Why non-bank lenders are faster

Banks require full financial documentation - tax returns, BAS, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and often property valuations. Gathering and assessing this takes weeks. Non-bank lenders use technology to assess your business from bank statements in minutes. The decision is based on your actual cash flow, not historical paperwork.

How we make it fast

  1. We know which lender is fastest for your profile. Different lenders are faster for different business types. We've submitted hundreds of applications and know the patterns.
  2. We submit to one lender only. No shopping around, no multiple applications. One submission to the right lender.
  3. We prepare the application properly. Incomplete applications cause delays. We make sure everything is right before it goes in.
  4. We chase it. We have direct relationships with credit teams at every lender on our panel. We follow up in real time.

What slows things down

Pro tip: apply before 11am with your bank statements ready. We can usually have a decision by lunch and funds by close of business.
