Hospitality & Cafes Business Loan FAQs

Can I get a loan to open a new cafe or restaurant?

Yes. We can help finance the costs of opening a new hospitality venue including fitout, equipment, initial stock, and working capital. Lenders will typically want to see your industry experience, a business plan, and your financial position.

What hospitality equipment can be financed?

All commercial hospitality equipment qualifies including commercial ovens and cooktops, coffee machines, refrigeration, dishwashers, POS systems, furniture and fixtures, and signage. Equipment can be financed separately or as part of a fitout package.

How do lenders view hospitality businesses?

Hospitality is considered a higher-risk industry by some lenders due to competitive pressures and lower margins. However, specialist hospitality lenders understand the sector and assess applications based on trading history, location, and your experience in the industry.

Can I get finance for a venue renovation?

Yes. Renovation and refurbishment finance is available for hospitality businesses. This can cover construction, new equipment, furniture, and compliance upgrades. The key is demonstrating how the renovation will improve revenue.

What if my cafe is seasonal?

Seasonal hospitality businesses can access loans with flexible repayment structures. Some lenders offer higher repayments during peak season and lower payments during quiet periods to match your actual cash flow.

Do I need security for a hospitality business loan?

Unsecured loans are available up to $150,000 for qualifying hospitality businesses. For larger amounts, lenders may accept equipment, the business itself, or property as security. Having security typically results in lower interest rates.

WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the example given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees, or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate. Comparison rates are based on a secured loan of $30,000 over 5 years for vehicle finance and $50,000 over 5 years for equipment finance, as required under the National Credit Code.
