Bridging finance that keeps your business on track

At Secured Lending, we provide short-term bridging loans designed to help businesses cover urgent expenses, seize opportunities, or manage temporary cash flow issues—without waiting for long approvals or inflexible banking systems. 

What is a Business Bridging Loan?

A bridging loan is a short-term loan that gives your business fast access to capital—usually for 3 to 12 months. It acts as a financial bridge between your current situation and a longer-term solution, such as securing funding, selling an asset, or collecting overdue receivables.

Unlike traditional loans, bridging finance is built for speed, flexibility, and adaptability.

When Can a Short Term Bridging Loan Help?

Business owners turn to bridging loans for situations like:

  • Covering payroll during shortfalls

  • Paying urgent tax debts (ATO)

  • Purchasing equipment or inventory

  • Funding renovations or expansion

  • Settling overdue supplier invoices

  • Managing unexpected expenses or legal disputes

  • Consolidating business debt

  • Buying time during property transitions

  • Recovering from a natural disaster or cyber breach

  • Avoiding foreclosure or insolvency

  • Taking advantage of limited-time business opportunities

If it’s time-sensitive and essential to your operations or growth—chances are bridging finance can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

A bridging loan gives you fast access to capital, typically secured against property or other assets, to cover urgent expenses—such as payroll, supplier invoices, or contract mobilisation—while you wait for incoming revenue, settlement, or longer-term finance.

Yes. Bridging loans are commonly used to refinance maturing debt or to consolidate multiple facilities. This can help prevent default interest charges or free up equity for more efficient debt structuring while you wait for final bank approval or asset sales.

Business bridging loans are usually short-term facilities ranging from 1 to 12 months. Most lenders structure them with flexible exit strategies such as business sale, refinance, or incoming funds. Some may offer interest capitalisation to reduce pressure on monthly repayments.

If your security and documentation are in order, bridging loans can often be settled within 48 to 72 hours. This speed makes them ideal for time-sensitive opportunities, such as securing stock, funding contract deposits, or avoiding late penalties.

We require real property as security, such as commercial, residential, or industrial assets. In some cases, a combination of second mortgage, caveat, or cross-collateralisation may be used, depending on your equity position and urgency.
