? What does Uniko Capital do?

Uniko Capital is an Australian finance partner helping individuals, families, and businesses with home loans, commercial finance, business loans, asset finance, car loans, and truck finance.

? How can a mortgage broker help me in Australia?

A mortgage broker can understand your goals, compare suitable lender options, explain loan features and costs, and help manage the application process. Final approval remains subject to the selected lender's assessment.

? Can Uniko Capital help with home loans in Australia?

Yes. We help eligible borrowers explore home loan options for first homes, established properties, refinancing, investment purposes, and other residential lending needs across Australia.

? How much deposit do I need to buy a home in Australia?

The deposit depends on the property, lender, loan type, income, expenses, and overall application strength. A 20% deposit is a common savings target, but some eligible borrowers may have other options. Government schemes and lender policies also vary.

? What is home loan pre-approval?

Pre-approval is an initial indication of how much a lender may be prepared to lend after reviewing your financial information. It is not final approval or a guarantee, and it usually has a limited validity period.

? What documents are needed for a home loan application?

Common documents include identification, income evidence, bank statements, details of assets and liabilities, deposit evidence, and information about existing loans. Self-employed applicants may also need business financials, tax returns, BAS, and accountant details.

? Can self-employed borrowers get a home loan?

Self-employed applicants may have home loan options, including solutions designed for business owners with different income structures. Lenders will assess income, business performance, financial records, liabilities, and repayment capacity.

? Can I refinance my home loan through Uniko Capital?

Yes. We can review your current interest rate, repayments, loan structure, fees, equity position, and financial objectives to help you assess whether refinancing may be suitable. Switching costs and lender approval should always be considered.

? What is commercial finance?

Commercial finance supports business and property objectives such as commercial property purchases, refinancing, working capital, business expansion, equipment purchases, and other eligible business purposes.

? Can Uniko Capital help first home buyers?

Yes. We can help first home buyers understand borrowing capacity, deposit requirements, upfront costs, pre-approval, loan features, and the steps involved before making an offer. Eligibility for government schemes depends on current rules.

? What types of business loans can Uniko Capital arrange?

Depending on your circumstances, business finance may support working capital, refinancing, business expansion, commercial property, equipment, vehicles, and other approved business purposes. Loan structure and eligibility vary by lender.

? Can I get car, truck, equipment, or asset finance?

We can help eligible applicants explore finance for cars, trucks, equipment, machinery, and other business assets. The right option depends on the asset, applicant, loan purpose, term, deposit, and lender criteria.

? What should I do if my bank declined my loan?

A declined application does not always mean you have no options. We can help review the reasons, income, expenses, credit history, documentation, deposit, and loan structure before considering suitable alternatives. Approval is never guaranteed.

? How long does a home or business loan take to approve?

Timeframes depend on the lender, loan type, property or asset, application complexity, valuations, and whether all required documents are provided. Complete and accurate information can help reduce avoidable delays.

? What is the difference between fixed and variable home loan rates?

A fixed rate stays unchanged for an agreed period, while a variable rate can move with market and lender changes. Each option has different repayment, flexibility, break-cost, and budgeting considerations.

? What is LVR and why does it matter?

LVR means loan-to-value ratio. It compares the loan amount with the property's value and can influence lender policy, pricing, deposit requirements, and whether lenders mortgage insurance may apply.

? Can you help with low-doc or alternative-doc business finance?

Some lenders offer alternative documentation pathways for eligible self-employed or business applicants. Requirements, pricing, loan limits, and verification standards vary, so your situation must be assessed individually.
