What Is a Working Capital Loan?
A working capital loan is a type of short-term financing designed to help business owners manage daily operations. It can cover expenses such as labour costs, accounts payable, marketing fees, rent, and payroll.

Current Assets – Current Liabilities = Working Capital
Working capital loans are not intended for purchasing assets or funding long-term business growth.
Eligibility Criteria
- Business ownership or an active ABN

- Inventory Purchases: Use working capital finance to restock essential inventory or handle urgent supply needs.
