Websites.

Websites for business loan brokers.

An owner with a cash flow gap this month, working out who is a broker and who is a lender in disguise.

A website for a business loan broker is competing with lenders who advertise on speed and on a daily repayment that looks small. The site does the opposite: it names the purpose, shows the cost over the term rather than by the day, says plainly that business purpose credit sits outside the National Credit Code, and explains the security a lender usually asks a director to provide.

What they type.

Business owners search the purpose, and they search it at night.

These are the searches and questions a business borrower brings to your site. Every one names a purpose, which is exactly how the pages should be organised.

Most of them are being answered right now by a lender's own ad with a daily repayment in it. A page that shows the total cost over the term is the one that changes how the borrower reads everything else.

Shown as searches, because that is what they are. None of it is ad copy, and none of it is written as a headline.

The pattern.

Where agencies go wrong.

The first mistake is the template, which in business lending means a residential site with the word business added to a heading. Nothing about facilities, nothing about what a lender assesses, nothing about security, and a home loan calculator sitting where a working capital explanation should be.

The second is silence about the regime. Business purpose credit sits outside the National Credit Code, so the protections that apply to a home loan do not apply here, and the Best Interests Duty does not reach this lending either. A site that copies consumer wording across is claiming a duty it does not owe. The honest page states the regime plainly and does not carry the statement.

The third is matching the lenders on speed and on the daily figure. Business lenders advertise on how fast the money lands and on a repayment measured by the day, and a broker who repeats that language inherits the claim. A short facility looks inexpensive by the day and is not, which is why the cost belongs on the page as a total over the term.

The method.

How the site gets built.

  1. We organise the site by purpose, because that is how owners search.

    Working capital, unsecured lending, buying a business or premises, and funding a liability. Four different situations with four different lender appetites, each with its own section, its own explanation and its own next step.

  2. We show cost as a total over the term, never as a figure by the day.

    A daily or weekly number never appears on its own. Where a figure is shown it is a total cost of funds over the term, because that is the only presentation a business owner can compare, and it is the one the lenders' own advertising avoids.

  3. We state the credit regime plainly and leave the consumer wording off.

    Business purpose credit is not covered by the National Credit Code, the Best Interests Duty does not apply, and your aggregator's pre-approved Best Interests Duty wording does not belong on these pages. The Australian Consumer Law still binds every claim, so the page says what applies rather than borrowing language from a home loan site.

  4. We explain the security a lender usually wants from a director.

    Many business facilities are supported by a director's personal commitment, and a page that calls a facility unsecured without saying what the lender takes instead has left out the part that matters. Saying it on the page filters the enquiries that were never going to proceed.

The maths.

What one business loan settlement is worth

The other pages on this site print indicative figures from a working broker's book. Business loan lending is paid in too many shapes for one typical settlement to be honest: the loan size, the fee and whether trail exists at all change with the lender and the facility. So no figure is printed here. Bring your own numbers to the call and the maths gets done on those.

The honest split.

Who the site converts, and who still needs you on the phone.

The site can convert them

  • Site

    The owner with a cash flow gap researching at night

    They are comparing a broker with a direct lender at eleven o'clock, and the page that explains cost properly wins that comparison.

  • Site

    The business declined by its own bank

    They arrive the same week, they are reading for competence, and they are not shopping on price.

  • Site

    The buyer researching a business acquisition

    A long consideration period, a specific question about what a lender assesses, and very few useful pages to find.

  • Site

    The owner working out whether unsecured lending is real

    An honest page about what lenders look at instead of property is rare enough to earn the enquiry.

Needs you on the phone

  • Phone

    The accountant's client with a funding need

    The accountant sees it coming months before anyone searches, and the referral arrives already framed.

  • Phone

    The business broker's buyer

    That introduction happens inside the sale process and never touches your website.

  • Phone

    The owner in genuine distress

    It needs a careful conversation with the accountant involved, and it should never start with a form.

  • Phone

    Your existing client's second facility

    They ring. The site is a formality by then.

Both columns are real. A plan that pretends the right-hand column does not exist is a plan that will disappoint you in month three.

The check.

What a healthy site looks like for this niche

Common questions.

Websites for business loan brokers, answered

No. Business purpose credit sits outside the National Credit Code, so the duty does not reach it and your aggregator's pre-approved Best Interests Duty wording does not belong on these pages. The Australian Consumer Law still applies to every claim you make, so the standard for honesty is unchanged.

Next step.

Start with what your current site is doing.

Ask for the complimentary website audit. A scored report on speed, structure, conversion and compliance signals, read by a working broker, with the business lending pages read for cost presentation and the credit regime specifically. Read it, use it, and book a call if and when it suits you.

Keep reading.

Where to go from here

The same niche, the other service

Websites for other niches

Written for finance brokers. The residential niches are listed alongside, because most books carry some of both.

One more thing.

Start with what you already have.

Two complimentary audits, both read by a working broker rather than generated and sent. One looks at the account spending your money. One looks at the site the clicks land on. Take either, take both, or skip straight to the start form if you already know.
