Speed

How fast can I get a business loan in Australia?

With property equity, $20k to $250k is possible same day and up to $5m is possible within 24–48 hours when the valuation, title and signing all line up. Without property, same-day funding is possible for smaller unsecured amounts backed by strong bank statements. Larger unsecured amounts usually take a few business days.

What's the single biggest factor in how fast I'm funded?

Whether you can offer property security with clear equity. After that, it's preparation — current ID, evidence of purpose, and either property documents or bank statements ready to send.

Can I be funded on a weekend?

Most lenders and settlement teams work business days, so weekend enquiries are usually funded on the next business day. Enquiring on the weekend still puts you first in the queue.

Does my state affect how quickly I'm funded?

Only through time zones and property logistics. Settlements run on east-coast business hours, so businesses in WA, SA and the NT should start early in their day. Property anywhere in Australia can be considered as security.

Eligibility

How much can my business borrow?

Property-secured business loans range from $20,000 to $5,000,000 using first mortgages, second mortgages or caveats over residential or commercial property. Unsecured, cash-flow and line-of-credit options typically run from $5,000 to $500,000, sized on turnover and bank statements.

Can a new business get a fast loan?

Usually only with property security. Unsecured lenders generally want to see a trading history in your bank statements. If you or a director own property with equity, a secured loan can work even for a young business.

Can I get a business loan with bad credit?

Past credit issues are considered case by case. Property security often matters more than credit history for a short-term loan, as long as there's a clear, believable way to repay.

Can I borrow to pay an ATO debt?

Yes, ATO debt is considered case by case, and funding can be paid directly to the ATO. Have your current statement of account and any payment-plan details ready.

Can sole traders and trusts apply?

Yes. Sole traders, partnerships, companies and trusts can all apply. Trusts need a copy of the trust deed so the lender can confirm the trustee's power to borrow and give security.

Can I use the loan for personal expenses?

No. All options are for business purposes only.

Cost and process

Why don't you publish interest rates?

Every loan is priced on the business's circumstances — security, term, purpose, exit and risk. A headline rate would mislead more people than it helped. You'll see the full cost in dollars before you sign, and the loan cost calculator helps you compare offers.

Does enquiring affect my credit score?

No. There's no credit check when you first enquire. A credit check only comes up once you've chosen an option and decided to go ahead.

Will my details be passed to lots of lenders?

No. We don't spray enquiries around. A real person looks at your situation and your details go only where there's a genuine fit.

What documents will I need?

Photo ID, ABN or ACN details, evidence of what the money is for, and either property documents (rates notice, mortgage statement) or business bank statements and BAS. Use the documents checklist for a tailored list.

Who will I speak to?

A lending specialist who reads your enquiry and calls you. The same person works your file, so you're not repeating yourself to a new voice at every step.

Why do you ask for accurate answers on the form?

Because the amount, your state, your time trading and any property you own decide which pathway is fastest. Accurate answers mean the first option we bring you is the right one — and nobody's time is wasted.

Security and repayment

What's the difference between a caveat and a second mortgage?

A caveat is a notice lodged on the property title that protects the lender's interest; it can usually be put in place quickly and suits short terms. A second mortgage is a registered mortgage that sits behind your existing home or commercial loan and suits larger or longer needs.

Do I need an exit strategy?

For short-term property-secured loans, yes. Lenders want to know how the loan will be repaid — a property sale, a refinance, incoming receivables or trading cash flow — and roughly when.
