"Stream got my business $180K of equipment finance in 3 days after two banks wasted 5 weeks of my time. The difference wasn't luck. They just knew which lender would say yes."

Bank vs Stream

Banks say no for tidy reasons. Non-bank lenders say yes for real ones.

Your bank's algorithm spits you out before a human looks at the file. Our non-bank panel looks at where the business is today and where it's heading, not just last year's tax return.

Bank process

Strict boxes. Slow answers. Frequent no's.

  • Minimum 2 years trading, no exceptions
  • Profit in most recent financials required
  • Often requires property security
  • 4-6 weeks to a decision
  • Business owner on a work visa often declined
  • Every decline sits on your credit file
Stream process

Real assessment. Real speed. Deals actually get done.

  • Trading from 6 months considered, strong contracts help
  • Recent year loss fine if cashflow is improving
  • Unsecured up to $500K available
  • 48-hour decision from complete file
  • Directors on work visas regularly approved
  • Soft check only. Zero impact at enquiry.
The 3 questions every business owner asks

Answered straight.

No sales spin. Here's what actually matters.

"Do I need 2 years of financials?"

No. We work with businesses from 6 months of trading.

Our non-bank panel looks at bank statements, live contracts, and real cashflow, not just last year's tax return. If your trajectory is right, the deal gets done.

  • Trading 6+ months with positive cashflow
  • Strong contracts in hand even without trading history
  • Pre-revenue deals on case-by-case basis
Minimum trading history

6 months

Enough time to show positive cashflow on bank statements

"Do I need property as security?"

No. Unsecured up to $500K available.

Equipment finance uses the asset itself as security, which is often faster and cheaper than unsecured. Unsecured business loans available based on turnover and cashflow, no house required.

  • Unsecured to $500K on strong trading history
  • Asset-backed equipment finance up to 100% LVR
  • Director's guarantee is standard, property isn't
Unsecured ceiling

$500K

No residential property security required

"What will it actually cost?"

Lenders pay us. You pay us nothing unless your deal settles.

Business finance rates typically 8-18% p.a. depending on lender, risk and security. Every fee disclosed in writing before you sign.

  • No upfront or enquiry fees
  • Broker fee (if any) disclosed before you sign
  • Lender establishment, PPSR, admin costs shown upfront

Business FAQ

Straight answers for business owners.

No. Lenders on our panel will look at deals from 6 months of trading, and a handful consider pre-trading if the director has relevant industry experience and contracts in hand.

No. Unsecured business loans up to $500K are available depending on turnover. For equipment and vehicle finance, the asset itself is the security.

Business finance rates vary by lender, security type and risk profile. Typically 8% to 18% p.a. for established businesses, higher for non-prime. We'll show you the actual rates on your approvals before you commit.

Typical timeline is 4 to 7 working days from complete application to funds settled. Simple asset finance can settle same-day. Complex deals with legal structures take longer.

Photo ID, 6 months of business bank statements, most recent annual accounts, and a short summary of what the funds are for. We handle the rest.

Yes. Our non-bank panel specialises in looking forward, not backward. A poor previous year with a strong trajectory this year is often fundable. Tell us the real picture and we'll tell you straight.

Your business is moving. Your bank isn't.
