NAB Microenterprise Loans

NAB provides unsecured business loans of between $500 and $20,000 for people on low incomes who have few or no avenues to access affordable business credit.

The loans are provided on a not-for-profit basis and are available to help start up or support an existing business of five or fewer employees. Liability for the loan sits with the applicant, not the business. Recipients get access to business skills training and advice during the first year of their business.
