FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our lending process and products.

Eligibility & Requirements

What credit score do I need to qualify?

We understand that traditional credit scores don't always reflect your ability to repay. While we consider credit history, we focus more on your security, exit strategy, and the deal itself. Many clients with imperfect credit histories have successfully secured funding with us.

What are the minimum and maximum loan amounts?

We offer loans from $50,000 to $20,000,000+. The specific amount depends on your security, exit strategy, and the loan type. Contact us for a personalised assessment.

Do I need to be a business owner to apply?

We provide business loans to ABN holders including business owners, sole traders, and investors. Whether you're self-employed, a director, or an investor, we have a loan solution tailored to your situation.

The Process

How long does the approval process take?

Our standard approval timeline is 24 hours from submission. Once approved, settlement is prioritised and significantly faster than traditional banks.

What documentation do I need to provide?

We keep it simple. You'll typically need identification, details about the security property, and a brief outline of your exit strategy. We don't require extensive financial statements or complex paperwork.

Can I apply online?

Yes! You can complete our online enquiry form on the homepage, or call us at 1300 660 698 to speak with a specialist directly.

Rates & Terms

What are your interest rates?

Interest rates vary based on loan type, amount, security, and risk profile. We'll provide a transparent, no-obligation quote within 24 hours tailored to your specific situation.

Are there any hidden fees?

No hidden fees. We're transparent about all costs upfront. You'll receive a detailed breakdown of all fees, interest rates, and terms before you commit.

Can I pay off my loan early?

Yes, most of our loans allow early repayment without penalty. We'll confirm the specific terms when you receive your funding offer.

Security & Safety

Is my personal information secure?

Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect your data. Your information is never shared with third parties without your consent.

What happens if I can't make a payment?
