Working capital, sorted
Funding for the timing gap, not a specific asset
Most cashflow squeezes are about timing, not viability. You have the work, the invoices are coming, but the bills land first.
A cashflow facility gives you fast access to working capital so you can meet your obligations now and repay as the money comes in. It is finance for the gap, not a long-term loan tied to a single asset.
What you can use it for
Put the facility to work however your business needs it.
Make payroll on time
Cover wages and super through a slow month or a late-paying client so your team is never left waiting.
Buy stock for a big order
Fund inventory or materials upfront when a large order lands, then repay once it ships and the customer pays.
Pay a tax or BAS bill
Clear a GST, PAYG or BAS payment on time and avoid penalties while you wait on incoming receipts.
Settle supplier invoices early
Pay key suppliers on terms, hold your trade relationships, and capture any early-settlement discounts on offer.
Ride out a seasonal dip
Smooth the quiet stretch in a seasonal business so fixed costs stay covered until trade picks back up.
Move on an opportunity
Take on a bigger contract, a bulk-buy deal or a sudden growth spurt without draining the operating account.
Why businesses choose Ventas
Fast when timing matters
Cashflow problems do not wait, so neither do we. Many facilities are approved and funded in 24 to 48 hours, with a low-doc application that keeps paperwork light.
40+ lenders, one conversation
We compare working-capital options across more than 40 lenders to find the structure and rate that fits your situation, all from a single quick chat.
Honest about what it is
This is a short-term facility to bridge a gap, not a long-term loan against an asset. We will tell you plainly if a different option suits you better.
A facility for timing, not a forever loan
Cashflow finance is designed to be drawn, repaid and freed up again as your receivables come in. If you need long-term funding tied to property or equipment, that is a different product, and we will point you to it rather than stretch this one to fit.

Three different problems that look identical
A cash shortfall feels the same from the inside whatever is causing it, but the three common causes need different answers. A timing problem is when the work is done, the invoices are out, and the money simply lands after the bills do. That is what a cashflow facility is built for, and it clears itself as the receivables come in.
A growth problem looks similar and is not. Winning larger jobs means funding more materials, more wages and more lead time before any of it is billed, and the gap gets wider with every win rather than closing. That usually needs a facility sized to the new run rate, not a one-off injection that gets consumed by the next contract.
A margin problem is the one to be honest about. If the work itself is not covering its costs, borrowing moves the shortfall forward rather than solving it, and the interest makes the next month harder. Any broker worth using will say so rather than write the deal. Tell us what the gap is and what is causing it in the form above and we will tell you which of the three you have. If speed matters more than price, see caveat loans explained.

Common questions
Business Cashflow Finance, explained
How much can I borrow with a cashflow facility?
You can access up to $500,000 through a business cashflow facility. The amount available to you depends on your turnover, trading history and the strength of your incoming receivables. We will give you a clear figure once we understand your numbers.
How fast can the funds come through?
Many cashflow facilities are approved and funded within 24 to 48 hours. Speed depends on how quickly we get the basics from you, which is why the application is kept low-doc. We will tell you upfront how soon you can realistically expect funds.
Is this a loan against an asset?
No. Cashflow finance is a short-term working-capital facility to bridge the gap between money going out and money coming in. It is not secured against a specific asset like equipment or property, which is part of why it can move quickly.
What can I use the money for?
Any genuine business purpose where timing is the issue: payroll, stock, a tax or BAS bill, supplier invoices, a large new order, or a seasonal dip. It is business-purpose finance only, not for personal use.
What do I need to apply?
Applications are low-doc, so you usually need recent bank statements and basic business details rather than full financials. Once we see your trading picture we can match you to the right lender on our panel of 40 plus.
Does it cost anything to get a quote?
No. There is no upfront cost to apply and a rate quote is free. You only proceed if the facility and the rate make sense for your business, and we will be straight with you if it does not.
