Prepare once. Make a more informed choice.

What to have ready

  • Last 6-12 months of business bank statements
  • Profit and loss statement and balance sheet (preferably accountant-prepared)
  • Last 2 quarters of BAS statements
  • Director's personal financial position and existing commitments
  • Details of all existing business loans, overdrafts, and credit facilities
  • Clear explanation of what the funds will be used for

Requirements vary by lender. Please use the enquiry form for contact details only; your broker can explain how to provide documents securely.

What to watch out for

  • Using a short-term facility to fund a long-term project, creating unnecessary repayment pressure
  • Applying without clean financial records - lenders need to see organised books
  • Not stress-testing your repayment capacity against a revenue drop
  • Mixing personal and business funding when they should stay separate

Questions about business loans

How much can my business borrow?

It depends on your revenue, existing debts, and the purpose of the loan. We assess your actual cash flow capacity rather than using generic formulas.

What's the difference between working capital and a term loan?

Working capital is a revolving facility you draw on as needed - it's designed for ongoing cash flow management. A term loan is a fixed amount repaid over a set period, better suited to specific purchases or projects.

Can I get a business loan if I'm self-employed?

Yes. We work with lenders who understand self-employed income and can assess your application using tax returns and business financials rather than standard employment documentation.

Can I get business funding without full financials?

Sometimes. Some lenders may consider BAS, business bank statements, accountant-prepared figures, trading history, or asset security, but the pathway depends on funding purpose, turnover, conduct, and lender policy.

How long does it take to get approved?

It varies by facility type and lender. Simple working capital facilities can be approved within days, while larger term loans may take a few weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
