How business loans works

That is why two businesses with similar turnover can walk away with very different offers. Credit history, cash in the bank, time trading, security and the reason for the loan all change which lenders will say yes, and on what terms.

You apply with basic business details and usually bank statements. The lender assesses your cash flow, credit and any security offered, then makes an offer that sets the amount, term, rate or fee, and repayment frequency. Unsecured loans usually rely on cash flow and a director guarantee. Secured loans use property or assets, which can lift the amount available and lower the cost.

Who it suits

  • Funding growth, fit-outs, hiring or marketing
  • Covering a gap between paying suppliers and getting paid
  • Consolidating expensive short-term debt into one facility
  • Businesses that want a fixed schedule and a clear end date

What lenders look at

  • Time trading and ABN or GST registration
  • Monthly turnover and consistency of deposits in bank statements
  • Business and director credit history
  • Existing debts, including ATO debt
  • Security available, such as property or equipment

Things to watch

  • Compare total repayable, not just the headline rate. Establishment and other fees can matter as much as the rate.
  • Check the early repayment terms if you might pay the loan out early.
  • Daily or weekly repayments feel small but add up. Make sure they suit your cash cycle.

Business Loans: common questions

What is the difference between a secured and unsecured business loan?

An unsecured business loan does not take a specific asset as security, although lenders usually take a personal guarantee from directors. A secured loan is backed by property or business assets. Security usually means higher limits and lower pricing, while unsecured loans are typically faster and need less paperwork.

How long do I need to be trading to get a business loan?

It depends on the lender. Some online lenders publish minimums from around six months trading, while banks and many non-bank lenders prefer two years or more. Property-secured and private lenders can sometimes look past a short trading history if the security is strong.

Will comparing business loans affect my credit score?

Browsing products on this site does not involve a credit check. A lender may run a credit enquiry when you formally apply, so it is worth narrowing down the lenders most likely to approve you before applying to several.

Why is the rate I am offered different from the advertised rate?

Business finance pricing is individual. Advertised figures are usually starting rates. Your offer depends on your credit history, trading performance, security, industry and the loan structure you choose.
