Unsecured Loans vs Secured Loans

The approval process for a business loan can be surprisingly quick. In as little as three hours, you could receive approval for a business loan. Once we have your application, bank statements, and any other supporting information needed for the business loan evaluation, our team will assess your file within a couple of hours. If everything is in order, we’ll make you an offer for an unsecured business loan.

After you’ve agreed to the business loan offer, the funds will be transferred into your account promptly. Business loans are an excellent financing option for businesses that require funds quickly and without the need for collateral. This fast approval process is one of the main advantages of a Bizcap business loan.

If you need the funds from a business loan even more urgently, just let your Account Manager know, and they’ll fast-track your application. This expedited process will help ensure that your unsecured business loan is approved and disbursed as quickly as possible, allowing you to address any immediate financial needs your business may have. In summary, unsecured business loans can be approved and funded within a matter of hours, providing businesses with a quick and efficient financing solution.

We provide business loans from $5,000 to $2,000,000 and our loan terms vary from 3 to 12 months, with payment terms that are either daily or weekly. The total amount of your loan will depend on the specific circumstances of your business – we consider a variety of factors to determine the health of your business, and lend accordingly.

We leverage our proprietary technology system and extensive underwriting experience to provide ‘out of the box’ solutions to our customers. This allows us to lend to customers that come from all walks of life and across a multitude of different industries. Once you complete your application (customer details and bank statements), we assess your file. From there, we provide you with an offer. If you’re happy with the loan offer, we can provide you the funds within 3 hours. Please note, you must be in business for at least 5 months, you must have an active ABN and your turnover must be over $12,000 a month (this requirement may be higher for certain industries).

Each applicant’s cash flow, payment history, and financial strength is considered to determine a risk-adjusted repayment plan specific to that applicant. Payments are determined by factors such as: the amount and consistency of the business’s cash flow; the number of years the business has been in operation; the assets owned by the business; and the proposed use of funds. We charge a fixed fee on the loan which is agreed upon upfront. We do not penalise you for wanting to pay out your loan early either.

Being a cashflow lender our main consideration is your business’ cashflow. However, there are a range of different factors that could impact your business loan approval. These factors include: age of the business (as well as the revenue history); assets and credit history of the business for example. All these factors help us build a comprehensive profile of the applicant that allow Bizcap to determine a businesses ability to repay their business loan.

Loans are repaid through automatic deductions from the business’ bank account. Loans can be repaid either daily or weekly (excluding weekends and holidays).

Although the business’ asset-profile and cash-flow are our primary concern, we do review the business’ and owner’s credit reports to identify current judgments, open bankruptcies, tax liens and other factors.

Business loan funding can be used for a variety of purposes to support and grow your business. Here are some common ways in which business owners use loan funds:

• Working capital: You can use the loan to cover day-to-day operational expenses such as inventory purchases, payroll, rent, utilities, and marketing costs.
• Equipment and machinery: If your business requires specialized equipment or machinery to operate or expand, you can use the loan to purchase or lease them.
• Expansion and renovation: If you’re planning to expand your business or renovate your existing premises, a business loan can provide the necessary funds for construction, remodeling, or leasing additional space.
• Inventory and supplies: You can use the loan to purchase inventory and supplies in bulk, take advantage of discounts, or meet increased demand.
• Marketing and advertising: Loans can be utilized to fund marketing campaigns, advertising efforts, and promotional activities to increase brand awareness and attract new customers.
• Technology and software: Investing in technology infrastructure, software systems, or upgrading your existing IT setup can be facilitated by a business loan.
• Staffing and training: If you’re experiencing growth and need to hire additional employees or provide training for your existing staff, loan funds can support these expenses.
• Debt consolidation: If your business has multiple high-interest debts, you can use a business loan to consolidate them into a single, more manageable loan with a potentially lower interest rate.
• Acquiring another business: If you’re looking to acquire another business or buy out a competitor, a business loan can provide the necessary capital for the purchase.
• Research and development: For businesses involved in research, innovation, or product development, loan funds can be used to finance these activities and bring new products or services to market.

It’s important to note that the specific uses of a business loan may vary depending on the lender and the terms of the loan. It’s recommended to consult with your lender and financial advisors to determine the best use of funds for your business.

Yes, you can definitely repay your business loan early. In fact, we encourage early repayment of business loans if it suits your financial situation. Unlike some lenders, we do not penalize borrowers for early repayment of business loans. This means there are no early repayment fees or other charges associated with paying off your business loan ahead of schedule.

Business loans are designed to be flexible and accommodating to the unique needs of businesses. If you know that you only require the capital for a short period – for example, to purchase stock that you’ll sell in two or three weeks – it’s a good idea to let your Loan Specialist know. In such cases, we can arrange an early payment discount for you, making the early repayment of your unsecured business loan even more advantageous.

By repaying your business loan early, you can potentially save on interest costs and improve your business’s financial standing. The flexibility and convenience offered by Bizcap business loans, including the option for early repayment without penalties, make them an attractive financing solution for businesses with varying financial needs and goals.
