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 when it finally lands. Insurance pays eventually. Wages, suppliers and rent do not wait for it, and this is the facility that covers the distance between the two.
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

"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."
