      Hi Chloe,

      You’ve come through to finder.com.au, a financial comparison service and not Rapid Finance. Rapid Finance consider applicants in a variety of situations so you may be eligible for a loan with them, you can head over to their website and fill out a form to speak to an advisor if you are interested.

      Hope this has helped.

      Thanks,

      Hi Faith,

      Part of Rapid Finance’s minimum criteria is that you have a current regular income, which may make you ineligible, and they also don’t offer startup business financing. You can compare available business loans that would best suit your business loan needs.

      Please ensure to read through the relevant product disclosure statement and terms and conditions to ensure that you got everything covered before you apply for the loan.

      I hope this will help,
