In SportsFi,
finance requests and offers are the two core building blocks of getting
a finance deal done: the club/GP creates a Finance Request, and lenders
respond with Finance Offers. The sub table view is the way SportsFi
shows multiple offers underneath a single request so you can compare, negotiate
and choose one.
1. Finance
Request – the parent row
A Finance Request is your
structured ask: amount, purpose (e.g. transfer receivable, central funds,
working capital), tenor and key parameters, built with SportsFi data and
the Finance Calculator.
In the main deal list this
appears as one row: that is the parent object all lender activity
hangs off below it.
2. Finance
Offers – the sub-table under the request
When lenders
respond, each response is a Finance Offer attached to that one request:
Each Finance Offer is a term
sheet style proposal: facility size, rate/margin, fees, tenor, structure
(e.g. receivables vs term loan), covenants and estimated funding timeline.
In the deal list, these offers
appear in a list under the Finance Request, letting you see
multiple lenders and structures for the same ask side-by-side.
Typical sub-table
columns might include:
Lender name / product type.
Amount, interest rate, fees,
tenor.
Estimated time to funding.
Status (Submitted,
In negotiation, Accepted, Rejected, Withdrawn).

Mechanics of getting a deal done
Submit one Finance Request
You apply once via SportsFi’s
guided flow; SportsFi uses your deal and financial data plus the
calculator, then routes that single request to the panel of suitable
lenders.
Panel lenders send Finance
Offers
Prequalified lenders review the
request and send back Finance Offers, which populate the sub table under
that request.
You now have multiple concrete
options for the same finance need, all in one place.
Compare and negotiate using the
sub-table
You compare offers in the sub
table and use the Finance Calculator / Financial Hub to model cost and
impact.
You shortlist one or more
offers and enter negotiation (e.g. asking to improve rate, fees,
covenants) while SportsFi tracks each offer’s status beneath the request.
Accept one offer and close
When happy, you accept one
Finance Offer; request moves
towards a funded/closed state, and the chosen offer becomes the deal that
proceeds into documentation and drawdown.
Other offers in the sub-table
naturally fall away (left as rejected/expired) but remain visible for
audit and future benchmarking.
So
conceptually: one Finance Request row at the top, many Finance Offers in a sub
table beneath it, and the mechanics of “getting a deal done” are about
moving from multiple competing sub table offers to a single accepted one that
funds—without ever leaving SportsFi or paying broking/transaction fees
