Secured Lending

Secured Lending is a private, non-bank lender based in Barangaroo that funds its own loans. We write property-secured finance from $250,000 to $10 million for businesses and investors across the Inner West, often within 24 hours, for business and investment purposes only. When a bank has said no or cannot move fast enough, we assess the deal on the value of your security and a clear plan to repay, not a serviceability score. The Inner West runs on small, owner-driven businesses whose income rarely fits a bank template, and that is the borrower we are built for.

Our Private Lending Products

  • First and second mortgages
  • Bridging finance between property settlements
  • Caveat loans for fast, short-term funding
  • Business-purpose and cash-out loans
  • Refinance of expensive short-term debt
  • ATO and creditor payout finance

Why Use a Private Lender in the Inner West

Banks assess income and serviceability, send every file to a credit committee, and often decline sound borrowers whose income is lumpy or held through a company or trust. We work the other way. Across the Inner West, where a lease, a fit-out, or a settlement can turn on a few days, we look at the property offered as security and how the loan will be repaid, which lets us commit quickly and fund when it counts.

  • Approvals in hours and funding within 24 hours on a clean file
  • Assessed on the value of your security and your exit, not a serviceability test
  • Complex, self-employed, and non-conforming income welcome
  • Company, trust, and SMSF borrowers are no obstacle
  • Short-term, interest-only funding available
  • Business-purpose and cash-out loans welcome

Who We Help

  • Property owners and investors
  • Developers and commercial property owners
  • Mortgage brokers and finance advisers
  • Lawyers and accountants referring clients
  • Business owners who need urgent capital

We lend for business and investment purposes only, never personal home loans or consumer credit.

Our Rates, Terms and Lending Criteria

  • Loan size: $250,000 to $10 million
  • Term: 1 to 24 months, typically 3 to 6
  • Rates: from 9.7% p.a., with every cost set out in the letter of offer
  • LVR: up to 70%, and up to 75% on strong, well-tenured assets
  • Security: a registered first or second mortgage over property
  • Exit strategy: required on every loan, by sale, refinance, or incoming funds

The exit is the single most important factor we assess. A loan is only as sound as the plan to repay it, so we map that first and build the rest of the decision around it. Property held in companies, trusts, or SMSFs is fine, and we take residential, commercial, industrial, and development security.

Private Mortgage Lender in the Inner West

As a private mortgage lender, we write registered first and second mortgages over property and fund every loan from our own capital, so no outside bank sits between you and the decision. We are a non-bank lender working purely for business and investment purposes, with loans from $250,000 to $10 million, and a clean file can settle within 24 hours.

A private mortgage lender moves at a pace a bank cannot, with no serviceability test or credit committee holding up a straightforward deal. We build short-term, interest-only structures around your timeline and welcome borrowers held through a company, trust, or SMSF, along with those a bank has already declined. In the Inner West, where a settlement or a fit-out can turn on a few days, that speed is often what keeps the deal alive.

The borrowers who call us from the Inner West are not chasing the cheapest rate. They have a clean asset, a deadline, and a bank that has gone quiet on lumpy or self-employed income. Put the security and the way out in front of us, and you will have an answer the same day.

Where We Lend Across the Inner West

We lend right across the Inner West, from Newtown and Marrickville to Leichhardt and Balmain and the surrounding suburbs. Wherever your business trades or your security property sits, in the Inner West or anywhere in Australia, we can move quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Often, yes. Many of our Inner West borrowers come to us after a bank has gone quiet or said no, usually because their income is lumpy, self-employed, or held through a company or trust. We assess the property you can offer as security and your plan to repay, not a serviceability score, so a deal a bank would not touch can be funded within 24 hours on a clean file.

Rates start from 9.7% p.a. and are priced to the term, the security, and the risk of the individual deal. Every cost, including any establishment fee, is set out in the letter of offer before you commit, with nothing hidden.

Not with us. Plenty of Inner West borrowers run on irregular, project-by-project income, a builder waiting on a development drawdown, a food producer between large orders, a creative studio billing in stages. A bank reads that as a serviceability problem and stalls. We look at the property you can pledge and the plan to repay, so lumpy cash flow rarely stops a sound deal.

Most commercial, industrial, and warehouse security sits at up to 70% of value, including the converted warehouses and light-industrial buildings around Marrickville and Camperdown. Strong, well-tenanted assets can stretch to 75% depending on structure. Development sites, vacant land, and second mortgages are looked at case by case. Our own valuers price the asset against current Inner West evidence rather than a desktop guess.

Yes. Hospitality and live-music operators along Newtown and Enmore often need to move on a lease, a fit-out, or an equipment upgrade before a bank can act. As long as you hold property to secure the facility and have a clear way to repay or refinance, the funds can go toward a fit-out, expansion, stock, or working capital. Lending is for business and investment only, never a personal loan.

No. We lend for business and investment purposes only, never personal home loans or consumer credit. The loan must be for a genuine commercial or investment purpose and secured by property.

Yes. We are a private mortgage lender writing registered first and second mortgages over Inner West property, for business and investment purposes only. Loans run from $250,000 to $10 million, and a clean file can be funded within 24 hours.

Yes. The Inner West is one pocket of a much wider Sydney book. Our main Sydney page maps our metro coverage, our Private Lender Australia overview gives the national picture, and our Parramatta guide covers the deals we write further west.
