Who this is for

Import and export businesses owners who need capital for a specific purpose and want the structure that gets approved first time.

Established import and export businesses with 1+ years of trading
Sole trader, partnership, Pty Ltd or trust structure
Need unsecured $5k-$500k or secured $200k-$5m
Previously declined by your main bank
Have an active ATO payment plan (acceptable to specialist lenders)
Multi-entity owners (trading co + property co + income support)

The real challenge

Import/export cash flow is unique: payment on dispatch (or before), 60-120 days shipping, then another 30-60 days customer payment terms. That's 90-180 days of working capital tied up per order. Specialist trade finance lenders bridge this with letters of credit (LCs), trade loans and supply chain finance.

Big banks have retreated from mid-market trade finance; non-bank trade specialists and some private credit funds have expanded. We know who's still writing LC business under $5m.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a letter of credit facility as a mid-market importer?

Yes - several specialist trade finance lenders write LC facilities starting from $500k. Mainstream banks have largely withdrawn from under-$5m LC business, but non-bank trade specialists remain active.

How fast can I get approved?

Unsecured loans for import and export businesses typically approved in 48-72 hours with clean documents. Secured loans against property take 2-4 weeks.

Will my industry affect my loan options?

Yes - some mainstream lenders avoid certain import and export businesses verticals. That's where we add value: we know which non-bank or specialist lender actively wants your industry at good pricing.

Can I borrow with an active ATO payment plan?

Yes with the right lender. Several non-banks accept active ATO payment plans if the plan is being honoured. The main banks usually decline.

Will I need personal guarantees?

For most business loans under $2m, directors sign personal guarantees. Larger facilities with strong serviceability can sometimes negotiate limited or capped guarantees.

Do you charge a fee?

No broker fee to the borrower. The lender pays our commission at settlement.
