FAQ

Tradie Business Loan FAQs

What business loans are available for tradies in Australia?
Tradies can access not asset backed business loans from $5,000 to $350,000 with Velociti Capital. Loan options include equipment finance for tools and vehicles, working capital for materials and labor costs, growth funding for hiring staff or expanding services, and emergency funding for urgent repairs or cash flow gaps. No property security required. Approvals based on job book strength, revenue consistency, and trading history rather than credit scores.
How quickly can tradies get business loan approval?
Tradies can get business loan approval in 2-5 hours with Velociti Capital, significantly faster than traditional banks which take 2-4 weeks. The application process is 100% online and takes just 2 minutes. Funds are deposited within hours of approval. This speed is critical for tradies who need to purchase materials, repair equipment, or take on new jobs quickly without delays.
Do tradies need collateral for business loans?
No, tradies do not need property collateral for business loans up to $350,000 with Velociti Capital. We offer not asset backed business financing based on your trade business performance, job book strength, and cash flow. Home or property security is never required. This makes funding accessible for tradies without property assets.
What are the eligibility requirements for tradie business loans?
Tradie business loan requirements include: 6+ months trading history (3 months considered for established tradies), minimum $5,000 monthly revenue from trade work, valid ABN or ACN registration, 6 months of business bank statements showing job payments, and Australian trade business operation. Both sole traders and companies qualify. Credit score is secondary - we focus on job book strength, repeat clients, invoice patterns, and cash flow consistency from trade work.
Can tradies with bad credit get business loans?
Yes, tradies with bad credit can get business loans from Velociti Capital. We focus on your trade business performance rather than personal credit scores. Many tradies with credit scores below 650, past defaults, or even bankruptcies have been approved based on strong job books, consistent revenue from trade work, and solid cash flow. What matters most is your current business performance, reliable clients, and ability to repay from ongoing trade income.
What can tradies use business loans for?
Tradies can use business loans for: purchasing new tools and equipment ($5K-$75K), buying work vehicles or utes ($20K-$150K), covering materials for large jobs before payment, managing cash flow between invoices, hiring additional staff or apprentices, expanding service offerings, upgrading technology or software, emergency equipment repairs, marketing and advertising, licensing and insurance costs, and workshop or storage facility expenses. Funds are flexible for legitimate business purposes.
How much can tradies borrow for their business?
Tradies can borrow $5,000 to $350,000 depending on monthly trade revenue and business needs. Typical approval amounts are 2-3 times average monthly revenue. For example: $10K/month revenue = $20K-$30K loan, $30K/month revenue = $60K-$90K loan, $100K/month revenue = $200K-$300K loan. Most tradie equipment and vehicle purchases fall in the $25K-$100K range which are quickly approved.
What is the repayment structure for tradie business loans?
Tradie business loans offer flexible repayment terms from 3-12 months with weekly or fortnightly installments aligned to your job payment cycles. Competitive fixed monthly rates are based on business performance and loan amount. Payments are automatically deducted from your business account. Early repayment is allowed with no penalties. Seasonal tradies can arrange flexible payment schedules.
