FAQs
Is this a loan?
No. Gild Finance isn’t a lender — we’re your funding partner. That means we help you identify the right type of finance for your goals, compare options across 80+ lenders, and guide you through the application process.
What types of funding can you help with?
We assist with a wide range of business finance, including working capital, equipment finance, trade finance, acquisition loans, expansion funding, and more. The best option depends on your business needs — that’s what our first consultation is for.
How do I know if I’m eligible?
Eligibility varies by lender and loan type, but we can give you a clear picture fast. After a short discovery call, we’ll advise if funding is likely and what your strongest path forward is — no pressure, no obligation.
What’s the benefit of going through Gild rather than direct to a bank or lender?
Most lenders only show you their products. We compare a broad panel of 80+ lenders and pair that with strategic advice from people who understand your business — so you avoid being underfunded or overcommitted.
Do I pay for this service?
In most cases, we’re paid a commission by the lender you choose — there’s no cost to you. If a fee does apply in your situation, we’ll be upfront and transparent before you proceed.
How long does the process take?
The timeline varies. Some clients secure funding in as little as a few days. Most see results within 2–4 weeks, depending on the complexity of your application and how quickly supporting info can be gathered.
Will this affect my credit score?
No — our discovery process does not involve credit checks. If you choose to proceed with a funding option, we’ll let you know when and how a credit check may apply.
Do I have to commit after the consultation?
Not at all. The first call is simply to understand your needs and see if we can help. If we’re not the right fit or can’t improve your situation, we’ll say so.
What industries do you work with?
We support clients in a range of sectors including manufacturing, wholesale, health, retail, logistics, and professional services — and we understand the nuances of each.
Can you help if I already have funding in place?
Yes. Many of our clients come to us with existing facilities that no longer fit their evolving business. We can assess your current setup and help you explore better alternatives.
Who actually provides the finance or credit assistance?
Credit assistance is provided by WBF Financial Pty Ltd, a Credit Representative of BLSSA Pty Ltd (Australian Credit Licence 391237). While Gild is your primary contact, all credit services are delivered in accordance with ASIC regulations.
