TL;DR (6 things to know)
When short-term lenders can fit: You’re days from a cash-flow crunch, you’ve been declined elsewhere, and you can see a clear margin/ROI.
Common pain points borrowers report with short-term facilities: daily or weekly debits can strain cash flow; factor-priced costs may erode margins; recent short-term borrowing can limit access to lower-cost options for a time (policies vary by lender).
Timing matters: many lenders may not refinance a recently funded short-term facility; check policy first.

Legal & Disclosure
1. What Is Bizcap? (Overview)
Is Bizcap Legit? Short answer - Yes. Bizcap is a private, fast-turnaround lender offering 4-12 month term business loans. Usually seen on their website, they offer business loans in a broad range with fast assessment and decisions. Many borrowers consider this style of funding when speed is the priority. Always confirm current details with the lender.
Bizcap at a glance (As at 29 Aug 2025 per Bizcap’s website):
Loans: $5,000 – $5,000,000
Speed: Can be same day
Paperwork: Depends on loan size and risk profile
Repayments: Daily or weekly may be available.
Loan terms: Short 3–12 months (visit Bizcap’s product page).
As with all short-term business loans, speed helps—but speed ≠ fit. Read on before you sign.
If you’re currently struggling with cash flow or looking around for the best deal for you, it might be worthwhile to explore all your available options. At Casey Asset Finance, we have had many business owners rely on us to secure them the right loans (even line of credit facilities) across over 40+ lenders — even if they’ve had a history of bad credit. Explore flexible business loan options for bad credit.
2. Why Clients Contact Us After Funding
In the past year, a number of business owners have told us they took a short-term loan because it felt like the only option. Common themes we hear from clients:
Didn’t realise alternatives existed that can also move quickly
Didn’t know who to ask after bank declines
Unsure how a broker adds value in business lending
Found daily repayments difficult to manage with their cash cycle
Didn’t understand potential impact on future borrowing (varies by lender and timing)
If that’s you, you’re not alone. There’s often a way forward (e.g., extending term with a different structure where eligibility allows). In some cases, clients have refinanced <6-month facilities into 24–36-month terms where eligible.

5. Rates, Fees & Terms (Guide to Short-Term Lenders)
Many short-term lenders (including Bizcap) use factor rates (a one-off multiplier), not APR.
Effective annualised costs vary widely by lender, term and risk. Always request a written quote showing the total repayable, repayment frequency, any fees, and any early-payout rules.
Effective annualised costs on factor-priced facilities can be substantially higher than bank finance.
Terms: commonly short (e.g., 3–12 months in this category).
Repayments: often daily or weekly via direct debit.
Quotes: no-obligation quotes are common; once you sign, the cost is generally fixed. Take your time and ask questions.
Five questions to ask before accepting any business loan (not just short-term loans):
What’s the annualised simple interest (not just the factor)?
What’s the APR (if available), and how is it calculated?
How will this facility affect future borrowing with other lenders?
What is the early payout discount or fee, and when does it apply?
What happens if I miss or need to reduce a repayment?
6. Important: Factor Rate Explained (Fast)
A factor rate is a multiplier, not “% per year”.
Example only (not a quote):
Borrow $100,000 → Repay after 6 months: $130,000
Factor = 1.30
Approx. simple annualised rate ≈ 60% p.a. (0.30 over 6 months × 2)
Once you’ve seen the maths, it’s straightforward—but many owners don’t translate the factor until after signing.
7. The Cost of Choosing Fast Over Fit (Scenario Maths)
Scenario A (example only): $100k @ 1.30 factor over 6 months
Total cost = $30,000 (approx. “interest”)
If levelled to a monthly view: about $21,666 in monthly repayments (illustrative only)
Scenario B (alternative structure we’ve secured in some comparable files): approx. 1.12 factor equivalent over a similar period
Total cost ≈ $11,000
Levelled monthly illustration: about $18,666
Illustrative difference: ≈ $19,000
Examples are illustrative only, not quotes, or typical outcomes. They do not account for fees or timing differences. Savings and eligibility depend on borrower profile, lender policy and timing. Documentation supporting these examples is held on file.

10. When To Use (And When to Compare) Short Term Lenders
May be suitable if:
Emergency working capital (“you need funds asap”)
Declined elsewhere (credit/docs/tenure)
You value speed over cost and can quantify your ROI
Large receivable due soon
Compare if:
Your cash flow fluctuates daily/weekly
You’ve only tried your bank once
You want 2–5 year terms and lower repayments
You plan to repay early and want minimal break costs
You haven’t spoken with a broker who specialises in this niche
Not sure where you sit? A 10-minute call can surface options.
11. Broker Verdict (Straight Up)
Short-term lenders (like Bizcap) fill a real gap: fast, minimal-doc capital when you’re backed into a corner. The trade-offs are higher cost, daily debits, and the fact that small-business facilities are generally outside the National Credit Code; complaints can still be considered by AFCA where the lender is a member. Regulatory frameworks differ from consumer credit.
If you’re clear on cost and ROI, it can be the right call.
If you have breathing space, compare—you may find a lower total cost, less frequent repayments, and more flexibility.
12. What Happens If You Text Us
We don’t “spray and pray” applications. We quietly check your scenario with the right lender managers, so we apply where you’re likely to fit—at a competitive price for your situation. This helps avoid unnecessary enquiries and wasted time. We take steps to minimise credit-file impacts, but we can’t guarantee any particular outcome or effect on your credit score. Oftentimes, we see new clients with multiple hits on their credit file not realising that multiple enquiries can lower a credit score (effect varies by bureau/model and other factors).
How it works
10–20 min chat — we map what’s possible
We compare lenders/structures for your exact situation
If you wish to proceed, we move to contracts promptly
We stay with you through settlement (and after)
It genuinely pays to get a second opinion—especially on factor-rate loans.

15. FAQs
Is Bizcap legit?
Yes—Bizcap is an operating private lender in the Australian market.
What’s a factor rate vs APR?
Factor = one-off multiplier. Simple rate = annualised interest cost. APR = yearly % that standardises fees/charges where applicable (banks typically use APR).
Can I get out early?
Sometimes. Ask for a written early-payout method and any discount/fee before you sign. This applies to any lender—whether long or short-term.
Will a short-term business loan enquiry hurt future borrowing?
It can with many lenders; impact depends on policy, timing and overall profile. An enquiry with a short-term business lender often raises further questions.
Can you beat a Bizcap quote?
Sometimes. In some recent files we’ve moved clients from ~1.25–1.40 factors to ~1.05–1.12 equivalents, or into longer, lower-cost term loans—subject to eligibility. Past results don’t predict future outcomes. Documentation is held on file.
Do I pay you a fee?
Lenders pay brokers from the loan facility. We typically do not charge upfront fees. If an exception applies, we’ll tell you upfront and in writing before you incur any cost.
16. Legal & Disclosure
