What we need to know
Affordability
We need to know that your business can afford to take on the loan. This means you’ll need to provide us with some documents to help prove you can service the loan. These can include any of the following:
- your latest financial statements, including profit and loss
- relevant contracts for service
- bank statements and monthly cash flow records
- details of what insurance is held to protect income, key people and assets
- statement of assets and liabilities.
Beneficial ownership
In order to provide your business with a loan, we need to identify and verify who owns the business and the ownership structure. It’s crucial for us to know who the beneficial owner(s) are so we can comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Act.
You’re a beneficial owner if any of the following apply:
- If you own more than 25% of the business.
- If you have effective control over the business.
- If business transactions are conducted on your behalf.
If we’re unable to identify all the beneficial owners, we won’t be able to provide you with a loan.
How repayments work
We offer flexible terms so your repayments can fit your cash flow. And if you want to pay your loan off early, you can do that too.
