Why choose CFI?

No asset security

Fixed rate certainty

Your rate is locked in for the full term — no surprises, no variable-rate risk. You know exactly what your repayments are before you sign.

Common questions

How much can I borrow?

Business Boost provides $10,000 to $50,000 in working capital. The amount is based on your business turnover — we look at your average monthly revenue and work out what's manageable within your cash flow cycle.

Do I need to provide security?

No — Business Boost is unsecured. We don't take security over your business assets or property. Director guarantees are required.

Can the interest rate increase?

No. Your rate is fixed for the full term — your repayment amount is confirmed before you sign, so you know exactly what to expect.

How long do I need to have been trading?

We're looking for at least 12 months of continuous trading with consistent revenue. If you're earlier in your journey, our Start a Business or Growth Stage finance may be a better fit.

What can I use the funds for?

A range of short-term business needs — stock purchases, seasonal cash flow gaps, unexpected expenses, minor refurbishments, or growth costs. We just need a clear business purpose for the funds.

How quickly can I get approved?

Most applications are assessed within 24–48 hours. Business Boost deals are typically straightforward — if your banking is clean and the purpose is clear, we can often move even faster.

What if I have existing business loans?

Having existing finance doesn't automatically rule you out, but we need to make sure the overall debt load is manageable. If you have multiple short-term facilities, talk to us — we may be able to consolidate them into a single facility.

Can I make additional repayments?

Yes. You can make additional payments at any time during the term of your loan, which may reduce the total interest payable.
