Business & commercial

Finance that works as hard as your business

Running a business means dealing with lumpy cash flow, complex tax returns and lenders that don't always understand how you actually earn. We work with specialist commercial lenders who do, and who can move at the pace your business needs.

What you get

Why borrowers choose us

  • Access to specialist commercial and SME lenders
  • Low-doc and alt-doc options for self-employed
  • Tailored structures for premises, equipment and working capital
  • Faster approvals than walking into your bank

Commercial property loans

Buying your own premises, an investment commercial property or a development site? Commercial loans are priced and structured very differently to residential. We compare commercial lenders for sharper rates, sensible loan-to-value ratios and terms that match the property type and your exit plan.

Self-employed home and business loans

Sole traders, contractors and company directors often get knocked back by mainstream banks because their tax returns don't tell the full story. Low-doc and alt-doc products from specialist lenders use BAS statements, accountant letters or business bank statements to assess income, which can change the answer from no to yes.

Equipment and working capital

From machinery and vehicles to overdrafts and invoice finance, we match you with lenders who fund the way your business actually operates. Chattel mortgages, hire purchase, leases and lines of credit each have different tax and cash-flow outcomes, and we'll explain which suits your setup.

Business acquisition and goodwill

Buying an existing business or buying out a partner often requires a blend of secured and unsecured lending. We help structure the deal so the repayments work alongside the business cash flow, not against it.

Trust and company structures

We're comfortable working with discretionary trusts, unit trusts, corporate trustees and complex group structures. We'll coordinate with your accountant to keep the lender's requirements and your tax structure aligned.

How it works

A simple, guided process

1. Free discovery chat

We start with a no-obligation conversation to understand your goals, timeline and current position. No paperwork, no commitment.

2. Strategy and shortlist

We assess your borrowing power, compare suitable products across our lender panel and present a shortlist with clear pros and cons.

3. Application and approval

Once you choose a direction, we package the application properly, liaise with the lender and chase the moving parts so you don't have to.

4. Settlement and beyond

We coordinate with solicitors, valuers and the lender through to settlement, then stay in your corner for future reviews.

Common questions

Good to know

I'm self-employed with one year of returns. Can I still get a loan?

Often yes. Several lenders accept one year of financials or BAS statements, and alt-doc options exist when paperwork is light. We'll know within a quick chat what's realistic.

Are commercial loan rates higher than home loans?

Usually a little higher, but they vary widely. The right lender and structure makes a much bigger difference than the headline rate, especially when you factor in fees, LVR and term.

How much deposit do I need for a commercial property?

Generally 20 to 35%, depending on the property type, tenant profile and your trading history. Owner-occupier purchases often need less than investment-grade commercial.

Can you help with business finance under $100,000?

Yes. We work with SME and fintech lenders for smaller facilities, overdrafts and asset finance, often with much faster turnaround than the major banks.
