What is Working Capital Finance?

Working Capital Loans allow you to maintain business operations by providing cash to pay for day-to-day expenses in the face of liquidity challenges. It is a form of short-term lending that is designed to help you cover business expenses such as payroll, accounts payable, rent etc. A common example might be a business that experiences seasonal revenue, and requires assistance getting through the quieter months until they hit peak season again.

This lending form is ideally suited to short-term needs rather than long-term lending.

Eligibility for Cash Flow Finance

To be eligible for Cash Flow Finance you generally need to:

  • Have an active ABN
  • Have been trading for more than 6 months
  • Have an average monthly income over $5k +

Other criteria may apply depending on your current situation and needs. Book a meeting with our expert team to talk through your requirements and timeframes, and we can work out the best way for you to move forward.

  • Applying with multiple lenders directly
  • Allowing multiple credit checks in a short period of time
  • Not being honest or omitting important information
  • Asking for more than is serviceable
  • Being unprepared – no cash flow or financials

Making these mistakes could mean you aren’t able to get a Working Capital Loan at all, or only one with poor rates and terms. This is why it’s so beneficial to work with us. We partner with you and help you avoid these mistakes so you get the best outcomes possible.
