Prospa Business Loan

How does the Prospa Business Loan work?

This is a loan secured by a personal guarantee or by asset security that can be used to finance a number of business purposes. You can borrow up to $150,000 on a loan with no asset security, or up to $500,000 on a secured loan with property collateral. Terms are for between 3 months and 3 years.

You can select either daily or weekly repayment terms, depending on what works best for your business. The payments will be deducted automatically from a nominated business account and you can also repay your loan early without penalty.

The features that come with a Prospa Business Loan

Before applying, it's important to consider all the features to ensure it's the right loan for you:

• Easy application process. You can apply for the business loan online in about ten minutes and receive a response in as little as one hour. If you are approved before 4pm on a business day, you could receive your funds that same day.
• Range of loan amounts. The amounts available – $5,000 and $500,000 – make this loan suitable for a range of businesses and purposes. However, the maximum loan amount will vary depending on if you choose a secured or unsecured loan.
• Short loan terms. Prospa offer loans terms between 3 to 36 months. This means you can have the loan repaid without accumulating too much debt.
• Security. To be approved for a loan of over $150,000 you will be required to own a property. Loans of under $150,000 only require a personal guarantee.
• Flexible repayments. You can choose repayments to best suit your business' cash flow. Both daily and weekly repayments are available.
• Early repayment. You're able to repay your loan early without penalty.

How much will the loan cost?

The following fees and charges should be considered before you apply for your loan:

• Interest rate. Prospa uses risk-based pricing to determine your rate, which can range from 9.9% p.a. to 26.9% p.a. Your rate is determined by factors including your industry, years in business, cash flow and creditworthiness. The better your business cash flow, experience and credit rating, the lower the rate you're likely to receive.
• Upfront fee. 3.5% origination fee for loans below $150,000 and 3% origination fee for loans above $150,000.
• Establishment fee. This fee will be added onto the amount you owe at the beginning of the loan term.
• Late payment fees and default fees. These will only be charged if you fail to make repayments on time or do not repay your loan.
