What is Asset-Led Lending and Why a Second Mortgage Fits
Asset-led lending means your borrowing capacity is assessed primarily on asset strength — the quality, equity, and marketability of your security property — rather than a deep dive into income or lengthy trading histories. A second mortgage sits behind your first mortgage on the same property. It lets you access usable equity quickly, without refinancing your main bank. That’s ideal when you have a time-sensitive opportunity, an urgent settlement to meet, a tax deadline, or a short-term project that needs immediate capital.
Key Benefits You Can Expect
- Keep your existing bank relationship intact while solving a specific funding need.
- Move quickly. Second mortgages can be structured for same day settlement or funding within 24 hours, subject to standard checks and valuation.
- Flexible use of funds for business purposes: working capital, stock purchases, renovations, equipment upgrades, or bridging loans pending a refinance or sale.
- Outcome-focused. Because lending is assessed primarily on asset strength, the process is clear and direct.
When a Second Mortgage Makes Sense
- Urgent settlement on a purchase where your first mortgagee can’t move in time.
- Bridging loans between transactions where sale proceeds are close but not yet available.
- Short-term growth opportunities: acquire stock at discount, secure a site option, or complete fit-outs to unlock higher rents.
- Emergency needs that are time-critical, where speed and simplicity matter more than long paperwork cycles.
- Consolidating smaller business debts into one secured facility for clarity and control.
How the Structure Typically Works
- We review title, existing first mortgage balance, and your available equity across residential or commercial property.
- We arrange valuation appropriate to the asset and timeline.
- We confirm the total secured position, the priority arrangements, and your intended exit (sale, refinance, or business cash flow).
- Terms are short-term and targeted to your outcome. Pricing is risk-based and can include an interest rate of 11.95%, depending on the scenario, security, and timeframe.
- Depending on equity and asset quality, you may be able to borrow up to $10 million.
- We coordinate documents and settlement so funds are released in line with your deadline.
Practical Considerations to Stay in Control
- Be clear on your exit strategy before you draw down. That drives term and structure.
- Keep your first mortgagee informed where required, and align the security position early.
- Use funds for value-adding purposes with a defined payback: finishing a project, clearing a tax event, or bridging to a refinance.
- Understand total costs over the term, not just the headline rate, so you can measure net benefit with confidence.
