Prospa’s Line of Credit has now launched to offer a convenient and flexible source of funds of up to $150,000 over a 24-month term. 

The new product is the perfect solution for small businesses seeking to cover cashflow gaps that may occur unexpectedly. The ongoing access to funds allows business owners to draw down on the Line of Credit so they can pay staff, buy stock, or manage late payments. The loans have a renewable 24-month term, with interest-only paid when the funds are used by the business.

The application process takes as little as 10 minutes, with fast decisions to make funding available within 24 hours of approval.
