Post-EOFY Finance: Why July Is the Smartest Time to Apply
Fresh financials. Flexible lenders. Faster approvals.
Here’s why early in the financial year is the best time to apply for business finance.
A New Financial Year = New Opportunities
If you’re planning to invest in equipment, vehicles, or working capital, applying for finance in July can give you a head start.
Why? Because you’re armed with fresh numbers, and lenders are more responsive early in the financial year.
Your Financials Are Fresh and Ready
At this time of year:
Your FY23–24 financials are complete or in final stages
You’re working with your accountant to wrap up reports
Lenders can make faster decisions with up-to-date data
It’s the perfect moment to apply while everything is still recent and accessible.
Lenders Are More Flexible in July
Post-EOFY, lenders are looking to kickstart their new-year lending goals. That often means:
Faster approvals
Competitive rates
More flexible terms
And as brokers, we know exactly which lenders are ready to move—and how to match them with your needs.
Beat the Rush Before Peak Season
Many business owners wait until March–June to sort their funding.
By then, lenders are busier and policies can tighten.
**Applying now puts you ahead of the rush—**with more options and faster results.
What You Might Need
Every application is different, but here’s a general list to prepare:
FY23–24 Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet
Last 6 months of bank statements
Recent tax returns and ATO portals
BAS for the last 2 quarters
Asset invoice or quote (if buying equipment or vehicles)
Don’t stress—you might not need all of these. Your Thrift Capital broker will guide you through exactly what’s required.
