Backing Western Australia’s small businesses

With a population of just over 2 million people and over 180,000 businesses, Greater Perth is one of Australia’s booming metropolitan hubs[i]

Did you know that a quarter (24.7%) of Western Australia’s economy comes from small businesses? That adds up to $50.1 billion! Four in 10 people that work in WA’s private sector workforce are employed by small businesses (41% at 493,650 people). A fact less surprising might be that even through WA is about 1/3 of Australia’s land mass, nearly 8 in 10 of the state’s small businesses are based in the Perth metro area.

Western Australia is full of entrepreneurs, or sole traders that do not have employees. These non-employing small businesses account for nearly 65% of all small businesses with just over 150,000 on the ABS report for 2019. You probably guessed it, but the top industries in WA are construction; professional, scientific and technical services; and rental, hiring and real estate services.

Improve your business finance with an OnDeck loan

Funds you need, when you need them

OnDeck lightning loans can be funded in as fast as 2 hours, while a more complex small business loan can be approved and funded in only 1 business day.

No collateral with an unsecured business loan

Business loans can either be secured or unsecured. A secured business loan is a loan that is guaranteed by an asset. On the other hand, unsecured business loans allow you to borrow money for your business without the need for collateral. OnDeck loans are always unsecured, so your assets are not at risk.

Improve business cash flow

For a small business, managing a healthy cash flow (the movement of money in and out of the business) is critical for success. Poor cash flow can lead to interruptions in your activity and mean any small problem, like an unexpected bill or event, can loom larger than it needs to be.

Business loans frequently asked questions

What is a small business loan?

Small business loans come in different shapes and sizes and serve different purposes. Whether you are a business owner looking to expand your business or need cash flow solutions, there is a business loan suitable for you. Small business loans can either be secured or unsecured. OnDeck offers unsecured business loans with a loan amount of up to $250,000.

What are secured and unsecured loans?

Secured business loans are guaranteed by an asset, such as a property or a car. On the other hand, an unsecured business loan does not require any security, hence, the interest rate on unsecured loans can be higher than that of a secured loan, but they don’t put the assets of small businesses at risk.
