What are the fees and repayments?

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.

How does the 4 weeks no repayment option work?

When you are approved for a Small Business Loan, you can choose to delay your first repayment for between 1 and 4 weeks if you wish. Some businesses find this provides added flexibility. If you do choose to delay your repayments, the loan term will be extended. For example, if you choose the 4 week option, your term will be extended by 4 weeks at the end.

In addition, interest will accrue from the day you settle until the end of the loan term. The interest that accrues during the no repayment period is capitalised and included in the total interest expense. This then forms part of the regular fixed daily or weekly principal and interest repayments that are due once the no repayment period ends.

If you have any questions, please speak to one of our friendly loan specialists.

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 462 531. 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.

A different calculation applies for businesses who entered into a loan contract before 1 October 2020. If this is you, the level of discount applied to your early repayment amount will depend on how far you are into the loan term and, provided you are not in default, will be at least 25% of the remaining interest payable on your loan. Please call us on 1300 462 531 to find out more.
