A clear path from application to funded.
We built the process to remove guesswork. Here is what happens after you apply, and what stays in your control at each step.
What happens after you apply.
A member of our team keeps you posted at each step, and nothing moves forward without your go-ahead.
- Step 01
Share the basics
Tell us your time in business, monthly revenue, and what the capital is for. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
You control: what you share, and whether anything moves forward.
- Step 02
We route your file
Our team reviews what you sent and passes it to third-party funding partners suited to your business, industry, and goals.
You control: who can reach you. Partners first see a business summary without your contact information, and your full file goes to a funder only when you tell us in writing.
- Step 03
Compare offers in dollars
When partners respond, we put each offer on one page with the amount, the payment schedule, and the total cost in dollars, and we answer your questions.
You control: the questions. We answer them in plain language.
- Step 04
Choose your timing
Take an offer, ask for more detail, or walk away. You complete final paperwork directly with the partner you pick, and that partner sets the funding timeline.
You control: the decision. Nothing is charged to you at any step.
Come prepared.
Requirements vary by partner and product. Most applications go smoother when you already have these on hand.
Have these on hand
- Recent business bank statements, usually the last three to four months
- Basic business details: entity type, time in business, and industry
- A government-issued ID for the primary business owner
- A clear sense of how much you need and what it is for
A few things owners ask first.
Does starting an application commit me to anything?
No. An application lets us review your business and look for matches. You decide whether to move forward with any offer.
Who do I owe if I accept an offer?
You contract directly with the funding partner that makes the offer, not with Trident. We handle the introduction and help you read the terms.
What should I have ready?
Recent business bank statements, basic business details, and owner identification. Some partners ask for more, depending on the funding type.
Funding partners pay Trident a fee when a match funds. You pay Trident nothing to apply, to compare offers, or to walk away.
The full compensation and broker relationship terms are set out in our Terms of Use.

Applying is free and does not obligate you to accept any offer. Funding partners pay Trident when a match funds, and you never pay us.
