Choosing a Lender

Most businesses in Australia identify as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), accounting for nearly 98% of total businesses in the economy. Economic conditions for SMEs have been relatively strong since the second half of 2021, and demand for business finance is high. However, small businesses continue to report that accessing funding through banks is a challenge and given that about 80% of these SMEs apply for loans at some point or another during their business cycle, it’s important for there to be an empathetic lender in the market who understands the peaks and troughs of business.

Bizcap has been funding SMEs since 2019 and to-date, has helped more than 21,000 of them access the funds they need to take their business to the next level. The Australian SME lending space is quite developed and there are a range of lenders & aggregators in the market, including Prospa, Lumi, Capify, Max Funding, Moula, On Deck, Banjo, Business Fuel, Tru Cap, Shift Finance, Valiant Finance, Get Capital, Rapital, BiiGGA, Scotpac, Skyecap, Square Loans, Velociti Finance, Fundspot, Propell, Dynamoney, Pepper Finance and others, each offering loans with different characteristics and benefits.
