Business line of credit

What is a business line of credit?

A business line of credit is a flexible finance facility that may allow an Australian business to access funds up to an approved limit. It can be useful for cash flow timing, supplier payments, stock purchases or short-term working capital.

Unlike a standard term loan, a line of credit may allow funds to be drawn and repaid as needed, depending on the lender and facility terms. Fees, limits and repayment rules vary.

Lenders assess the business profile, cash flow, turnover, credit history, existing debts and the reason the facility is needed. Approval is not guaranteed.

A business line of credit gives eligible Australian businesses access to an approved credit limit for working capital or cash flow needs, subject to lender terms.

How it works

Compare the details before you apply

Use these points to understand the loan purpose, likely documents, lender criteria and repayment fit before moving ahead.

Flexible access

Use funds when needed within approved lender limits and terms.

Cash flow timing

Support seasonal gaps, supplier timing or project expenses.

Responsible use

Best suited to businesses with a clear repayment strategy.

When a line of credit may suit

A line of credit may suit businesses with uneven cash flow, seasonal sales, project-based income or timing gaps between paying suppliers and receiving customer payments.

It can also help with repeat short-term needs where applying for a new loan each time would be inefficient.

The facility should be managed carefully. A line of credit is not a substitute for sustainable cash flow and should have a clear repayment approach.

Line of credit vs working capital loan

A working capital loan usually provides a set amount with scheduled repayments. A line of credit may provide more flexible access to funds within an approved limit.

The best option depends on whether the business needs one-off funding or ongoing access to backup capital.
