SME loan basics
SME loans are either secured or unsecured. With a secured SME loan, you need business or personal as collateral for the loan. For example, with some types of equipment finance, the asset bought is the collateral for the loan. Unsecured business loans don’t require you to use property or other assets for security. For this reason, more small and medium businesses are choosing unsecured SME loans in Australia.
SMEs often need to quickly access funds and upfront capital to invest in their operations or business growth initiatives. Traditional lending options can be time-consuming and often require large amounts of paperwork, including financial statements. In addition, conventional loans aren’t structured to pursue short-term opportunities in a fast-moving environment.
Moula provides unsecured SME loans with real flexibility, making it possible for you to use the funds for your business needs without waiting weeks for a decision. Consistent repayment options give you control without using any of your assets as collateral for the loan.
An SME loan expands your business finance options if you run a business. Unsecured SME loans from Moula provide freedom and flexibility to use the funds to meet your business needs, whether buying equipment, increasing working capital or buying inventory. The loan term and amount are based on the current trading position of your business. This makes it an effective solution for service-based business owners seeking unsecured SME loans in Australia.
When you need to move quickly to take advantage of an urgent opportunity, waiting for a conventional secured loan won’t work. A quick SME loan could be the perfect solution when you need to act fast.
A better way for SMEs to borrow money
Many Australian businesses face the challenge of generating enough cash flow to grow. Unsecured SME loans in Australia can solve this problem. This type of loan isn’t secured against personal or business assets but is based on your cash flow and ability to make scheduled payments based on the loan amount.

To begin an application for an SME loan from Moula, you’ll need to provide proof of business income and expenses. Usually, we want to see six months of financials to be confident you can make repayments and that this finance option is best for your business.
To get started, the basic information we need is:
- An active ABN or ACN
- 6+ months in business
- $10,000+ in monthly sales
From there, we might need more information – including checking your credit history – depending on what your application looks like.
To make it as simple as possible, we structure repayments around an interest rate that is applied against the outstanding balance of your SME loan – and there are no hidden fees and charges.
Your interest rate will be based on your current business performance and overall risk level. We assess each business individually and determine the best rates according to current performance.
