What Is a Caveat Loan?
A caveat loan is a short-term business loan secured by your property. It lets you access capital without refinancing your existing mortgage. Instead, a caveat is lodged on your title, which gives the lender security without affecting your first mortgage.
You can borrow against the equity in a residential, commercial, or investment property, then use the funds however your business needs.
Why Choose a Caveat Loan?
- •Fast Settlement: Most loans are funded within 24 to 48 hours, ideal for urgent business needs
- •Flexible Use: No restrictions on how you use the funds: cash flow, tax debt, equipment, or anything else
- •Minimal Paperwork: No full credit assessments, long delays, or drawn-out applications
- •Keep Your Existing Mortgage: Your first mortgage stays in place; we simply add a caveat on the title
Common Use Cases
Businesses choose caveat loans when time, flexibility, and access to equity matter most:
- •Cover payroll or urgent supplier invoices
- •Bridge cash flow gaps caused by late-paying clients
- •Settle outstanding ATO tax debts
- •Purchase equipment or stock immediately
- •Fund a business expansion or acquisition
- •Manage emergency business operating expenses
- •Avoid foreclosure or refinance short-term debt
- •Seize limited-time opportunities that banks can't fund fast enough
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify, you'll need:
- •Property with sufficient equity (residential or commercial)
- •A clear business purpose for the funds
- •The ability to repay the loan within the short term

Industries We Service
Caveat loans for builders and contractors
A caveat loan is registered against your title rather than settled as a mortgage, which is why it can be in place in hours rather than weeks. The existing mortgage is not touched and does not need to be refinanced.
It is repaid when the progress payment lands, the job completes, or a longer facility takes over. This is the product for the deadline measured in days, not for a funding need that can wait for a settlement.
A caveat loan can help you:
- Meet a payroll that falls due before a progress claim is paid
- Pay a supplier who has stopped delivering to the site
- Cover a bond or security deposit due before a job starts
- Fund the deposit on a contract that will not be held open
- Act without refinancing or disturbing the existing mortgage
- Have funds in place in as little as 24 hours

"Caveat lending is one of the fastest tools in private finance, and it is well suited to genuinely urgent situations. By registering an interest against the title, we can move capital quickly based on the equity position. Where the property supports it and there is a clear repayment path, settlement within 24 hours is realistic, and we are always happy to help work out whether it is the right fit."
