Business Loans with Bad Credit FAQ's

Contact us on 1300 138 188 for advise or financial support.

If you’ve had issues getting finance approval, you may have bad credit. The first step is to get a complete picture of your credit history, by applying to get a copy of your credit report.

Obtain a copy of your credit file, and check for negative listings. You can get this through the following credit reporting agencies:

By law, you are able to get a free credit report year, or, if you are refused credit, within 90 days. You can also pay a small fee to get a copy at any time.

Make sure the information is correct:

Many people have mistakes listed on their credit file, caused by an incorrect listing by the financial institution or in serious cases, identity theft.

If there is a mistake get in touch with the credit provider, credit reporting agency or office of the Privacy Commissioner. If this sounds too complicated, we can help

Rebuild your credit score with a credit card and paying bills on time:

It is important to note that no borrowing money can cause you to have little to no credit history. Having a credit card with a low balance where you pay it out every month, can make you look better in the eyes of credit providers. It shows you can handle your money and debts. For those of you who struggle with credit cards, have a low balance, so you don’t get into hot water.

Make sure that you pay your utility and phone bills on time, as these can end up in the hands of debt collection agencies and be listed on your credit file.

A bad credit rating has an impact on your ability to borrow money from traditional lenders. However, there are a number of things you can do to fix your bad credit rating. Here are a few tips we suggest:

Pay Off Your Debts

Bad credit history will never be repaired if you have black marks and outstanding defaults on your credit file.

If you are struggling to pay off your debt, you should consider talking to the Australian Lending Centre about negotiating with your creditors or entering a debt agreement to pay off your debts.

Repair Credit

If your debts are already paid off then it might be worth looking more closely at your credit file. We recommend getting in touch with Clean Credit who are the market specialists in this field.

They will be able to talk you through what is on your credit report and the reason behind your bad credit rating. From here, you can go through the process of credit repair and get defaults, judgements and credit inquiries removed from your credit file.

Cut up Your High-Interest Credit Cards

Credit cards and store cards are one of the quickest ways to get a bad credit rating. When you miss a few months of payment, your credit card provider can place black marks on your credit report which can take years to be removed.

Credit card debt is one of the easiest ways to get into trouble as many people are accustomed to relying on credit card debt to get them through life when they do no have sufficient funds to finance their lifestyle.

Even when credit cards are paid off, they can be run back up to their limit in very little time.

With such high-interest rates on credit card debt and store cards, the best option is to simply cut up your credit cards and stop spending on them.

This means changing your spending habits slightly, for example, using a debit card instead of a credit card.

This may help you prevent another infringement or black mark leading to a bad credit rating.

If your business has multiple debts with high-interest rates and fees, a debt consolidation loan can be the answer. With business debt consolidation, we combine all your existing debts into a single loan, usually at a lower interest rate and one set of fees, and a longer payment term, to make managing repayments more manageable. This can free up much-needed capital and allow you to operate more effectively as a business.
