Trial terms
The terms of a free trial, to print, fill in and keep, one copy for each side. They follow our impartiality policy. Version of 23 October 2026.
1. What is tried
- The trial pack at fundladder.uk/demo: the page for businesses a bank has turned down, the funding options questions (trial copy), adviser mode and the embed, as ticked below.
- They are the site's own tools and content. During the trial they change only as fundladder.uk changes, for example when a fact is checked again or a scheme changes.
2. The tools stay as they are
- The trial partner cannot change the order of the routes, the results, the readiness checklists, the wording, the disclaimer, the sources or the Last checked dates, during the trial or after it.
- The trial partner does not present Fundladder as its own, and does not suggest that Fundladder endorses it, its products or any provider.
- If the embed is used, it is shown as it is, in a frame of its own, and is never pre-filled with products or prices.
3. No data
- Nothing a business types in the trial pack is passed to the trial partner or kept by Fundladder. The trial copy has no box for describing the business, so nothing is sent to an AI company.
- The company check, if used, passes a company name or number to Companies House and keeps nothing.
- Fundladder counts nothing on its pages. Any counts in the trial result come from the trial partner's own pages.
4. Free, for a fixed time
- No money changes hands during the trial.
- A trial lasts up to three months for a public body, trade body or adviser network, and up to 90 days for a bank, whose trial is for its staff only, with no live customer journey.
- Either side can stop the trial at any time by email.
5. At the end
- The trial partner writes a short result: what its advisers or staff found, and any counts from its own pages. Fundladder may publish it only with the trial partner's agreement.
- What happens next is agreed below, before the trial starts: the trial ends, or a paid licence follows at the price written below, under its own written agreement.
6. Published
- Once the trial partner agrees to the trial starting, its name, the kind of body it is and the trial dates are listed on fundladder.uk/demo.
