What is a new start-up business loan?

As a startup ourselves, we understand many startups like yours are likely to struggle to access the finance you need to kick start and take your business to the next level. We love to help Australian entrepreneurs get the loans they need to make their startup dream come true.

As the name suggests, a startup business loan is a financing method to provide you with the startup capital you need to turn your startup into reality.

Debt Funding

Equity funding option may not be possible for all the businesses, or some business owners do not prefer to dilute their stake in the business. In such scenarios, debt funding is the most suitable alternative option to fund your new business. Generally, debt funding can be of two types.

Unsecured Business loans:

If you are a new business that has been trading for at least 6 months, you may be eligible for an unsecured business loan. This is the most suitable option for a new business as you do not need to provide any security against the loan.

Factors to consider when selecting the best startup business loan for you

As startup business loans in Australia come in many forms, it might be stressful for you to consider which one might be the best for your startup. Here are a few key components to help you evaluate your options:

1. Which stage of your startup are you in?

If you are just having a startup idea and have not yet taken any actions to develop your business, it might be difficult for you to convince lenders to provide you with an unsecured business loan. The more established your startup is, there will be more options available for you. In this instance, your only available option would be a secured business loan.

2. The amount of funding you are seeking

Although you may be thinking the more funds the better to give you contingency in the case of unexpected events, it is better to come up with a clear amount of funding that your business needs. With an amount in mind, it would be easier for you to select the best option out of the startup business loans.

3. The repayment terms

Generally, startup business loans are for shorter term so you should be careful with the repayment terms. You need to consider whether a weekly/fortnightly repayment option would be feasible or a capitalised interest or interest only repayment option would be more suitable for your business. Depending on your preference and eligibility, you may choose to go with a secured business loan or an unsecured business loan.

Things to keep in mind before applying for a Startup Business Loan

Startup business loans can be exciting to act as the seed funding to help kick start your business ideas. However, there are a few important things that one should always avoid while applying for a startup business loan.
