Small business loans from $5k to $500k across unsecured and secured options. The lender who's right for a $100k loan is often wrong for a $5m one - and vice versa. We match the lender panel to the loan size.

The real challenge

Loan size matters more than most borrowers realise. Loans under $500k are often best suited to specialist SME lenders and fintechs, not big banks. These lenders underwrite from BAS and bank statements with 48-72 hour decisions.

Deposit is usually not required for unsecured loans in this range - credit decision based on trading history, cash flow and personal credit.

Frequently asked questions

What's the smallest / largest I can borrow in this range?

The range in the title. If your actual need falls outside, we have other pages for each range - see Related guides below.

Do larger loans get better rates?

Generally yes - larger facilities attract tighter margins because fixed costs amortise over a bigger amount. But larger loans also have tighter policy - more documentation, slower approval, higher scrutiny of trading history.

How fast can approval come through?

Depends on size and security. Unsecured under $500k: 48-72 hours. Secured $500k-$2m: 2-4 weeks. Larger secured: 4-8 weeks.

Will I need personal guarantees?

Standard for business loans at all sizes. Larger facilities with strong serviceability can sometimes negotiate limited or capped guarantees.

What documents will I need?

Scales with size. Under $150k often credit-score only. Over $500k typically BAS + bank statements. Over $1m typically full financials + 2 years tax returns.

Do you charge a broker fee?

No. Lender pays our commission at settlement.
