How does Zip Business Loan work?
The Zip Business Loan product is a hybrid of a line of credit and an unsecured business loan. If approved, you are given access to a credit limit that is accessible for between 1 and 60 months, with the ongoing possibility to renew. You can draw down funds from this line of credit as and when is suitable for you, with each sum you draw down becoming a separate business loan that is repayable in weekly, fortnightly or monthly principal and interest instalments. Each loan has a term of between 6 months and 60 months. Interest is only charged on the amounts you draw down, not on the total value of the credit line.
To apply for a business line of credit, you can fill out a fully online application form in just a few minutes. Simply provide Zip with some basic information about your business, such as your company type, purpose of the business loan, revenue and how much you wish to borrow. All other necessary financial information is gathered when you connect your accounting software and online bank account to Zip's systems. Alternatively, you can upload financial reports. Zip then evaluates your data with its unique credit assessment algorithm, which advises how much you are able to borrow.
With Zip Business Loan you are able to borrow between $10,000 and $500,000. To qualify your business must have at least 18 months' trading history and an annual turnover of more than $200,000.
