If your situation is fairly standard
Trading a while, steady income, clear purpose? Go straight to our partners. LoanOptions.ai handles business, equipment and vehicle loans, and FundTap handles cash flow and invoice finance for trades. It's quick and you'll hear back from them directly.
If it's a little outside the box
Plenty of good businesses don't fit a lender's tick-boxes. If any of these sound like you, flick us an email before you apply:
- A new ABN, or you've only been trading a few months
- A patchy or broken trading history
- A recent tax debt or a payment arrangement with the ATO
- Seasonal or lumpy income
- A non-standard asset you want to buy or borrow against
- You've been declined somewhere else
- A mix of personal and business needs you're trying to untangle
A real person reads every email. We'll look at your situation and point you to the right partner or option. We can't promise an approval or a rate, as that's always up to the lender, but we'll try to find a path.
