Industry hub
Fast business finance by industry
How lenders read builders, venues, clinics, freight operators, farms and more — and what speeds up a loan in each industry.
How lenders read your industry
A builder waiting on progress claims, a café riding the weekend peak and a clinic funding a new chair all borrow for different reasons — and lenders look for different things in each. Seasonal swings, debtor days, contract terms and the equipment you own all change what a fast approval needs.
These pages explain the funding patterns in each industry, the documents that speed up an assessment and the questions a specialist will ask on the first call.

Read the industry guide →Questions about industries
Do some industries find it harder to get a fast business loan?
Some unsecured lenders avoid industries with volatile income or heavy contract risk. With property security, industry matters less because the lender relies mainly on the equity and a sensible exit.
What do lenders check regardless of industry?
Time trading, bank statement conduct, any ATO debt, the purpose of the loan and how you'll repay it. Property equity is assessed where security is offered.
Is my industry covered if it isn't listed?
Almost certainly. The pages cover common industries, but funding is available to most trading Australian businesses. Describe your business accurately in the enquiry and a specialist will take it from there.
