FAQs

Frequently asked questions

If you’re a NZ small business owner who has been trading for 6 months or more (or you bought an existing business at least 3 months ago) and you can demonstrate a turnover of $6,000 or more per month, you can apply for an SME business loan with Prospa.

The small business loan application process takes around 10 minutes and starts with an online form. It’s a good idea to have handy your NZBN, driver’s licence details, basic details about your business (operating years, structure & turnover) & trading business bank account details. For small business loans over $250,000, you’ll also need some basic financial statements, like a P&L and cash flow.

Once we have everything we need from you for your SME business loan application we usually provide a very quick decision with funding possible in 24 hours to most NZ financial institutions. If your loan is approved, we’ll email you with a loan document with all the details about your small business loan. This includes finance amount, interest rate, fees, and your repayment details so you have everything up front and know exactly where you stand. You can then sign the business loan document electronically and the process is complete.

If you’d rather not use an asset as upfront security against your small business loan – Prospa can help. For SME business loans of up to $150,000, New Zealand businesses don’t need asset security to access the funds. Terms and conditions apply, of course, but it is a handy thing to know if you need the finance to support working capital.
