Backing Brisbane’s small businesses

With a total population of almost 5 million in Greater Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, and with a combined total of over 300,000 businesses, Queensland cities have become a fast-growing metropolitan hub for small businesses[i]

One in 5 Australians live in Queensland. The state population is growing faster than the national average, and Brisbane is also quickly growing to become a key business hub for Australia.

The Greater Brisbane area is home to more than half (53%) of all Queensland businesses. More than 97% of businesses statewide are considered small businesses, meaning they have less than 20 employees. These small businesses employ almost half (44%) of all private sector workers.

The top business industries in Queensland include construction; professional, scientific and technical services; rental, hiring and real estate services; and agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Improve your business finance with an OnDeck loan

Funds you need, when you need them

OnDeck lightning loans can be funded in as fast as 2 hours, while a more complex small business loan can be approved and funded in only 1 business day. The entire loan application process can be completed in as fast as 10 minutes. Apply today to get your loan quickly.

No collateral with an unsecured business loan

Brisbane business loans can either be secured or unsecured. A secured business loan is a loan that is guaranteed by an asset. On the other hand, unsecured business loans allow you to borrow money for your business without the need for collateral. OnDeck loans are always unsecured, so there is no loan security required.

Improve business cash flow

For a small business, managing a healthy cash flow (the movement of money in and out of the business) is critical for success. Poor cash flow can lead to interruptions in your activity and mean any small problem, like an unexpected bill or event, can loom larger than it needs to be.

Has your small business ever experienced a cash flow crisis?

What are secured and unsecured loans?

Secured business loans are guaranteed by an asset, such as a property or a car. On the other hand, an unsecured business loan does not require any security, hence, the interest rate on unsecured loans can be higher than that of a secured loan, but they don’t put the assets of small businesses at risk. It’s important to choose the right business loan for your financial situation.
