How does the BOQ Cash Flow Finance Loan work?
If your business is experiencing cash flow problems or limited fixed assets, you can use outstanding customer invoices as collateral for debtor finance. Once BOQ has run a credit check to verify your business's financial status, it can lend up to 80% of the total value of the outstanding invoices (with the remaining 20% funded once your customers have paid).
This way you can carry on running your business and filling orders without waiting the standard 30 to 90 days for customers to pay their invoices.
Features of BOQ Cash Flow Finance Loan
Business owners interested in this loan type can benefit from the following features:
- Variable funding level. Debtor finance is linked to your account receivables, meaning that the amount for which you're eligible grows with your business's profits and production capacity.
- Quick turnaround. While an invoice is paid within 30 to 90 days, this loan type provides cash within one business day. BOQ will lend up to 80% of the total invoice value and then pay the remaining 20% once your customers' invoices are paid.
- Increased savings and profits. By borrowing against outstanding invoices, you avoid having to dig into business savings and profits to plug financial holes.
- Loan purpose. This loan can be used for any business-related purpose. Business owners usually apply for this loan type to expand operations by purchasing more stock, filling orders or bringing on additional staff.
- Interest. You repay this loan with a variable interest rate. The base rate for debtor finance is 8.89% p.a.
- No property required. You don't have to use your residential or commercial property assets to secure this loan.
