Common Questions About Applying

How long does it take to apply for a business loan?

The Velociti Capital online application takes approximately 2 minutes to complete. You'll need your ABN, business details, and information about the loan amount you're seeking. After submission, you'll upload 6 months of bank statements, which takes an additional 2-3 minutes. The entire application process is typically completed in under 10 minutes.

What documents are required to apply for a business loan?

You need: 6 months of business bank statements (PDF or secure bank connection), valid Australian Business Number (ABN), business registration details, director identification (driver's license or passport), and basic business information (trading name, revenue, time in business). No tax returns, financial statements, or property valuations required.

Can I apply for a business loan online?

Yes, Velociti Capital's entire application process is 100% online. Complete the application form on any device, upload documents digitally, receive electronic approval, and sign agreements online. No branch visits, phone calls, or in-person meetings required. The process is designed for busy business owners to apply anytime, anywhere.

How fast can I get a decision on my business loan application?

Most complete applications receive a decision within 2-4 hours during business days (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm AEST). Some straightforward applications are approved within 1 hour. Applications submitted outside business hours are processed the next business day. Once approved, loan agreements are sent immediately for electronic signature.

Can I apply for a business loan if I have bad credit?

Yes, you can apply with less-than-perfect credit. Velociti Capital focuses primarily on your current business performance and cash flow rather than historical credit issues. While credit history is reviewed, strong recent trading patterns and consistent revenue can offset previous credit challenges. Many businesses with imperfect credit are approved.

What are the eligibility requirements to apply for a business loan?

Basic requirements: Active Australian Business Number (ABN), minimum 6 months trading history, at least $6,000 in monthly revenue, registered Australian business with a local bank account, and ability to provide 6 months of business bank statements. No specific credit score required, and no property security needed for loans up to $350,000.

Do I need to provide a business plan to apply?

No, Velociti Capital does not require a formal business plan. We assess your application based on actual business performance shown in your bank statements, not projections or business plans. This makes the application faster and simpler - you only need bank statements and basic business information.
