Why speed matters here

Every hire has a ramp-up period when you're paying before you're earning. Businesses that wait until cash has built up often lose the contract or the candidate. A short-term loan smooths that ramp.

How we can fund it

Own property

Property-secured

Bigger expansions, such as a new crew, a new site or a new division, can be funded against property with flexible repayments.

Up to $5M · as little as 24 hrs · no financials

No property

Cash-flow loan

A cash-flow loan sized to your turnover covers the first few months of a new hire's wages, tools and onboarding.

From bank statements · as little as 2 hrs

Example scenario

A cleaning company taking on a hospital contract

A Newcastle commercial cleaning business won a hospital contract that needed eight extra staff from day one. A $95,000 cash-flow loan covered the first six weeks of wages and equipment until the monthly contract payments began.
