Australian business owners can now search 175 lenders inside Claude and ChatGPT

MELBOURNE, 12 November 2026 — Splendid Finance, an Australian business finance broker and AI loan origination platform, has launched the Australian Business Loan Finder, a free tool that lets business owners search the published lending criteria of 175 Australian business lenders directly inside Claude and ChatGPT.

A business owner can describe what they need in plain English, such as how much they want to borrow, what it's for, how long they've been trading and whether they can offer property as security. The assistant then returns a shortlist of lenders whose published minimums appear to fit, with a link to each lender's full profile.

The search covers business loans, lines of credit, invoice finance, asset and equipment finance and other business finance types. It matches the specific product that fits the request, not just the lender, drawing on structured criteria for more than 550 lending products, including loan amounts, terms, minimum time trading, minimum revenue and security requirements.

The tool is built for the early stage of a business owner's research, before they speak to a bank, a lender or a broker. It does not quote interest rates, assess credit or promise approval. Results are indicative and based only on each lender's published criteria. Business owners who want actual quotes can request a callback from Splendid Finance, but nothing is shared unless they choose to.

The tool is private by design. Business owners can search without giving their name, contact details or any other personal information. The tool only sees the search details the assistant sends it, such as the loan amount and finance type, never the conversation itself, and it stores no personal information.

“Business owners are already asking AI assistants about finance, but the answers are often general and don't reflect what individual lenders actually require. We wanted them to get answers grounded in real Australian lending criteria, right where they're asking the question. It's free, and it's built to inform, not to sell.”

“Most business owners only know their own bank, so they don't realise how many non-bank and private lenders there are, or how different their criteria can be. Seeing which lenders might fit before you apply helps you ask better questions, whether you go direct or work with a broker.”
