RedZed was founded in 2006 with a clear and simple vision to become the preferred lender to Australia’s self-employed. If you’re a small business owner, you’re why we exist.
We know running a business can be complex, your time is precious, and your work intertwines with your life. RedZed understands small businesses and we’re incredibly proud to support a segment of the community that is the engine room of the economy.
Since inception, we have loaned over $9.7 billion to more than 23,000 self-employed Australians and we're only getting started.
Why RedZed
RedZed is a lender committed to supporting and empowering small business owners and the self-employed, a traditionally underserviced market. We’re proud to provide finance solutions that fuel the success of hardworking Aussies and help them achieve their goals.
We back those who back themselves
RedZed specialises in loans for small business owners, and we have a long history of being able to provide finance solutions where the banks aren't willing or able to.
Our processes are fast and fair
Our innovative income verification options cater to the different ways business owners pay themselves and bumps they may have had along the way. We can typically provide a response to loan requests within 24 business hours.
We will treat you as a person
We will individually assess your application on merit which means rather than a computer saying no, there is usually a human finding a way to say yes.
Our application process is different
It’s tailor made for self-employed people looking for a home loan, a commercial property loan or an SMSF loan.
We give back through our charity partnerships
RedZed’s charity partners make a meaningful difference to the lives of those in need and we are proud to support their work through donations, use of office space for events, employee volunteering and our workplace giving program.
Lighthouse Foundation
From the day RedZed was founded, we have supported the Lighthouse Foundation’s important work. Lighthouse provides therapeutic homes, care and tailored support programs to children and young people impacted by long-term neglect, abuse and homelessness.
Opportunity International Australia
Opportunity International Australia is helping end poverty in developing countries one family and one community at a time. RedZed has been supporting their work since 2019.
Royal Children’s Hospital Neuroscience Advanced Clinical Imaging Service (NACIS)
The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) Neuroscience Advanced Clinical Imaging Service (NACIS) was established in January 2020 to help improve surgical outcomes in hundreds of children with drug-refractory epilepsy and brain tumours.
Sponsorships
We proudly support two of Australia’s most pre-eminent sporting clubs, who each embody our core values - Integrity, Pride in Execution, Respect Relationships, and Bold Exploration. Like us, they are dedicated to uplifting the community and turning dreams into reality.
