How do I get a business loan in Geelong?

Apply online, connect or upload six months of bank statements, and our credit team reviews the trading pattern behind them. If it is a fit you receive an offer setting out the amount, the term and the single fixed repayment. Nothing is drawn until you accept it in writing.

Do you take security over my property?

A director's guarantee applies to every facility, which makes a director personally liable if the business does not repay. It is not a mortgage over your home. We set out what it means before you sign rather than leaving it in the schedule.

We buy materials for a build and get paid on delivery months later. Can you fund that?

Yes, that is one of the most common patterns we fund in manufacturing and fabrication. What we check is that the order book behind it is real and the trading history can carry a fixed repayment across the term.

Do you lend across western Victoria?

Yes. Eligibility is based on how the business trades rather than where it is registered, so operators in Ballarat, Colac, Warrnambool, Hamilton and Portland apply on the same terms.

How much does it cost?

The cost is quoted as a total, in dollars, before you sign, rather than as a rate you have to reverse-engineer. There is a worked example on the home page, and the team can price a specific scenario for you.

Is this regulated consumer credit?

No. GreyRok provides business-purpose finance only. These loans are not regulated by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 and are not available for personal, domestic or household purposes.

GEELONG DEMAND

Why Geelong SMEs are funding-active

Geelong rebuilt its industrial base after the large plants closed, and what replaced them is smaller, more numerous and more thinly capitalised. Around one in five local businesses is now in construction, and transport is the third largest sector.

People in the Geelong region: 355,990People in the Geelong region

Construction businesses, the largest sector: 6,326Construction businesses, the largest sector

The residential corridor through Armstrong Creek and the northern suburbs keeps local trades busy, and the same progress-claim cycle applies here as in Melbourne: materials and labour first, certification later.

The engineering and advanced manufacturing firms that replaced the big plants are small enough that a single tooling run or materials order is a real balance-sheet event. They quote on delivery and are paid on terms.

Nearly 3,000 transport and warehousing businesses work the port and the ring road. Fuel, fleet and drivers are weekly costs paid against freight invoices settled monthly.
