Australian SMEs Trend Toward Alternative Lending

Over a decade ago the alternative lending market was born and is currently growing at a rapid pace. Australia has joined the growing worldwide trend towards alternative financiers.

4 Reasons to Choose an Alternative Lender

  • Simplicity
    Business loans provided by alternative lenders are typically unsecured, and usually involve an online application and minimal paperwork.
  • Speed
    Alternative lenders generally approve loan applications quickly, and funds may be deposited within a couple of days from application approval.
  • High approval rate
    Since 2006, traditional banks have decreased the provision of SME business loans by over 38%. This is according to a 2015 Wall Street Journal report. Alternative lenders will typically approve loans that traditional lenders are unable to approve.
  • Flexibility
    Alternative lenders typically offer flexible repayment terms based on how a small to medium business operates. For example, repayments can be made daily for better cash-flow management, and can even be adjusted according to business seasonality.
