Small Business Loans in Australia

There are over 2 million Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) businesses in Australia which account for more than 99% of all the enterprises in Australia.

Most of these businesses are unable to get timely funding from big banks due to various lending criteria like limited trading time, lower scale of operations, no security, no profitability, bad credit history etc. and hence is bound to shut down prematurely without exploring the full potential in their business.

This shortage of timely access to funds for small businesses had created a huge demand for cash flow lenders in the Australian markets. Thankfully, the advent of technology has given multiple private cash flow fintech lenders who are super quick to get the loans secured in as low as 3-4 hours with least documentation.

Small Business Loan Application Assessment

The small business loan application process is generally simple and based on a scoring matrix. Below are some of the factors we considered that we included in our scoring matrix:

The amount of a small business loan that is approved may vary depending on the industry in which a business operates. This is because each industry has its own method of collecting payments from customers. If your company primarily sells products directly to end-users (B2C), you may accept cash or credit card payments, which provide you with an immediate source of revenue, which is usually preferred by lenders. On the other hand, if your company primarily conducts commercial transactions with other businesses (B2B), where invoices are frequently used, lenders may view late payments as a risk, which may limit the amount of money you can borrow.

Lenders will generally consider the loan amount by evaluating a company’s cash flow and ability to service the loan. A higher average monthly income may allow you to borrow more money.

Though a small business loan can be obtained without any security, lenders give a higher weightage if the business or its directors are asset backed. It enables them to obtain a larger loan amount with better terms.

Credit score becomes an important factor in loan consideration for small businesses, which are mostly new and have a lower scale of operations. A higher credit score gives the lender more confidence to approve a larger loan amount and pricing, and vice versa.

Lenders may consider “time in business” as a factor in determining the business’s momentum. Lenders typically assume that businesses that have been in operation for more than a year are more likely to incur additional debt obligations. This, however, does not preclude new businesses from being approved for secured small business loans. It simply means that new companies may not be able to borrow as much as established companies. Your loan capacity will gradually increase over time as you make on-time repayments

At Broc Finance, we think every company has its own special strengths. We’re here to assist you in showcasing them to lenders, so you can get the best loan for your small business that meets your requirements.
