How it works

An approved limit on standby, not a lump sum you did not need

A business overdraft gives you an approved limit that sits alongside your trading, ready to draw when you need it. You pay interest only on the balance you have drawn, repay as money comes in, and the limit frees up again for next time.

Terms, fees and conditions vary by lender, and with many of the facilities we arrange your everyday banking stays where it is. As a brokerage we compare options across a panel of 40+ lenders, match you to the structure that fits how your business actually trades, and explain each lender's terms plainly before you commit.

What you can use it for

Put the facility to work however your business needs it.

Lumpy or uneven cashflow

When revenue lands in clumps but wages and rent land every week, the overdraft absorbs the gap between the two.

Payroll timing

Cover wages and super in the week before a big receivable clears, then repay the drawn balance once it does.

Seasonal businesses

Carry the quiet months without draining reserves, then run the facility back to zero through the busy season.

Early supplier discounts

Draw down to pay suppliers early and capture the discount, which can outweigh the interest on a short draw.

Slow-paying customers

Keep operating normally while a large invoice sits at 30, 60 or 90 days, instead of juggling which bill to pay first.

A standing buffer

Set the facility up before you need it, so an unexpected bill or a sudden opportunity never forces a rushed decision.

Why businesses choose Ventas

01

Interest on what you draw, not the limit

You are charged interest on the drawn balance, not on the approved limit. Some lenders charge a line or facility fee to keep the limit open, and we walk you through those costs before you commit.

02

Draw, repay and redraw

The facility is revolving, so you can run it up and back to zero as your cashflow moves. Minimum terms and review periods vary by lender, and we tell you exactly what applies before you sign.

03

Your banking can often stay put

Many of the lenders on our panel offer standalone facilities that run alongside your existing accounts, so you may not need to move your day-to-day banking. Where a lender does require it, we tell you upfront so there are no surprises.

Set the limit up before the squeeze, not during it

The best time to arrange an overdraft is when cashflow is steady, because approval is smoother and the limit is stronger. Most approvals come back in 24 to 48 hours, and getting a quote has no impact on your credit score.

What a lender looks at, and when to ask

An overdraft is assessed on the pattern of your trading rather than on a single purchase, so the evidence that matters is your bank statements: how money moves through the account, how deep the troughs go, and whether the account recovers between them. That is why a few months of statements does more for this application than almost anything else you could provide.

Ask before you need it. A facility applied for while trading is steady is a straightforward conversation; the same facility applied for during the squeeze it is meant to solve is a harder one, because the statements now show the stress rather than the pattern. The whole point of a limit is that it sits there unused until the month it is needed.

Limits are reviewed rather than fixed for life, so a facility set when the business was smaller can generally be revisited as turnover grows, and it is worth revisiting rather than layering a second product on top. You do not have to move your day to day banking to arrange one through a broker. Tell us your peak and trough position in the form above. Related: how to get approved.

Common questions

Business Overdraft Facility, explained

How does a business overdraft facility work?

You are approved for a limit, up to $500,000, that sits ready alongside your normal trading. You draw on it when you need to, pay interest on the drawn balance, and repay as money comes in, which frees the limit up again. Exact terms and fees vary by lender, and we explain them before you commit.

Do I pay interest on the whole limit?

No. Interest is charged only on the balance you have actually drawn, so a facility sitting at zero is not accruing interest. Some lenders do charge a line or facility fee to keep the limit open, and we walk you through those costs before you commit to anything.

Do I have to move my banking to get one?

Often not. Many lenders on our panel offer standalone facilities that run alongside your existing transaction accounts. Some lenders, particularly banks, do require the facility to sit with your main account, and we tell you which is which before you apply.

How fast can the facility be in place?

Most approvals come back within 24 to 48 hours. Applications are low-doc, so recent bank statements and basic business details are usually enough to get a firm answer. Getting a quote has no impact on your credit score.

Is there a lock-in contract?

It depends on the lender. Some facilities are fully revolving with no minimum term, while others carry review periods, minimum terms or exit conditions. We put those terms in front of you plainly before you commit, and if a different product fits better we will say so.

What does it cost to apply?

Nothing upfront. A rate quote is free, there are no application fees, and our broking fee is paid by the lender at settlement. You only proceed if the limit and the pricing make sense for your business.
