Inside the business loan flow

Working-capital loan leads

Receivables at 60 days, a big order to fund, a seasonal dip: working-capital enquiries are the most common business loan enquiry in Australia, and the easiest to mis-sell if the broker does not ask why the gap exists.

What these enquiries look like

Working-capital enquiries come from trading businesses with a timing problem rather than a debt problem: customers paying slowly, stock to buy ahead of a season, a contract that needs funding before it pays. Slower supplier payment times across 2026 have made the gap wider for many SMEs. The right product depends on the cause: a line of credit, invoice finance, trade finance or a short-term loan are different answers to different gaps.

The enquiry captures the purpose and amount so the broker can match product to cause on the first call, rather than defaulting to an unsecured term loan.

What arrives with the enquiry
Who writes them

Business finance brokers with cash-flow products on panel, commercial brokers who write invoice and trade finance, and mortgage brokers who also write business lending.

How to get them

These enquiries are part of our business loan leads flow; they are not a separate product. Tell us on the call that you want this segment and we set the qualification and targeting to match. Exclusive, SMS-verified, real time, pay per lead, no lock-in contracts, no setup fees. La Vitesse provides lead generation for licensed brokers and does not provide financial, credit or tax advice.

Common questions
Is working capital a separate lead product?
No. It is the largest purpose category inside our business loan flow. Tell us on the call if you want to emphasise it and we adjust the qualification.
Do you capture what the money is for?
Yes. Purpose is captured on every business loan enquiry so you can match product to cause before you call.
Are these secured or unsecured?
Mostly unsecured, sometimes secured against receivables or stock depending on the product the broker places.
Why does the cause of the gap matter?
Because a receivables gap suits invoice finance, a stock gap suits trade or stock finance, and a seasonal gap suits a line of credit. Selling a term loan into all three is how brokers lose clients.
