An unsecured loan is when the health of a business is used to determine creditworthiness, without the business owner needing to secure the loan by putting up an asset as security.

Larger banks tend not to offer these as the arduous paperwork, low returns and higher risks involved don’t make it worthwhile.

Many small business owners find themselves having to use an asset to secure a loan, or being declined.

The amount you can borrow is subject to your cashflow as well as the length of time you have been in business. We will happily lend you a percentage of your monthly cashflow in order to extend your business operations.

We’ve made it easy and fast. Simply click the apply button and complete our online form. All you need to have ready is your driver’s licence number and your business ABN.

You can choose to allow us to use an advanced bank verification system link to instantly verify your bank information online, in which case – have your main trading bank account details handy.

We offer an unsecured loan of $5,000 to $250,000.

The term of the loan is between three and twelve months.

The cash-flow friendly repayments are either daily, weekly or fortnightly.

We know growing your business is important, so Cube Business Loans will work hard to get money to you as soon as possible.

If you apply before 4pm on a business day (AEST) and your application is approved, we can usually have money in your account the same or next business day.

The total amount of your loan will depend on the specific circumstances of your business.

The platform looks at a variety of factors to determine the health of your business and based on this information, Cube Business Loans may be able to provide you a loan amount up to $250,000.

Cube Business Loans don’t charge interest because terms are usually less than 12 months.

Instead we offer a factor rate. A factor rate is expressed as a decimal figure not a percent.

It varies based on your industry, how long you have been in business, the health of your cash flow and other factors.

When a factor rate is used, interest is charged to the principal when the loan is originated, it doesn’t compound.

We know fees can be confusing so we made it simple and transparent – there are no hidden fees and the amount due from day one includes the establishment fee.

There are no additional fees (excluding any late payment or default fees) and no penalties for early repayment.

We’re totally committed to helping small businesses access the funds they need to grow.

Our fast flexible funding can be used for business renovations, marketing, to purchase inventory, new equipment, general working capital and much more.

There are no fees for early repayment and no balloon payment at the end of your loan.

We are totally transparent with our customers about the total amount due and the date of the final payment.

Once you make the final payment your balance will be $0.

It’s important to offer you easy ways to pay back your loan.

To help you avoid missing repayments we offer daily, weekly or fortnightly repayments that are automatically deducted from your nominated business account.

Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset they own to secure a loan.

The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.

The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset.

If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender.

In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
