SME Guarantee Scheme

As part of its Covid-19 support package, the Federal Government has introduced the Coronavirus Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Guarantee.

The aim of the $40 billion Scheme is to enable SME’s to borrow up to $250,000 to assist with cashflow needs (e.g. rent, staff costs) during the Coronavirus outbreak.

Lenders will provide small and medium businesses (including sole traders and not-for-profits) new of up to $250,000 will be unsecured and will be supported by a 50% guarantee from the Government.

A panel of lenders is currently being assembled and is expected to include 29 banks and 5 non-bank lenders. 

Banks such as NAB and CBA and lenders such as Liberty, Prospa and Moula are named as participants of the Scheme.
