Eligibility

Built around how Australian small business actually works.

We look at the health of your business — not big-bank-style thresholds. If you're trading and your cash flow is real, you can almost certainly apply.

01

Australian business with an ABN

You must hold an active ABN. We lend to companies, trusts, partnerships and sole traders.

02

At least 6 months of trading history

Newer than that and we won't have enough of a picture to underwrite responsibly.

03

Monthly turnover from $5,000

We look at the health of your cash flow more than any single threshold — but $5K/month is the floor.

Walked through. Then signed.

A straightforward contract. A real person on the phone.

Once we approve your loan, your specialist talks you through the amount, term and repayments, then sends the contract for your sign-off. Plain English, walked through line by line.

If you have questions, you call your specialist direct — not a queue, not a chatbot, not a different person each time.

Bridging a slow month so the team gets paid on time.
Fit-out
New premises, renovations, or refreshing the customer-facing space.
Marketing
Funding a campaign that needs to spend before it earns.
Tax & ATO
Smoothing a quarterly bill instead of denting working capital.

Other
Whatever moves your business forward — it's your call.
About the loan

Five of the questions we hear most about how the loan works. The full FAQ — eligibility, applying, repayments, support — is on its own page.

It depends on the loan size and your situation. Many of our smaller loans don't require security over your assets. Larger loans may require additional security — your specialist will explain exactly what's needed for your application before you commit.

It's a single product, so the structure is the same for every borrower. Once approved, every repayment is a fixed dollar figure for the whole term — no variable element. Your specialist confirms the amount, term and repayment with you before you sign.

Yes — a single establishment fee is charged on settlement and wrapped into the loan. Your specialist confirms the figure before you sign anything.

Yes — we call these refinances. Once you've shown a clean repayment history, a refinance is typically a much faster conversation than the first loan. Many of our customers come back when the next opportunity comes up.

Talk to us first — life happens, and a missed payment isn't the end of the world. We'll work with you on a short-term arrangement to get back on track. Genuine communication almost always finds a fix.
