Watch the video to follow the full process to apply for Capital and to see how to navigate around the Capital Application.

Before you proceed, please ensure that you meet the necessary criteria for your application to be accepted. If you have any questions, you can take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s), which are also included in the Capital Application.

You will need the following information regarding your Product for the Application:

  • Product dimensions;

  • Product weight;

  • Product cost;

  • Number of units per carton;

  • Number of cartons;

  • Marketplaces you will be selling in;

  • HS Code and Duty Rate.

To start the application, please go to mpshcapital.com

First you will need to register your interest and join the waiting list. Fill in your name, email and add a password. If you have a Signup Code as part of a promotion, please enter it here.

Then click on Join List.

You will see a confirmation message.

Check your emails for a message from SH Capital. The message mentions bubbleapps - this is where the application is currently set up and is correct. Click on the link provided.

You will be asked to set a new password. Enter the same email address that you used to join the waiting list for the Capital Application.

You will then be asked to enter a new password and re-type it. Then click on confirm.

You will be taken to the Welcome page where you need to answer the 3 questions and provide further details on why you need the finance and what you will do with it if successful. If you cannot answer yes to the first 2 questions, your application will not be successful.

Then click on next.

Then complete your Company details. If you don’t have a Company set up yet, then you will need to do this before you can proceed as this is part of the necessary criteria.

The Company email will automatically populate with the email that you used to sign up with. If this is different to your Company email, you can change it here.

You will then receive a holding message.

Once you have received an email from us confirming you have been accepted, access the application and click on log in.

Complete your login details and click on Login again.

If this is the first time that you have logged in, there will be no data. However, once you have created an application, the details will appear here. Click on Create Application to start.

You will arrive at the first page of the application. We’ll work our way down the page, step by step.

As the Capital Application isn’t linked to the EcoSystem, your Suppliers will need to be created if this is the first time you have applied. Your Suppliers will then be saved for future use.

Info

You can apply for Capital for more than one Product in the same application, however, the Products would need to be ordered from the same Supplier and the Product types would both have to be new or both would have to be existing. You cannot have one new Product and one existing Product.

Click on create Supplier if the relevant Supplier hasn’t been set up or choose from the list of Suppliers.

If you clicked on Create new supplier, this will open up a box for you to complete. Then click save or close if you don’t want to add the supplier details. However, you won’t be able to continue without completing your application.

Then once saved, select that Supplier.

Select the currency that you want to borrow in. The current choices are United States Dollars (USD) and Great British Pounds (GBP).

Then you need to advise whether the Product is a new one or an existing one that you already sell on Amazon.

New Products

If you select New, the next question is regarding validation.

If you select no, you won’t be able to continue any further with the Application.

If you select yes, you will need to advise which method was used to validate your Product.

If you select the Validator Application, you will be asked to enter the Validation Order Number that will be on the EcoSystem against that validation.

Alternatively, if you select MPSH Coach, you need to add in the name of the Coach who validated your Product for you. Validations are logged by the Coaches and the Capital Team will be able to check the validation log for confirmation.

Existing Products

If you choose Existing Product, you will be asked if you currently have stock in any of our warehouses, in Amazon or currently being shipped to our warehouses.

If you select Yes, you will need to advise how much stock you have and where it currently is.

If you select No, there are no further questions to answer and you can continue with the Application. However, the Capital Team will contact you for further information regarding current performance of the Product you are requesting capital for. They will also require access to your Amazon Central Seller Account.

The next step is to fill in the details of the Product you are financing:

  1. The SKU that you have set up on the EcoSystem.

  2. The Product name or description.

  3. The ASIN - if you don’t know the ASIN yet, you can leave it blank as it isn’t a mandatory field.

  4. The FOB cost for each individual unit which you should have negotiated with your Supplier.

  5. Add the Product dimensions in CM and the weight in KG for each individual unit and the total order quantity.

  6. Add the Carton dimensions in CM and the weight in KG for each carton and the number of units per carton.

Then add in the total number of cartons that you are ordering. This figure should equal the order quantity divided by the number of units per carton.

So for example, if you were ordering 500 units and there were 50 units per carton, the number of cartons would be 10.

As soon as you input the units per carton, you will get a red warning message as a reminder of what you should be inputting. This doesn’t mean that you have input anything incorrectly. However, if you input the incorrect number of cartons, this message will stay as red until you correct the error.

Once you input the correct figure in the number of cartons, this message will no longer be highlighted in red.

Choose the Chinese Port of origin - either Ningbo or Shenzhen.

Then select all the countries that you are sending your Product to. Three boxes will appear for you to complete:

  • The number of cartons you are sending to that country;

  • The HS Code for that Product;

  • The Duty Rate for that Product.

Please ensure that you are as accurate as possible with the HS Code and the Duty Rate. This will be checked by the Freight Team and if incorrect, may need to be amended which could have a negative impact on your profit calculations.

When you input the details, please ensure that the number of cartons you input, add up to the total number of cartons you are ordering.

As you input the number of cartons for each country, you will see this in the ‘Allocated’ number and the field ‘To Allocate’ will show the number of cartons you have left to input.

The red warning message will remain until you have input the correct number of cartons.

Then enter any additional costs you may have such as extra packaging.

Choose Save to save the details or Cancel if you decide not to go ahead. If you click on Save, this doesn’t mean you are applying for the Capital, it just saves the details so that you can review the figures before proceeding further.

Once you have saved your Application, you will be taken to an overview of it and the Application Reference is displayed at the top. If you have any queries regarding your Applications, you should quote this number in your email.

You can add another Product to your order but please bear in mind:

  1. Any additional Products will need to be ordered from the same Supplier. When you go to the application page, there will be no option to choose a different Supplier. If you need capital for 2 Products from 2 Suppliers, you will need to create a new application for each.

  2. Your Products must be of the same type i.e. either both new Products or both existing Products.

You can view the Payment Schedule.

This will show you the full breakdown of your Application including start dates and repayment figures.

There is a holiday period of 12 weeks where no repayments are required other than your deposit and you can see how long you have until your first payment is due.

The deposit rate automatically defaults to 30%. However, you are able to change this and the figures will change when you choose a different deposit rate. The current options to choose from are 10% up to 50%, bearing in mind that whatever deposit you pay, will be the percentage of the Product that will be available for you to replenish when the stock arrives in the warehouse.

So if you only pay a 10% deposit, you will only have access to 10% of the stock until you have paid more off the Capital.

Once you have chosen your deposit rate and are happy with the repayment figures, you can click on Save.

When you do, an Apply now button will appear. You can either Apply now or click on Close to return to the overview. You will be able to go back into the Application at a later date to apply.

From the overview page, you can click on Back.

This will take you through to a list of your current applications that are in progress. You can click on the icons on the right:

  1. View icon - this will take you to the overview page (shown above).

  2. Dollar icon - this will take you to the payment details page where you can change your deposit rate and Apply for the Capital.

  3. Bin icon - you can delete this Application if you don’t want to proceed. If you click on Apply now from the payment details page, this option will not be available to choose as the Application is being reviewed by the Capital Team.

If you click on the dollar icon and then select Apply now from the payment details page, you will receive a message advising no changes can be made once your Application has been sent.

Either click on Apply or Cancel.

If you click on Apply, you will notice that the Status has changed from Open to Applied and the delete option is no longer available.


Lastly, to cover off the navigation bar that appears on every page, if you click on Applications, you will go to your list of current Applications.

If you click on FAQ, this will load up all the Frequently Asked Questions.

If you click on the bar to the right side of the question, the answer will appear.

If you click on Logout, you will be logged straight out of the Application.
