Hi thejoker.

Welcome to the forums.

Bad credit business loan are actually available and these are mainly targeted towards businesses that have had defaults.

Lenders are generally quite strict when it comes to business loans, especially if bad credit is involved. This includes a requirement of having a security property even if you're only borrowing for your business and not necessarily to buy property.

A bad credit business loan is actually all about your security property and it determines the amount you can borrow.

So if you have a residential property as security, you may be able to borrow up to 80% of the property value. If you have a commercial property as security then you may be able to borrow up to 60% of its value.

Please note that you're typically limited to borrowing up to a maximum of $10 million on your loan depending on the strength of your business, loan application as well as loan proposal.

Cheers,
Otto

Hi thejoker,

You'll generally be required to meet certain requirements such as:
  • You must have a stable and regular cash flow that you can prove using cash flow projections, BAS statements or tax returns.
  • Your business must have been running for two to three years although there are few lenders that may accept a business that's been running for only one year.
  • You don't have too many bad credit records or any major defaults.
  • Your business hasn't gone through any restructuring recently.
  • You are an Australian resident and the security property is in Australia.
You're more likely to qualify if you have substantial equity in property. A great business loan proposal can also help you significantly.

Hi panda,

Each business loan application is unique because of the situation and strength of the business. This is a major reason why most lenders don't advertise their lowest interest rates. In some cases, they may not even show show them at all.

You can check out the business loan interest rates on offer on different loan products on our website but they too can be different for your particular situation.

Business loan interest rates are also not usually consistent with all lenders due to the difference in the way each lender perceives your risk as a borrower.

If you're looking to take out a business loan, you can call us and speak with one of our business loan specialists directly to find out what rate you can qualify for.

Cheers,
Otto
