Things you need to know
These calculations are an estimate only and do not constitute a quote or an offer of finance. They do not take into account fees, charges or other amounts that may be charged to you loan. Monthly interest and monthly principle values shown are an average over the loan term. Interest is calculated monthly on the outstanding loan balance. The interest portion of your monthly payments will decrease as the outstanding loan balance decreases over the life of the loan. These calculations are not an approval. Applications are subject to eligibility criteria and credit approval. The Standard Terms apply to all Small Business Export Loans. The full commercial terms will be set out in our loan offer, if an offer is made. This calculator is not intended to be your sole source of information when making a financial decision. Export Finance Australia recommends that you seek your own independent legal and financial advice when making any decision in relation to a Small Business Export Loan.
