Secured Lending is a non-bank commercial private lender based in Barangaroo, Sydney, funding clients across Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, and select regional areas. We provide property-backed commercial loans with fast approvals, minimal paperwork, and settlement in as little as 24–72 hours for qualifying deals.

What Is a Non-Bank Commercial Lender?

A non-bank commercial lender operates outside the traditional banking system. We assess the deal based on property security, equity position, loan purpose, exit strategy, and timing requirements. This approach gives borrowers more flexibility, faster decision-making, and higher approval likelihood — especially in urgent or complex situations where banks say no.

Why Businesses Work With a Non-Bank Commercial Lender

  • Speed — banks can take weeks or months; we approve and settle fast, often within 24–72 hours
  • Flexibility — no rigid rules, credit scoring models, or years of financials required; if the security is strong and the exit strategy makes sense, we can usually fund the deal
  • Practical lending — our loans are structured for real-world scenarios: bridging, settlements, cash flow gaps, tax obligations, supplier payments, development requirements, and urgent opportunities

Commercial Loans We Offer

  • Commercial business loans and working capital facilities
  • First mortgages and second mortgages
  • Caveat loans
  • Short-term commercial bridging loans
  • Commercial property loans
  • Developer and investor funding (selected scenarios)

A non-bank commercial lender for builders and contractors

Construction

A serviceability model reads a builder's income as lumpy and therefore risky. It is neither. It is a progress claim cycle, and the money is contracted, certified and owed. As a non-bank lender we assess the security and the exit rather than a twelve month average of an income that was never meant to be even.

We lend our own funds under our own credit authority, so a construction file does not have to survive a policy written for salaried borrowers. Retentions, variations and a slow certifier are things we can read, and they are the reason a bank file often stalls.

A non-bank commercial lender can help you:

  • Be assessed on a certified claim rather than a serviceability average
  • Borrow when two lean quarters sit inside an otherwise strong year
  • Have retentions and variations understood rather than penalised
  • Get an answer from the people who make the credit decision
  • Avoid a policy written for borrowers with even monthly income
  • Fund a job that a credit committee would still be reviewing

Private lending for Construction

"Non-bank commercial lending comes down to credit judgement rather than rigid policy, and that is where we can add real value. On the right asset we can hold a higher LVR position, structure interest capitalisation where cash flow needs it, and settle within the same week when timing is tight. That flexibility is hard to find inside a standard bank credit model, and it is what we are built for."

Frequently Asked Questions

Non-bank lenders don't rely on rigid credit scoring or long approval pipelines. Decisions are based on security, equity, loan purpose, timeline, and exit strategy — allowing deals that banks can't or won't consider.

Yes. Non-bank lenders place more weight on asset strength than historical paperwork. If the property security and exit strategy stack up, past credit issues rarely block approval.

Pricing reflects speed, flexibility, and risk. Rates are usually higher than banks, but the trade-off is immediate access to capital when the timing is critical, or when banks can't meet the borrower's situation.

They're usually 1–24 months, designed to bridge a timing gap — refinancing, settlements, development milestones, or cash flow recovery. The aim is to solve the short-term problem, then exit back to a bank or liquidity event.

Yes. We regularly step in for urgent refinances, including expiring bank terms, default notices, arrears pressure, and forced-sale situations. We act fast to prevent borrowers from losing control of their assets.

Our loans are interest-only, often paid in advance or capitalised to reduce cash-flow pressure. This structure helps businesses stabilise operations without taking on large monthly commitments.

No. While headquartered in Barangaroo, Sydney, we fund borrowers across Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, and surrounding metro and regional areas. We're a national non-bank commercial lender.
