Frequently Asked Questions
Range of Purposes
Working capital, business acquisition, plant & equipment leasing, business start-up loans, franchise funding, loan refinancing and commercial property.
Simply complete our short online loan enquiry form and we can refer your details to a licensed participating finance broker from our national broker panel, who can discuss options based on your specific needs and circumstances.
When you submit an online loan enquiry, our broker-matching platform uses your information (such as loan amount, purpose and location) to refer your enquiry to one appropriately licensed finance professional from our national panel, subject to referral eligibility and availability.
Submitting your initial finance enquiry with us as part of our referral eligibility pre-assessment does not, by itself, trigger a credit check by us or create an entry on your credit file. Referral eligibility means meeting the criteria of at least one participating broker/lender; it is not loan approval, and a referral may not be available. If you choose to proceed with a referred broker or lender after this initial step, they may conduct a credit check in line with their own assessment processes, and multiple credit enquiries can make it more difficult to obtain a loan and may limit your options.
