Emergency Business Funding When You Have Bad Credit
An emergency and a damaged credit file usually arrive in the same month, which is exactly when the banks stop returning calls. We fund from our own money against the equity in your property, to 70% LVR, from 9.95% p.a. You do not need a polished application to start. Title details, the amount you need, and how the loan gets repaid is enough.
Industries We Service
Emergency business loans for pubs, hotels and venues

An emergency business loan funds the recovery when something has already gone wrong: a fire, a flood, a failed cool room, a kitchen that cannot open. We lend against the venue, or a director's property where the venue is leasehold.
It is repaid from the trade that resumes once the doors reopen, or by an insurance settlement once the claim is paid. Insurance pays eventually. Wages, suppliers and rent do not wait for it, and this is the facility that covers the gap until the insurer pays.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Reopen after a fire, a flood, or a failed cool room
- Cover wages and suppliers while the doors are shut
- Fund a repair the insurer has not yet approved
- Bridge to an insurance settlement that has not landed
- Replace equipment that has failed mid-service
- Keep staff on the books through a forced closure
Emergency business loans for builders and contractors

An emergency business loan funds the response when a job goes wrong: a collapse, a defect, a site shut down, or a subcontractor who has walked off. We lend against the yard, the office or a director's property.
It is repaid by the progress payment, practical completion, or the sale of the security. A stopped site costs money every day it is stopped, and the cost of restarting it rarely waits for a claim to be resolved.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Restart a site that has been shut down
- Cover a rectification or defect the client will not fund
- Replace a subcontractor who has walked off the job
- Fund a plant failure that has stopped the programme
- Cover liquidated damages while a dispute runs
- Bridge to a contract or insurance claim being resolved
Emergency business loans for manufacturers

An emergency business loan funds the response when the plant stops: a machine failure, a fire, a contamination, or a supplier who has collapsed mid-order. We lend against the factory or a director's property.
It is repaid when production resumes and customers pay, or by an insurance settlement. Every day a line is down is an order running late, and the cost of restarting it is almost never budgeted for.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Replace machinery that has failed and stopped the line
- Re-source materials when a supplier collapses mid-order
- Fund a clean-up after a fire or a contamination
- Cover penalties on an order that is now running late
- Keep skilled staff on the books through a shutdown
- Bridge to an insurer that has not yet paid out
Emergency business loans for transport and warehousing operators

An emergency business loan funds the response when the fleet is off the road: a major accident, an engine failure, a depot fire, or a compliance suspension. We lend against the depot, the warehouse or a director's property.
It is repaid from contract receipts once the fleet is running, or by an insurance settlement. A truck that is not moving is not earning, and a contract does not pause because a vehicle is in a workshop.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Replace a vehicle written off in an accident
- Fund a major engine or trailer failure
- Cover a compliance issue that has grounded part of the fleet
- Hire replacement vehicles to keep a contract running
- Cover penalties on a contract you cannot currently service
- Bridge to an insurer that is still assessing the claim
Emergency business loans for retailers

An emergency business loan funds the response when trade stops: a flood, a break-in, a fire, or a fit-out destroyed. We lend against a director's home or investment property, because most retailers lease their space.
It is repaid from trade once the shop reopens, or by an insurance settlement. A closed shop still pays rent, and a season missed is not a season you get back.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Reopen after a fire, a flood, or a break-in
- Replace stock that has been destroyed or stolen
- Cover rent and wages while the doors are shut
- Refit a store before the trading period it depends on
- Replace point of sale or refrigeration that has failed
- Bridge to an insurer that has not yet settled
Emergency business loans for wholesalers and importers

An emergency business loan funds the response when stock or a customer is lost: a warehouse fire, a shipment destroyed, a rejected consignment, or a major debtor that has gone under. We lend against the warehouse or a director's property.
It is repaid as replacement stock sells through, or by an insurance or trade credit settlement. Stock that is gone still has to be paid for, and the customers waiting for it do not wait long.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Replace stock lost to a fire, a flood, or a rejected consignment
- Absorb a major debtor that has gone into administration
- Fund a re-order when a shipment is destroyed in transit
- Keep supplying customers while the stock position is rebuilt
- Cover a supplier who has withdrawn terms without notice
- Bridge to a trade credit insurer that has not yet paid
Emergency business loans for technology companies

An emergency business loan funds the response to an incident that stops the company trading normally: a ransomware attack, a data breach and the notifications that follow it, an outage that triggers service credits, or a key customer failing and taking a quarter of the revenue with it.
It is repaid from revenue once trading is stable, by an insurer once a cyber claim is assessed, or by a refinance. The response cannot wait for the claim, and the company cannot stop serving customers while it works out how to pay for it.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Fund incident response and forensics after a ransomware attack
- Cover the notification and remediation costs after a data breach
- Bridge to a cyber insurer while the claim is assessed
- Replace revenue lost when a major customer fails
- Pay service credits triggered by an outage against an SLA
- Keep paying the engineering team through a disruption
Emergency business loans for practices and professional firms

An emergency business loan funds the response when a practice is disrupted: a partner's sudden departure or death, a professional claim, a data breach, or premises made unusable. We lend against a director's home or investment property.
It is repaid from practice cash flow, or by a refinance once the position is stable. A practice cannot stop seeing clients while it works out how to pay for the disruption.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Fund a partner's sudden departure, illness, or death
- Cover an excess or a shortfall on a professional claim
- Respond to a data breach and the costs that follow it
- Relocate when premises are suddenly unusable
- Keep paying staff and rent through a disruption
- Bridge to an insurer while a claim is assessed
Emergency business loans for property developers

An emergency business loan funds the response when a project is derailed: a builder in administration, a cost blowout, a stop-work order, or a senior lender that has pulled out. We lend against the site, completed stock, or another property in the portfolio.
It is repaid when the stock settles, or when the project is refinanced. A stalled project accrues interest, rates and holding costs whether or not anyone is working on it.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Replace a builder that has gone into administration
- Cover a cost blowout the senior facility will not fund
- Fund holding costs while a stop-work order is resolved
- Respond to a senior lender that has withdrawn
- Complete works far enough to reach a settlement
- Bridge to a contract claim that is still being argued
Emergency business loans for property investors

An emergency business loan funds the response when a property or a tenant fails: a fire, a major defect, a tenant that has collapsed, or a lender that has moved to enforcement. We lend against the property or the wider portfolio.
It is repaid when the property sells, or when the position is refinanced. Enforcement moves faster than most owners expect, and the cost of stopping it is almost always less than the cost of letting it run.
An emergency business loan can help you:
- Stop enforcement action before a property is sold up
- Fund urgent repairs that have made a property untenantable
- Cover a shortfall when a major tenant collapses
- Rectify a defect or a compliance order on a building
- Cover holding costs through an unexpected vacancy
- Bridge to an insurer while a building claim is assessed
"When a business is in a cash flow crisis, the asset is what carries the deal, and that takes a lot of the pressure off. Where there is sufficient equity in the property and the LVR supports the facility, we can have funds moving within 24 hours. You do not need a polished application to come to us; with the title details, the loan amount, and a repayment plan, we can get started."
