Australia-wide · ABN holders · business purposes only

Business finance, without the runaround.

Straightforward? Apply direct with our partners in a few minutes. A bit outside the box? Send us an email and a real person will look at your situation and help point you to the right partner or option.

For businesses with an ABN, for business purposes only. Finance for personal, household or domestic purposes isn't offered through Circlestone.

Straightforward? Apply direct. A bit unusual? Talk to us first.

If your situation is fairly standard

Trading a while, steady income, clear purpose? Go straight to our partners. LoanOptions.ai handles business, equipment and vehicle loans, and FundTap handles cash flow and invoice finance for trades. It's quick and you'll hear back from them directly.

If it's a little outside the box

Plenty of good businesses don't fit a lender's tick-boxes. If any of these sound like you, flick us an email before you apply:

  • A new ABN, or you've only been trading a few months
  • A patchy or broken trading history
  • A recent tax debt or a payment arrangement with the ATO
  • Seasonal or lumpy income
  • A non-standard asset you want to buy or borrow against
  • You've been declined somewhere else
  • A mix of personal and business needs you're trying to untangle

A real person reads every email. We'll look at your situation and point you to the right partner or option. We can't promise an approval or a rate, as that's always up to the lender, but we'll try to find a path.

How it works

  1. Choose what you need

    Business loan, cash flow, equipment or a business vehicle. Use the calculators to get a feel for repayments.
  2. Apply once

    The application is run by our lending partner LoanOptions.ai, which compares options from its lender panel.
  3. Compare and decide

    LoanOptions.ai or the lender talks you through the options. You decide whether to go ahead – no obligation.

Free to use. We may receive a referral fee from LoanOptions.ai – here's exactly how.

Why start with Circlestone

  • Built for sole traders, tradies and small businesses in every state and territory
  • One application instead of filling in forms lender by lender
  • Plain-English guides and calculators before you apply
  • Business finance only – no personal loans, no home loans
Straight up: Circlestone is a referrer. We don't provide credit assistance or credit advice, and we don't assess whether a loan suits you – LoanOptions.ai and its lenders do that under their own licences, subject to their own criteria, fees and terms. We may receive a referral fee from LoanOptions.ai if your finance settles. Any fees are set by LoanOptions.ai or the lender and shown to you before you sign. See How we get paid.
