How do I get a business loan in Wollongong?

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.

Our work comes in shutdown cycles rather than evenly. Does that matter?

No. Lumpy revenue is normal in maintenance and fabrication, and the statements show the cycle clearly. We size the facility against what the business can repay across the term, not against its best month.

Do you lend south into the Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands?

Yes. Eligibility is based on how the business trades rather than where it is registered, so operators in Nowra, Berry, Bowral, Moss Vale and Ulladulla 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.

WOLLONGONG DEMAND

Why Illawarra SMEs are funding-active

The Illawarra runs two economies side by side: an industrial one anchored at Port Kembla and a fast-growing residential one stretching north and south along the coast. More than one in five local businesses works in construction, serving both.

Construction businesses, the largest sector: 4,886Construction businesses, the largest sector

Construction is the largest sector by a wide margin, and the growth corridors north towards Helensburgh and south into Shellharbour keep a steady queue of work in front of local trades. Taking the next job usually means carrying it first.

Fabrication and maintenance businesses working around Port Kembla are paid on contract cycles set by much larger customers. Shutdown and turnaround work in particular compresses months of cost into a few weeks.

Health care is the third largest sector in the region. Practices and clinics spend on rooms, equipment and staff ahead of the billings those decisions eventually produce.
