Fit out loans

Finance for business fit outs and renovations

Fit out loans can help Australian businesses upgrade premises, prepare a new location, improve customer areas, install fixtures or complete practical renovations. They are often used by retail, hospitality, medical, beauty, professional and trade businesses.

Fit out costs can arrive before the new space is producing income. Finance may help spread those costs while preserving cash for wages, stock, marketing and opening expenses.

Lenders may request quotes, invoices, lease details, business bank statements, ABN information, project scope and evidence that repayments are affordable.

A fit out loan is business finance used to fund premises improvements, fixtures, renovations or setup costs for an Australian business location.

What can fit out finance cover?

Clear quotes and a realistic project budget can help lenders understand the purpose and timing of the finance.
