Who Can Benefit from Private Lending?

  • Property Developers – Secure development sites faster and kickstart construction without the delay of traditional loan approvals. For example, some construction loans without presales can help accelerate timelines.

  • Self-Employed & Business Owners – Access working capital quickly without the lengthy paperwork or income proof required by banks—ideal for time-sensitive opportunities.

  • Borrowers with Bad Credit – Even if you’ve faced financial setbacks, you can still qualify for funding. Many lenders look beyond credit scores and focus on asset value and loan purpose.

  • Those Seeking Bridging Loans – Cover short-term gaps between property transactions with funding that can be approved and settled in just days. Learn more about how bridging loans work from NAB.

If you’re exploring alternative finance options, our service page breaks down how it works, who it suits, and how you can apply with confidence.

How our private lending process works

Private lending moves on a different clock to a bank. Here is what happens at each stage, and exactly what gets assessed before your loan settles.

  1. Step 01

    Enquiry

    A short call

    What we need from you

    • Security type and location
    • Loan amount and purpose
    • The deadline you are working to
  2. Step 02

    Indicative terms

    Fast turnaround

    What you receive in writing

    • Indicative rate and LVR
    • Term, fees and drawdown structure
    • Conditions you will need to satisfy
  3. Step 03

    Valuation and documents

    Where the calendar sits

    What gets assessed

    • Independent valuation of the security
    • Title, ownership and any existing debt
    • Evidence supporting your exit
  4. Step 04

    Settlement

    Weeks ahead of a bank

    What happens

    • Loan documents executed
    • Security registered by the lender
    • Funds released to you

Most of the calendar sits with valuation and legal. Everything either side moves in days.

Timeframes are indicative and depend on the security, the lender and how quickly documents are returned. Nothing on this page is an offer of credit.
