FAQs
What licences do I need?
You’ll need to hold all relevant trade and business licences required for the work you perform, including electrical contractor and Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation where applicable. You must also comply with state and territory regulations for your services. Our partner team can help you confirm what documents apply to your business before you submit.
How long does onboarding take?
Most vendors can complete the application and document upload in one sitting (around 15 minutes). Review timeframes vary depending on the information provided, but our team aims to process applications as quickly as possible and will contact you if anything is missing.
Can I recommend Finkey to customers immediately?
You can begin recommending Finkey once your business has been approved and onboarded into the network. This ensures customers receive finance options from verified, compliant partners and helps protect both your business and Finkey’s funding process.
Can my staff or installers be added under my business?
Yes. You can add employees, subcontractors, or installers under your business profile, provided they meet Finkey’s compliance and verification requirements. This helps ensure everyone working under your company aligns with our quality and safety standards.
What documents will I need to upload?
Typically, you’ll be asked to provide business registration details, relevant licences and accreditations, and insurance information (such as public liability). Specific requirements may vary based on your trade and location.
How do payments work for funded jobs?
Once a project is completed and confirmed by the customer, Finkey pays your business directly in line with the agreed process. This helps improve cash flow and reduces the need to chase customer payments.
