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.
