Summary

Qualification criteria

Cost

There are no charges for setting up a Spot On line of credit, so it could be a useful option if you want the security of having funds at hand but don’t want to pay for a facility you may not need.

You can draw down between $500 and your credit limit. Each sum you draw down will be treated as a separate business loan which you’ll repay in instalments over 6 – 24 months.

Each time you access funds from your loan account you’ll pay a draw down fee (a percentage of your credit limit). You’ll also pay interest at a rate based on the perceived risk level – but only on the outstanding loan balance, not on the full credit limit.

After the first month you can repay your loan early without penalty.

How to apply

Spotcap has a fast, online application process which can take just a few minutes. You’ll need to provide basic information about your business, and then either upload your financial reports or connect your accounting software and online bank account to Spotcap’s systems.

They will use their unique credit assessment algorithm to evaluate your data and decide if, and how much, much you are able to borrow.

Spotcap will evaluate your business loan application within 24 hours. If approved you can begin drawing funds from your line of credit right away. When you want to draw down funds, Spotcap will immediately initiate a funds transfer so the cash could be in your account by the next working day, depending on your bank.
