About us

We make financial management simpler for small businesses across Australia. Our multi-award-winning financial technology, specialised customer service and fast decisions on funding options make us Australia's #1 online lender to small business.

Accessing funding for any small business should be easy. Since 2012, we have lent over $3 billion to thousands of happy customers – that's just one way we make business happen.

It's super exciting every day. Always moving. Always something new around the corner. We call it being unstoppable. It's the spirit that propels us forward. And drives us to create a fantastic workplace.

Our Purpose

We exist to unleash the potential of every small business. All small businesses have infinite possibilities. We're here to help them tap into it. Staying in control of finances, managing everyday expenses, and investing in opportunities have never been this easy. And our passionate team of Prosparians are helping small businesses across the country reach their goals every day.

Our values

We’re proud of the culture and environment we’ve created here at Prospa. Our values are a big part of that. Setting the tone for everything we do, they define who we are, how we treat each other and give us a common purpose. As we grow, they remind us of what’s important and why we do what we do. To unleash the potential of small businesses. And each other.

Ways of working: After plenty of experimenting with our ways of working at Prospa - we’ve proven hybrid work is effective, and we firmly believe it’s fundamental to our ongoing success.

Tuesday and Thursdays are our required coordinated office days that we come together for in person connection, collaboration, innovation and building/maintaining social connections.

Connection: We’re very busy bees at Prospa, but we also know it’s important to stop and smell the roses. We get together on a regular basis through a number of meaningful events. These allow us to share updates and celebrate our achievements.

All Hands & Get downs - every first Thursday of the month we come together as a hybrid team for company updates, those joining in-person enjoy a one team lunch, and a themed social Get Down in the afternoon.
