By industry

Sectors with their own finance shape

Tradies need working capital tied to invoice cycles. Healthcare practices fund equipment differently to retailers funding inventory. Hospitality operators carry seasonal turn. Each sector has lenders who price the risk properly because they understand the cashflow shape.

Why work with a broker

Business finance, structured around the cashflow

The biggest mistake in SME finance is forcing a structure to fit a lender, instead of finding the lender whose product fits the structure. A broker reads the BAS, the P&L, and the trading rhythm, then maps that to a panel of more than 50 Australian business lenders, banks, non-banks, fintech, and asset specialists. Result: the right product, priced properly, decided on the cashflow profile, not on whichever bank you happened to walk into first. Lender pays the broker on settlement; full disclosure in the Credit Guide.

Business Loan FAQs

What types of business loans are available?
Brokers in the partner network arrange working capital loans, expansion funding, commercial property finance, lines of credit, invoice finance, and startup funding. Both secured and unsecured options are available depending on your needs and circumstances.
Can I get a business loan as a new business?
Yes, we have lenders who specialise in new business and startup finance. While some lenders require 2+ years of trading history, others will consider businesses from ABN registration. Options and rates vary based on your circumstances.
What documents do I need for a business loan?
Typically we need your ABN/ACN details, recent business financial statements (P&L, balance sheet), personal tax returns, bank statements, and a brief description of the loan purpose. Low-doc options are available for some loan types.
How quickly can I get approved?
Approval times vary by loan type and amount. Unsecured business loans under $250K can often be approved within 24-48 hours. Larger secured loans or commercial property finance may take 1-2 weeks.
Do I need to provide security?
Not always. Brokers in the partner network arrange unsecured business loans up to $500K for qualifying businesses. For larger amounts or better rates, security such as property or equipment may be required.
What are the interest rates on business loans?
Business-finance rates vary widely by structure (term, line of credit, invoice, asset-backed), security, lender, and the strength of the business case. Secured loans price meaningfully below unsecured. Live rates sit with each lender on their rate card; brokers in the partner network compare current pricing across the panel against your specific situation.
