Lender panel

Different lenders. Different appetites.

We work with a panel of Australian business lenders. Tennanova helps identify which types of facilities may warrant a closer look before a formal application is considered.

The panel

How the panel is made up.

The panel spans fast unsecured, specialist and secured lenders. Each has its own products, criteria and appetite, and these change. Which lenders are relevant to a particular business is worked out during the application.

  • Fast & unsecured

    Speed-first lenders

    Working capital and revolving limits, assessed mainly on turnover, bank statements and time trading.

  • Specialist

    Specialist lenders

    ATO debt, refinancing and the files mainstream lenders tend to pass on.

  • Secured & asset

    Secured lenders

    Larger facilities backed by property, equipment or receivables, often over longer terms.

Every lender weighs these differently:

  • Turnover
  • Time trading
  • Credit history
  • ATO position
  • Existing debt
  • Industry
  • Security
  • Purpose

Lender appetite

Why the same business gets different answers.

A decline from one lender says little about the next. Knowing which criteria matter most for a business helps avoid applications that were unlikely to fit.

01

Turnover

Lenders size facilities against revenue differently, and some set minimum monthly turnover.

02

Time trading

Minimum trading periods vary from lender to lender and product to product.

03

Industry

Some industries sit outside a lender's appetite entirely; others are a specialty.

04

Existing commitments

Current facilities and repayments affect how much more a business can service.

05

Conduct and credit

Dishonours, missed repayments, defaults and the ATO position are read differently.

06

Security

Whether property or other assets are available changes the size and term on offer.
