Interest is calculated daily and is only calculated on your remaining loan balance.

The NAB QuickBiz Loan is available as a principal and interest loan for a 12, 24 or 36 month term (with monthly repayments). This means you’ll be required to pay off your loan over the term you choose.

The NAB QuickBiz Loan has no upfront or ongoing fees but economic costs may apply if you choose to pay the loan off before the end date of the contract.

When thinking about using an unsecured business loan, you need to remember that you'll generally be offered a higher interest rate than you would with a secured loan. This is because unsecured loans pose more of a risk to lenders.

Some of the typical uses for an unsecured business loan:

• the purchase of inventory and raw material
• to increase working capital to help manage day-to-day operations
• to pay for advertising or marketing
• to expand or renovate your workplace
• to manage unexpected business expenses.

The minimum annual turnover requirement for a NAB QuickBiz Loan is at least $75,000 per year. We want to make it easier for your business to apply and help you access funds sooner.
