Business lending solutions

The main difference between residential and commercial lending, apart from the types of properties, is the assessment approach. Residential lenders generally adhere to strict policies designed for most loans, rarely straying from the guidelines. In contrast, commercial lending is more flexible, considering the unique and evolving needs of the business.

With this holistic lending approach, the responsibility often falls on a specific banker or credit officer to make the final decision. This method carries higher risk, so business lenders typically mitigate this risk by considering various factors that aren’t usually relevant in residential lending.

We’re equipped with extensive knowledge of various industries along with a comprehensive understanding of bank policy to help you navigate the complexities and find you a cost-effective solution quickly.

frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to use a mortgage broker for business loans?

Most of the time, nothing. The lenders pay us. In rare instances we will charge a fee for service but we will clearly articulate this prior to progressing with the application.  

What information do I need to apply for a business loan?

This can vary depending various factors including the loan type, purpose and amount. There are fast track options available which require minimal information including Business Activity Statements, self-declared business income verification and a personal statement of position. Generally applications for larger loans ($2m+) will require a more comprehensive suite of financial information including, but not limited to, two years of financial reports, tax returns, personal statement of position and ATO portals.

How long does the Business Loan application process take?

Application and approval times can range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the loan complexity and required documentation. We will be able to provide indicative turnaround times once we understand your specific situation and requirements.

Can I apply for a loan if my business is new?

Yes, we offer loans for startups, but they may require a more detailed business plan and higher scrutiny of your personal situation. Lenders seek comfort by sharing the ‘start up’ risk with you so more often than not, security in the form of property or a cash contribution will be required.

What are the typical interest rates for a business loan?

Interest rates vary based on the loan type, amount, term, your creditworthiness and the security position. Lenders will assess their risk based on these factors and provide an indicative quote accordingly. We negotiate with the lenders on your behalf to obtain the best rate possible for your situation.

Are there any fees associated with business loans?

Usually, yes. Fees may include application fees, valuation or legal fees, and ongoing maintenance fees. The beauty of using a broker is our ability to negotiate the reduction or possible waiver of some of these fees.

What is the difference between a secured and unsecured business loan?

Secured loans require collateral (property, cash or business assets) to secure the debt, while unsecured loans do not. Secured loans often have lower interest rates due to the reduced risk for the lender. Unsecured loans place a larger focus and reliance on cash flow within the business to support and mitigate the increased risk to the lender.
