of your existing transactional and financial data, so you avoid broker forms and one‑off lender portals.

1. Prepare: set up the case

  • You define what you want to fund (e.g. transfer receivable, central funds, working capital), how much, and over what term, using your existing finance data plus the Finance Calculator.
  • This creates the Finance Request object, which is effectively your structured application inside the platform.

2. Apply: submit one Finance Request

  • You “apply to access finance” by submitting that Finance Request into the Bidding Room via a short guided flow that takes a few minutes.
  • SportsFi then routes the Request to a panel of prequalified lenders whose mandates match your profile and the specific use case.

3. Compare and negotiate: receive Finance Offers

  • Panel Financiers review the Request and respond with Finance Offers (structured term sheets) attached to that Request.
  • You see multiple offers side-by-side, use the Finance Calculator and Financial Hub to compare cost and structure, and then shortlist and negotiate terms (rate, fees, tenor, covenants) with chosen lenders.

4. Commit and progress to funding

  • When you are satisfied with a lender’s terms, you accept the selected Finance Offer in SportsFi, which moves your Finance Request towards a funded/closed status while legal docs and conditions precedent are finalised off the same data rails.
  • If no offer is suitable, you can reject them, adjust parameters, or re‑run the process—there are no transaction or broking fees from SF; you only pay the subscription.
