What we can help with

Use your property to fund the business

  • Private first mortgages
  • Second mortgages
  • Caveat loans
  • Bridging finance
  • Equity release for a business purpose
  • Refinancing business or ATO debt against property

What lenders usually look at

  • Equity in residential, commercial or vacant land
  • A genuine business purpose for the funds
  • An exit plan: how the loan will be repaid or refinanced
  • Credit history, which matters less here than with a bank

Every lender has its own rules. Your broker will tell you which lenders are likely to suit before anything is lodged.

Business purpose only. Loans secured by your home for personal purposes fall under consumer credit law and go through a different process. Your broker will check the purpose with you before anything is lodged.
Questions

Property-backed loans: common questions

Why do private loans cost more?

Private lenders take on deals the banks won't, so rates and fees are higher and terms are shorter, usually 3 to 24 months. They work best as a bridge to a sale, a refinance or a clear payout date.

Can I get a private loan with bad credit?

Private lenders focus mainly on the property and the exit plan. Credit history still matters, and your broker will talk it through with you.

How quickly can it settle?

Often within two to four weeks, depending on valuation and legal work. Caveat loans can sometimes settle faster.

Can I borrow against my home for the business?

Yes, if the funds are for a business purpose. Lenders and brokers will ask you to confirm the purpose in writing.
