Loan Structures

How Business Loans Are Structured

🏭

Secured Business Loan

Backed by a business or personal asset such as property, equipment, or a vehicle. Security typically allows for larger loan amounts and more competitive structures. Suitable for established businesses with assets available to offer as collateral.

📋

Unsecured Business Loan

No asset security required. Approval is based primarily on business trading history, revenue, and credit profile. Generally used for smaller amounts or where the business does not have assets available to offer as security.

📈

Line of Credit

A revolving credit facility that allows a business to draw down funds as needed up to an approved limit. Interest is generally only charged on the amount drawn. Useful for managing irregular cashflow or funding short-term working capital needs.

What Lenders Assess

What Lenders Look for in a Business Loan Application

📅

Trading History

Most lenders want to see at least 12 to 24 months of trading history. Some specialist lenders can work with newer businesses, though the loan structures and criteria will differ.

💸

Revenue and Cashflow

Lenders assess your business revenue, cashflow patterns, and ability to service the proposed loan. Bank statements, BAS statements, and financial accounts are commonly required.

🏠

Security Available

Whether the loan is secured or unsecured affects the options available. Property, equipment, or other business assets can be used as security where available and appropriate.

Loan Purpose

Lenders want to understand how the funds will be used and how the loan will be repaid. A clear loan purpose with a logical repayment source generally supports a stronger application.

Common Questions

Business Loan FAQs

How quickly can a business loan be approved?
Timeframes depend on the lender, loan type, and completeness of documentation. Some unsecured business loans can be assessed quickly once documents are provided, while secured or larger facilities generally take longer. We will give you a realistic estimate based on the lender selected.
Do I need to provide security for a business loan?
Not always. Unsecured business loans are available, though they are typically for smaller amounts and assessed on trading history and cashflow. Secured loans generally allow for larger amounts and broader lender options.
Can a new business access a business loan?
Some lenders will work with newer businesses, though the criteria and structures differ from those available to established businesses. We can discuss what may be available based on your specific situation.
What documentation is typically required?
Commonly required documents include recent bank statements, BAS statements, tax returns or financial accounts, and identification. Requirements vary by lender and loan type. We will walk you through exactly what is needed before lodging an application.
Can I use a business loan alongside asset finance?
Yes. Business loans and asset finance often complement each other. For example, a business might use a business loan for working capital while separately financing a vehicle or piece of equipment through asset finance.
