I highly recommend Funding Loop to anyone looking for a one stop shop for business finance, and who truly care about delivering excellent results for their clients.
Trade Finance
Pay suppliers - local or overseas - when the order's placed, and repay when the stock sells. Funding that matches your stock cycle instead of fighting it.
Is trade finance actually right for you?
Built for the gap between paying for stock and selling it. If that gap is your problem, this is the product.
It fits when
- You pay suppliers weeks or months before the stock turns into revenue
- You import - deposits upfront, balance on shipment, cash stretched across both
- Bulk-buy pricing is on the table if you could just fund the bigger order
- You build stock ahead of a season and carry the cost until it sells
Look at something else when
- The cash is stuck in your own unpaid invoices - that's Invoice Finance
- You're buying equipment, not stock - that's Asset Finance
- You want a general standby facility - that's a Line of Credit
What to expect - without the fine print voice.
- How it works
- The lender pays your supplier directly when the order's placed. You repay on terms shaped around your stock cycle - after the goods land and start selling.
- Typical amounts
- $25k to $2M.
- Suppliers
- Local and overseas both. Your supplier just gets paid - nothing changes on their side.
- Repayment terms
- Up to 120 days, shaped around your stock cycle.
- International payments
- Pairs naturally with FX for Business so the exchange rate doesn't quietly eat the margin the finance just created.
- Rates
- Depend on your situation and the lender - you compare matched offers side by side before choosing anything.
- Cost to you
- Free for businesses - we're paid by the lender when your loan settles. It doesn't change the rate you're offered.
Same process as everything we do.
We understand your business
A short application, then a real conversation. What the funding is for, how your cash flow moves, what timing you're up against.
We match you and show offers side by side
Your application reaches the lenders that fund your kind of stock and supplier terms. Compare matched offers side by side.
We handle it through to funded
Pick the offer that fits. Your specialist manages the paperwork and the provider until everything's in place.
What you'll need on hand.
Most applications start with just these. Your specialist tells you if anything more is needed - before you dig for anything.
- Your ABN and basic business details
- What the funding is for, in a sentence
- A supplier invoice or pro-forma for the order you want funded
- Your last two years' financial accounts
- Access to your ATO online account, so we can confirm your BAS and tax are up to date
These often fit instead.
Asked about trade finance specifically.
Does my supplier need to do anything?
Almost nothing - they get paid, usually faster than they're used to. The facility sits between you and the lender; your supplier relationship stays exactly as it was, except you've become the customer who pays upfront.
Can I use it for overseas suppliers?
Yes - imports are half the reason this product exists. Deposits, balance payments and freight timing can all be built into the facility, and pairing it with an FX facility protects the currency side of the same deal.
Does checking my options affect my credit score?
No credit check to see your options. A credit check only happens if you choose to formally proceed with a lender.
What does it cost?
Free for businesses - we're paid by the lender when your loan settles. It doesn't change the rate you're offered.

Amazing broker who will fight and work hard for you. I have had only positive things to say. They help you with strategy, know every lender well, and will discuss with you why you should go with them or not the others. Won't pressure you, will follow up promptly, and will even crunch numbers for affordability and give you the right path forward. They have been growing rapidly, and it's not hard to see why. Excited to see all the updates on your website. Will see you in 12 months.
I cannot recommend Kenneth from Funding Loop highly enough. From day one, he has gone above and beyond to support me and ensure I have access to the services and supports I need. Kenneth is always approachable, responsive, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcomes for his clients. He takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and follows through on everything he says he will do. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble. Navigating funding and supports can be overwhelming, but Kenneth has made the process so much easier. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication have given me confidence and peace of mind knowing that I have someone advocating for my needs. Thank you, Kenneth, for your outstanding support and commitment. Your kindness and willingness to go the extra mile have made a real difference in my life.
