A statutory demand can put you on a very short clock. Even if your underlying business is sound, a demand can force decisions fast, often before you’ve had time to unlock cash tied up in property, receivables, or a pending sale. That’s where bridging finance for statutory demands can be the difference between staying in control and being forced into reactive steps. Contact us today if you need urgent support.
At Secured Lending, we’ve advised and assisted borrowers dealing with a statutory demand, and we understand the urgency and the need for clear, practical options. We have also facilitated over 500 strategic commercial loans to bridge the gap. Secured Lending can help you move fast with a bridging loan for statutory demands. Assess your scenario today.
What a bridging loan does in a statutory demand situation
A bridging loan is short-term funding designed to “bridge” a timing gap. In the context of a statutory demand, the gap is usually between:
- when you need to pay (or reach a settlement outcome), and
- when your liquidity event actually lands (sale proceeds, refinance, business cash release, settlement on a property transaction).
The goal is simple: give you time and breathing room to deal with the demand properly, without being cornered into fire-sale decisions.
Why bridging finance can be effective for statutory demands
When you’re facing a statutory demand, speed and certainty matter. A bridging loan can help by:
- Keeping you in control of timelines. You’re not waiting on slower processes while the clock runs.
- Protecting asset value. You avoid rushed sales that can discount value significantly.
- Reducing disruption. You can preserve focus on operations while the demand is resolved.
- Supporting a clean resolution. You may be able to negotiate from a stronger position when funds are ready to deploy.
- Providing a clear exit path. The loan can be repaid from a planned refinance or asset sale, rather than ongoing cash flow strain.
Done properly, bridging finance is not a “band-aid”. It’s a structured, time-limited tool to resolve an urgent problem while you execute a sensible next step.
The practical reality with statutory demand funding
This is not the time for drawn-out back-and-forth. The demand creates urgency, and urgency needs a lender who can assess security, confirm a workable exit, and move.
Bridging finance can be especially relevant when you have strong asset backing but need an emergency funding solution because:
- cash is temporarily tied up in property or settlement timing
- a refinance is viable but not ready in time
- you’re selling an asset but completion is weeks away
- you need an urgent settlement outcome to avoid escalation
This is where a secured business loan can be used as a short-term circuit breaker—fast, direct, and structured around the reality of your timeline.
How Secured Lending helps you resolve a statutory demand fast
When you come to Secured Lending with a statutory demand scenario, we focus on removing friction and getting to a clear answer quickly. You don’t need vague maybes. You need a workable plan and a lender who can execute.
We structure the deal around speed and certainty
We start with what matters most: the security, the timeline, and your exit strategy. If the security stacks up and the exit is clear, we can move quickly to approval and settlement. The objective is to support urgent settlement without compromising sensible lending fundamentals.
We facilitate urgent funding when timing is tight
In statutory demand situations, timeframes can be unforgiving. We regularly coordinate outcomes where a fast decision is needed, including scenarios requiring fast, same day settlement where feasible, and funding within 24 hours for suitable applications. The key is having the right documents ready and a clear path to repayment.
We keep the process direct
You’re not here for a long educational journey. You’re here to solve a problem. We review the property position, confirm the amount required, and align the bridging term to your exit. If it works, we move. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you quickly so you can take the next best option.
We can fund at meaningful levels
Statutory demands can range from manageable to significant. We can structure facilities where you can borrow up to $10million, depending on the property and overall scenario.
We’re transparent on cost and use-case
Bridging finance is short-term money. It’s priced for speed and flexibility, not for long multi-year terms. Depending on the deal, we can offer an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a. The right question is not just “what’s the rate?”, but “does this facility reliably get you to your exit, on time, with minimum disruption?”
We’re used to complex, time-sensitive settlements
We’ve facilitated over $500m of loans for urgent settlement needs and bridging scenarios. That experience matters when the details are moving quickly and you need coordination across parties (you, your solicitor, potentially an accountant, and other stakeholders). We’re used to acting with urgency without losing discipline.
Private Lender options that move quickly
When banks can’t meet your timing, a private lender urgent solution can be the practical alternative. Secured Lending is a Private Lender in Australia and a non-bank lender. We operate Australia wide, including Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, Canberra. If you need emergency funding to resolve a statutory demand, our role is to assess your security, confirm the pathway to repay the bridging loan, and arrange the funding with speed and clarity.

- Rapid scenario review against property security
- Clear confirmation of feasibility and indicative terms
- Coordination for valuation and documentation where required
- A structured plan to meet the statutory demand timeline
- A bridging term that matches your exit event
This is exactly the moment where being organised, decisive, and backed by the right lender matters.
