Starting a Business
Looking for a loan to start your business? CFI can help!
Many banks and finance companies shy away from funding new businesses. At CFI we’ve built our business on helping other people to start theirs. Talk to us today about how we can help you.
Get your start with a Business Loan from CFI Finance

CFI rewards your experience and looks at the bigger picture. Whether your business venture is purely an investment or you’re going to be working in the business day-to-day, CFI is the finance company for you.
With loan amounts from $25,000 to $250,000+, and terms of up to 5 years, your new business goals might be closer than you think.
What is a business loan?
With a loan the financier provides funding to the business. In exchange for that funding the business agrees to repay those borrowed funds over an agreed loan term, together with any applicable interest and fees.
CFI business loans are typically secured by the assets of the business and run for terms of between two and five years. Payments are made weekly to make budgeting easy and to reduce the impact on customers’ cash-flow.
How fast can a business loan be approved?
This really depends on a number of factors, including the size and complexity of the loan and associated security, as well as the profile of individuals associated with the borrower. Typically CFI approves loans in 24-48 hours, but more complex transactions may take 3-5 days.
How much can I borrow?
With a Business Loan from CFI you can borrow from $25,000 up to $250,000 or sometimes more. Loan amounts depend on the purpose for the loan, the financial position of the business (and related individuals) applying, and the security available for the loan.

Loan amounts vary by finance product and based on your specific circumstances. Business Loans are typically for amounts between $25,000 and $250,000 – but we can often lend more (and we have products for lower loan amounts).
At CFI we started out just financing franchises, so we’re very good at it. CFI has relationships with lots of major franchise brands, and our franchise accreditation model can make it easier for existing and prospective franchisees to access funding.
CFI has helped thousands of Australians to realise their dreams of business ownership. Regardless of whether you’re looking to start a new business, or buy an existing business, CFI can help.
A deposit may be required for some loans, but not always, it depends on a number of factors including the loan size and the financial product selected. For new businesses it may depend on what money you’ve already invested or plan to invest in setting up your business. A CFI Finance Specialist can give you a better indication of whether or not a deposit may be required based on your specific circumstances.
