How it works

From cash flow gap to facility in place

01

Free consultation

A short call to understand your cash flow cycle — where the gaps sit, how long they last, and whether an overdraft, invoice finance or a term facility fits the pattern. No credit check at this stage.

02

Minimal documents

Typically business bank statements, financials and ID. Some lenders assess on bank statements alone — we tell you exactly what applies to your situation before you gather anything.

03

Lender matching

One application, mapped against a 50+ lender panel — banks, non-banks and specialist funders. We shortlist on rate, limit, security requirements and how the facility behaves day to day.

04

Approval & terms

You receive formal terms — limit, rate, fees, conditions — and we walk you through every line before you sign. No surprises buried in the facility agreement.

05

Facility live

Once settled, the facility is there when you need it. As the business grows, we review limits and structure — one partner across working capital, equipment and expansion finance.

"The right facility matches the shape of your cash flow — that's decided before the application, not after." — Pooja

Do you qualify?

What lenders typically look for

Most established Australian SMEs are eligible for some form of working capital facility. These are the common benchmarks — and there are often solutions even if you don't tick every box.

  • Trading for 12+ months — some lenders consider from 3 months
  • Annual turnover from around $100,000
  • Australian business entity — Pty Ltd, sole trader, partnership or trust
  • Director/owner is an Australian citizen or permanent resident
  • 6+ months of business bank statements available
  • GST registered
  • No active bankruptcy or administration — adverse credit is considered case by case

Why Probiz for working capital

She's assessed these applications from the lender's chair

Before founding Probiz, Pooja spent years inside NAB and ANZ. Working capital applications stall on the same things every time — facility type mismatched to the cash flow cycle, serviceability presented poorly, the wrong lender for the industry. She's assessed them from the credit side, which is the difference between hoping for approval and engineering one.

Working capital finance — common questions

An overdraft is a revolving facility — you draw and repay as needed, paying interest only on the outstanding balance. A working capital loan is a fixed lump sum repaid over a set term. Overdrafts suit ongoing fluctuations; loans suit a specific one-off cash flow need. Many businesses end up with a mix of both.

It depends on the lender and facility type. Non-bank and fintech lenders generally move faster than the major banks, which in turn may offer sharper pricing on larger, secured facilities. We map both paths and tell you the realistic timeline for your situation before you apply.

Not necessarily. Unsecured facilities are widely available, particularly at lower limits. Larger facilities typically require a director's guarantee, and the largest may add property security. We identify the strongest unsecured options first before recommending anything secured.

An initial enquiry with us does not involve a credit check — we do a soft assessment of your position first. A formal credit check only happens when you choose a product and formally apply to that lender.

Typically 6 months of business bank statements, the last two years of financials or BAS, proof of ABN/ACN and director ID. Some lenders assess on bank statements alone — we confirm exactly what your shortlisted lenders need so you only gather documents once.

Often, yes. Several lenders on our panel specialise in adverse credit — defaults, late payments and discharged bankruptcy are assessed case by case. Trading history and business cash flow frequently carry more weight than the credit file itself.

The initial assessment is free with no obligation. In most cases we're paid by the lender on settlement; if a fee ever applies to your specific structure, it's disclosed in writing before you proceed.
