Why Act Now

ATO enforcement escalates fast. A private lender can stop it.

Secured Lending team

Directors Penalty Notice — personal liability

A DPN makes company directors personally liable for PAYG and super debts. A lockdown DPN has no grace period. Once issued, paying off the company debt no longer removes personal liability. Act before it becomes personal.

Statutory demand — 21 days to respond

Ignore a statutory demand and the ATO can apply to wind up your company. The 21-day window is not flexible. We can often settle a bridging loan within that timeframe.

Wind-up proceedings go on the public record

Once an ATO wind-up application is filed, it is publicly visible — banks freeze accounts, suppliers withdraw credit, and counterparties walk. Preventing the filing is far easier than reversing it.

Penalties and interest compound daily

ATO general interest charge and shortfall penalties continue to accrue. Every week of delay increases the total liability — and reduces the window for a clean resolution.

What We Fund

ATO debt situations we resolve every week.

If your situation isn't listed, call us. We've seen most ATO enforcement scenarios. All loans are for business purposes, secured against real property.

Directors Penalty Notice (DPN)

Act before personal liability attaches. We can settle a bridging loan to clear PAYG and super debt before a lockdown DPN is issued.

Statutory demand response

Working against the 21-day window? We can often settle within that timeframe — stopping wind-up proceedings before they begin.

ATO wind-up proceedings

If the ATO has filed a wind-up application, time is critical. We work fast to provide the funds needed to have proceedings discontinued.

Accumulated GST / PAYG debt

Refinance years of accumulated tax liabilities into a single secured facility with a structured, planned repayment exit.

Cashflow gap causing arrears

Short-term funding to bring ATO accounts current — before interest and penalties compound further.

Post-settlement restructure bridge

Bridge funding while a longer-term refinance or asset sale is finalised — giving the business breathing room to restructure properly.

Call 1300 795 175

It is a short-term secured business loan used to pay off a company's outstanding ATO liability — GST, PAYG withholding, income tax, or a combination. The loan is secured against property (residential, commercial, or industrial) owned by the business or its directors. Once the ATO debt is cleared, the business repays the lender on agreed terms — typically 1 to 24 months.

A DPN is a formal notice from the ATO that makes company directors personally liable for unpaid PAYG withholding and superannuation guarantee charge. Once issued, the ATO can pursue directors individually — even after the company is wound up. There are two types: a standard DPN (21-day window to act) and a lockdown DPN (no grace period — personal liability attaches immediately). Acting before a lockdown DPN is issued is critical.

A statutory demand is a formal legal notice under the Corporations Act requiring a company to pay an undisputed debt within 21 days. If the company does not pay, reach a settlement, or apply to have the demand set aside, the ATO can apply to a court to wind up the company. Secured Lending can often settle a bridging loan within that 21-day window.

Yes. The ATO is one of Australia's most active creditors in court wind-up proceedings. Once a wind-up application is filed, it is a matter of public record and can trigger creditor action, freeze accounts, and destroy the business's trading relationships — even before a court makes an order. Moving quickly is essential.

Most clean deals — where property security and exit strategy are clear — settle within 24 to 72 hours of application. If you are working against a statutory demand or DPN deadline, tell us upfront and we will prioritise accordingly.

We lend against residential, commercial, and industrial property. The security can be owned by the company or by a director personally. We assess the security value and your exit strategy — not trading history or credit scores.

Usually no. Because our loans are secured against property and written for business purposes, our assessment focuses on security value and a clear exit — not your ATO lodgement history. This is why we can move faster than a bank.

A lending specialist (not a call centre) will call you within business hours to discuss your situation. If it fits our criteria, you'll receive an indicative offer the same day. Given the urgency of most ATO debt situations, we treat these enquiries as high priority.

Loans offered by Secured Lending are strictly for business purposes only. Applications are subject to credit assessment, property valuation, and satisfactory security. Terms, fees and rates vary by deal. Indicative rates from 9.7% p.a., subject to security type, LVR and exit strategy.
