Backing South Australia’s small businesses

With a population of over 1.3 million people and a median age of 38.8, Greater Adelaide is comprised of a large working society.[i]

Adelaide thrives off small businesses (and good wine). Out of the 115,000 registered businesses reported by ABS in 2019, less than three percent are medium or large businesses. Nearly 98% of businesses in Greater Adelaide are considered small businesses as they employ less than 20 employees.  Almost 7 in 10 of all businesses registered in the area are entrepreneurs, or sole traders that do not employ other workers.

The largest industries in South Australia include construction; rental, hiring and real estate services; and financial and insurance services. The state as a whole has similar industries; however, agriculture, forestry and fishing are third overall with financial and insurance coming in fourth.

No collateral with an unsecured business loan

Adelaide 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?
