Plain-English explanation

What is working capital / overdraft finance?

Working capital finance covers the gap between when your business pays its bills and when its customers pay you. It's not for buying an asset — it's finance that keeps day-to-day operations moving. An overdraft or revolving facility gives you a limit to draw on as needed; other structures provide a lump sum or advance funds against invoices. Here's how it typically works:

01

You establish the facility

Depending on your situation, that might mean an overdraft against your business transaction account, a revolving line of credit, or a facility secured against invoices or other assets.

02

You draw on it as needed

With a revolving facility, you draw funds when you need them and repay as cash comes in, rather than receiving one lump sum. Interest is often charged only on the amount actually drawn, not the full limit.

03

The facility renews or is reviewed

Ongoing facilities are typically reviewed periodically by the lender rather than repaid off over a fixed term like a standard loan — as long as the business keeps meeting the lender's criteria, the facility continues.

Secured or unsecured — the right choice depends on your situation.

Working capital facilities can be secured against property or other business assets, secured against unpaid invoices, or in some cases unsecured altogether. Each comes with different limits and requirements. Which one makes sense depends on what security you have available and how quickly you need the facility in place — exactly where knowing the lender panel changes the outcome.

Overdraft = draw funds up to a set limit as needed Revolving facility = repay and redraw as cash allows Drawdown = the amount currently in use Invoice finance = advance against unpaid invoices Unsecured = no specific asset used as security
How it works

Your working capital journey, step by step

01

Understand the gap

Before recommending anything, we look at what's actually driving the cash flow pressure — seasonality, a growth opportunity, slow-paying customers — so the facility fits the real problem, not just a number.

02

Match the facility type

Overdraft, revolving line of credit, invoice finance, or an unsecured facility — different lenders specialise in different structures. We map your situation across a 50+ panel to find the best fit.

03

Structure the facility

Limit size, security (if any), and how drawdowns and repayments work day-to-day. Getting this structure right up front is what makes a facility genuinely useful rather than just extra debt.

04

Application to approval

One clean application to the best-fit lender. We manage documentation, conditions and lender communication through to the facility being ready to use.

05

Draw and grow

Use the facility as your cash flow needs it. If your business grows into needing asset finance, acquisition funding or property finance down the track, we handle that too — one partner across the whole journey.

"The businesses that get working capital wrong usually take on the wrong structure, not the wrong amount. Getting the facility type right matters more than people expect." — Pooja Choudhary

Facility types

Secured vs. unsecured working capital

Lenders assess working capital facilities partly on whether security is offered. Broadly, that puts options in two buckets — and which one fits shapes your limit, your rate, and which lenders will consider the application.

Secured facilities

Often larger limits

Backed by property, other business assets, or unpaid invoices — typically supports a larger facility and more competitive pricing.

  • Overdraft secured against property or assets
  • Invoice finance secured against receivables
  • Equipment or asset-backed lines of credit
Unsecured facilities

Faster to arrange, generally smaller

Assessed purely on cash flow and trading history rather than a specific asset — useful when you don't have security to offer or need something in place quickly.

  • Unsecured business overdrafts
  • Unsecured short-term business loans
  • Revolving credit lines assessed on turnover

Why Probiz for working capital

She knows what a lender is really looking at when cash flow is tight

Before founding Probiz, Pooja Choudhary spent years inside NAB and ANZ. Working capital applications turn on how cash flow is presented and which facility structure actually fits the business — and she's assessed those from the lender's chair. Having someone who knows what different lenders will actually approve is the difference between the first offer and the right one.

Working capital & overdraft finance — common questions

A business loan gives you a lump sum you repay over a fixed term. An overdraft or revolving facility gives you a limit you draw on and repay as cash flow allows, with interest typically charged only on what's actually drawn. Working capital facilities are generally built for ongoing flexibility rather than a one-off purchase.

Not always. Facilities can be secured against property, other business assets or unpaid invoices, or in some cases arranged unsecured based on your trading history and cash flow. Secured facilities can generally support a larger limit; unsecured options are often faster to arrange.

It depends on your facility type, trading history, cash flow and whether security is offered. Secured facilities and invoice finance can scale with your assets or receivables; unsecured options are typically assessed against turnover and cash flow trends. We compare your situation across a 50+ lender panel to find the best fit.

It's more difficult but not impossible — it depends heavily on the lender and the facility type. Invoice finance, for example, can sometimes work for newer businesses since it's assessed against the invoices themselves rather than years of financials. We'll be upfront if your situation needs a different structure or more trading history first.

Invoice finance advances funds against specific unpaid invoices or purchase orders, so the facility size grows and shrinks with your receivables. An overdraft or line of credit is a standing limit not tied to specific invoices. Businesses with long payment terms from customers often find invoice finance a more natural fit.

It can factor into how other lenders assess your overall debt position, so it's worth considering alongside any other finance you're planning — existing or future. We'll talk through how a new facility sits alongside what you already have.

In most cases we're paid a commission by the lender when the facility settles, not by you. If a fee ever applies to your situation, it's disclosed in writing before you commit to anything — no surprises.
