NAB Business Recovery Loans have been designed to help small and medium sized enterprises (SME) that have been hit hard by the economic impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19), and by March 2021 flooding. The loan is intended to form part of the Federal Government’s new SME Recovery Loan Scheme, allowing eligible businesses to access finance as JobKeeper is phased out.
The NAB Business Recovery Loan is designed to be provided as part of the Australian Government’s SME Recovery Loan Scheme (‘Scheme’). Eligibility under the Scheme is determined by the Scheme rules. Before NAB can offer Scheme supported loans, it must first be approved by the Commonwealth Government as a Participating Lender under the Scheme.
You’ll be able to apply for a secured business loan of up to $5 million, with security options including a mortgage over commercial real estate, or other security suitable to NAB.1 Residential property cannot be used to secure this type of loan.
You’ll be able to apply for an unsecured business loan of up to $250,000.1
There are several key benefits of NAB Business Recovery Loans for eligible businesses, including:
It’s important to understand that by deferring your repayments, you'll pay more interest than if principal and interest repayments were made from the start of your loan (your loan commencement). Once your deferral period ends, your loan balance will include the original loan amount, plus the interest that’s accumulated during your repayment deferral.
You can still make repayments during the deferral period. If you do, this will reduce the interest you’ll be charged.
To register your interest in applying for a loan you can use our enquiry form. One of our bankers will then be in touch to discuss how we can assist.
Alternatively, if you’re an existing NAB business customer, you can speak directly to your business banker to register your interest. If you’re new to NAB call us on 13 10 12 to enquire.
We’ll require signed loan documents for your NAB Business Recovery Loan by 31 December 2021. To allow us enough time to prepare the documents, and for you to have enough time to fill them out, we recommend you apply by 10 December 2021.

Alternatively, we have a range of business loans and overdrafts that may meet your needs.

If you’re experiencing financial difficulty, or need to discuss your existing NAB facilities, you can speak with a NAB Business Banker to discuss your needs in more detail or call us on 13 10 12.
While it is expected that the Government will provide NAB with an 80% guarantee on the loan, this in no way changes a borrower's obligations to repay the loan in full by the end of term. The term of the loan is for 10 years. Please note that while approved applicants are eligible to defer repayments, interest will continue to accrue over this period. The loan must be repaid with principal and interest repayments that begin after the deferral period.
1 The NAB Business Recovery Loan will be available to approved NAB business customers, subject to NAB eligibility and lending criteria. Terms and conditions apply.
The following additional restrictions and exclusions apply:
2 You can request a shorter repayment deferral. You can apply for a repayment deferral of up to 24 months subject to NAB’s discretion.
