Secure Lending Solutions

Business Finance

Complex property finance needs a clear structure.

For business owners, investors and developers, the right lender is only part of the decision. The security, contribution, loan term, project risk and exit strategy must work together.

Secure Lending Solutions helps clients prepare and structure commercial property and development transactions before approaching suitable lenders. This creates a clearer case, exposes potential funding gaps earlier and reduces avoidable delays.

Make the transaction lender-ready

A well-prepared proposal explains the asset, the borrower, the funding requirement and the repayment or exit pathway as one connected story.

Commercial and development finance

Commercial Property Finance

Finance to purchase, refinance or release equity from eligible offices, warehouses, retail premises, medical facilities and other commercial property.

Commercial Investment Loans

Finance for income-producing commercial property, considered alongside the property type, lease, tenant profile and investment strategy.

Owner-Occupied Property Loans

Finance for a business purchasing the premises from which it operates, structured around both the property and the operating business.

SMSF Commercial Property Loans

Property Development Finance

Finance built around the project from entry to exit

Development finance may support eligible site acquisition, construction, subdivisions, townhouses, apartments, commercial premises and mixed-use projects.

We assess the total funding requirement, planning position, feasibility, borrower contribution, delivery team and proposed exit before engaging suitable lenders.

What shapes a development finance decision

Expected revenue, land value, construction costs, professional fees, interest, contingency and projected margin.

The status of permits, planning approvals, building approvals and any conditions that may affect delivery.

The cash, land equity or other acceptable contribution being committed to the project.

The experience of the developer, builder and professional team responsible for completing the project.

Any sales or leasing commitments required to support the funding pathway.

How the facility is expected to be repaid through sales, retained investment lending or another supported pathway.

Commercial & Property development finance

Bring the full transaction into view.

Commercial property finance may be assessed on the property type, valuation, lease terms, tenant profile, business income, borrower position, contribution and proposed ownership structure. Development finance adds further layers, including feasibility, approvals, construction arrangements and exit.

The lowest rate is not always the strongest outcome.

Loan-to-value limits, conditions, valuation approach, drawdown controls, fees, flexibility and timing can materially affect whether a facility works for the transaction.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow for a commercial property ?

The available amount depends on the property type, valuation, income, lease profile, loan purpose and lender policy. Acceptable loan-to-value ratios can vary considerably.

How much equity is required for a development ?

The required contribution varies with the project, planning status, borrower experience, presales, lender and overall risk. Depending on the lender, equity may include cash or land equity.

Can site acquisition and construction be financed together ?

Potentially. Some transactions can include both stages within one funding pathway, while others may require separate facilities or milestones.

Are presales always required ?

No. Requirements vary according to the lender, location, project type, amount, borrower experience and exit strategy. Different leverage, pricing or conditions may apply where presales are reduced or not required.

Can specialist or private funding be considered ?

Potentially, where it is suitable for the transaction. The cost, term, security requirements and exit strategy should be carefully assessed before proceeding.

Discuss the transaction before approaching a lender.

An early assessment can reveal funding gaps, documentation requirements and lender concerns before they
delay the opportunity.
