How fast will I get the money?

Under normal circumstances, if you apply before 4pm on a business day and your application is approved, it is possible to have money in your account the next business day.

How much can I borrow?

The total amount of your loan will depend on the specific circumstances of your business. We consider a variety of factors to determine the health of your business and based on this information, Prospa may be able to provide you with funding. The Prospa Small Business Loan offers amounts up to $150,000 but you can apply for any of our products which offer funding up to $500,000.

Do I need security to access the funds?

Prospa considers the health of a business to determine creditworthiness. For Small Business Loans or Business Lines of Credit, no asset security is required upfront to access up to $150,000.

If you continue to meet your obligations under the facility, such as payment obligations (as detailed in your contract), security will never be required. For facilities over $150,000, or where your combined exposure to our products exceeds $150,000, Prospa takes security in the form of a charge over your assets.

A Prospa Small Business Loan can be used for almost any business purpose – including for growth, to take advantage of an opportunity or to support business cash flow. For example, it could be used for business renovations, marketing, to purchase inventory or new equipment, as general working capital and much more.

What are the fees?

There are no hidden fees for our Small Business loans, and you’ll know exactly how much and when you need to pay from day one. There’s no compounding interest and no additional fees (as long as you make your repayments on time).

Please note, not all amounts, term lengths or rates will be available to all applicants. Interest rates vary due to factors including the amount borrowed, the industry the business operates in, how long the business has been running, whether the business has sufficient cash flow to support the loan, and the overall ‘health’ or creditworthiness of the business.

What is your early repayment policy?

You can choose to repay the entire amount of your loan early at any time.

If you decide to do this please speak to our friendly business loan specialists on 1300 882 867. They will provide you with repayment details and an early payout figure. This will be calculated as the total of the remaining principal amount and any accrued interest at the date of early payout, plus 1.5% of the remaining principal and any outstanding fees.

How is the Prospa Small Business Loan different from a traditional business loan?

You can apply for the Prospa Small Business Loan in as little as 10 minutes online or over the phone. Depending on the time of day you apply, approvals can be achieved “same-day” with funds in your account within 24 hours. The Prospa Small Business Loan details the total amount payable upfront including any interest, fees or charges. This is then broken down into either a daily or weekly repayment figure.

Sure thing. Call our friendly team on 1300 882 867.

Our operating hours are Monday – Friday: 8:30am – 7pm (AEST)

Yes, Prospa does accept ad hoc voluntary payments outside of your contractual direct debits, however these amounts will not reduce the total payback amount or interest payable. To receive a discount on this, the loan needs to be repaid in full.

If the intention is to make extra contributions on top of your balance and then pay out early in full in a lump sum, Prospa will then honour the monthly exit point payout figure at the equivalent point in time.
