A well-rounded range of business finance options

One of the first considerations when looking for a business loan is, of course, how much you need to borrow.

If you’re looking for a business loan in excess of $1 million - than you will need to look at BankSA’s commercial business lending options.

If you’re looking to finance equipment then BankSA will offer you vehicle and equipment finance that offers tax benefits and flexible loan terms of up to 7 years.

Other options include a business credit card, business line of credit or a business overdraft – all of which are highly effective ways to manage cash flow and fund business growth.

Apply in-branch or by calling BankSA

Since BankSA, as with all divisions of Westpac, have a very wide range of business finance products it is best to discuss your individual needs with a consultant or advisor in person or over the phone.

You cannot apply for a loan online but, you may use their website to fill in a contact request form, after which someone will be in contact with you to discuss your needs.

I can’t pay my business loan on time

Should you encounter problems that may lead to you paying your business loan on time, please inform them. Although you'll be liable for extra charges, at least you would have notified them on time. 

Frequent late payments will give you a bad credit profile. BankSA normally ask customers to not apply for a business loan if they aren’t too certain they'll be able to meet the payment schedules.

What is the best payment method for a loan?

When you pay your business loan using the debit order system, it makes things better for all parties involved. This way, you won’t have to remember to ensure that payment was done because the debit order will be automated.

It's your responsibility to ensure that you have sufficient funds in your bank account on the day of the debit order payment.
