Buying into a franchise is a strategic move. You’re not just investing in a business—you’re buying into a proven system, a recognised brand, and a ready-made customer base. But even with a strong business case, the path to franchise ownership often comes down to one thing: access to fast, reliable funding. That’s where a secured loan for franchise purchase can make all the difference. Assess your scenario today.
Why Use a Secured Loan for Franchise Purchase?
A secured loan is a straightforward way to unlock the capital you need to purchase a franchise. By leveraging your residential or commercial property as collateral, you can access larger loan amounts, lower interest rates, and more flexible terms than unsecured options. This approach gives you the confidence to negotiate, settle, and launch your franchise with certainty.
- Fast access to funds: When you’re up against a settlement deadline, speed matters. With Secured Lending, you can secure funding within 24 hours—sometimes even same day settlement.
- Certainty and flexibility: Secured business loans are structured around your needs, not a rigid bank formula. You can borrow what you need, for as long as you need, with clear repayment terms.
- Competitive rates: Using property as security means you’ll typically pay less in interest, keeping more capital in your business.
- Larger loan amounts: Secured loans allow you to access higher funding limits, so you can cover the full franchise purchase price, fit-out costs, stock, and working capital.
- Confidence to act: With funding confirmed, you can negotiate with the franchisor and vendors from a position of strength.

Bridging Loans for Franchise Settlement
Timing is everything in a franchise purchase. Sometimes, you need to settle before your existing assets are liquidated, or before traditional bank finance is finalised. That’s where bridging loans come in.
A bridging loan is a short-term, secured facility that covers the gap between your purchase deadline and the arrival of longer-term funding. With Secured Lending, you can access bridging loans secured against your residential or commercial property, giving you the flexibility to settle on your franchise quickly and without stress.
Bridging loans are particularly useful if you’re:
- Waiting for the sale of another property
- Finalising a bank loan that’s taking longer than expected
- Managing multiple transactions at once
With our experience, you can move forward with confidence, knowing your funding is locked in.
Why Choose a Private Lender?
Traditional banks can be slow, rigid, and risk-averse—especially when it comes to franchise purchases. As a Private Lender in Australia, Secured Lending operates nationwide: Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, and Canberra. We’re a non-bank commercial lender, which means we’re not bound by the same red tape as the big banks.

- Personalised service: You deal directly with decision-makers who understand business and property.
- Flexible solutions: We can structure second mortgage, bridging loans, and secured business loans to suit your needs.
