Bridge the buy-now-sell-later gap
Buy the stock now, pay when it has earned
Port Augusta is a serious business market. We treat it that way. Our lender panel includes institutions that actively want regional book, and we know exactly who to go to for a Port Augusta deal. Mining operations demand heavy, high-value equipment and lenders who understand the sector. We have both.
Importers, wholesalers and retailers all run the same gap: suppliers want paying up front, but the cash does not come back until the goods are sold or the invoice is paid. A trade facility closes that gap. We pay the supplier on your behalf, you take delivery and sell, then repay the facility once the money lands. Set-up is fast and low-doc, the line revolves as you trade, and because we work across more than 40 lenders you are matched to the one that prices your stock cycle best. If your gap is more about slow-paying customers than buying stock, see our cashflow finance, or for asset purchases look at business equipment finance, or just tell us your scenario.

How does a trade facility actually work?
It is a revolving line that pays your suppliers on your behalf. We settle the invoice, you receive and sell the goods, then you repay the facility once the sale or the customer invoice is paid. The line then frees up again for your next order.
Can it pay suppliers overseas as well as in Australia?
Yes. The facility can settle invoices with local suppliers or with offshore suppliers on an import order, which is why importers, wholesalers and retailers all use it. Tell us where your suppliers are and we will match it to the right lender.
How fast can a facility be set up?
Set-up is fast and low-doc. Once we have your details and a sample supplier invoice or order, an indicative facility can usually come back within a couple of business days, often sooner on clean, straightforward applications.
Do I need full financials to apply?
Often not. Low-doc options mean many trade facilities are arranged without full financials or tax returns. We focus on your stock cycle and your suppliers, then match you to a lender across our panel of more than 40.
How is this different from cashflow finance or a business loan?
A trade facility is built to pay suppliers for stock you are about to sell, so it revolves with your buying cycle. Cashflow finance is geared more to bridging slow-paying customer invoices, and a business loan is a lump sum repaid on a fixed schedule. If you are not sure which fits, we will point you to the right one.
