Common Funding Uses

Real Scenarios We Help With


These are examples of genuine business-purpose funding scenarios that may be considered by the lender.
All applications are subject to lender assessment and approved real-property security.

Short-term funding may help when a construction business needs to move quickly on a commercial land purchase, settlement or development opportunity.

Land Settlement & Development Opportunities

Bridge temporary cash flow gaps while waiting on progress claims, customer payments or major invoices, helping cover wages, materials and supplier commitments.

Working Capital & Cash Flow Support

Access business capital to purchase equipment, machinery, tools or vehicles needed to keep projects and operations moving.

Equipment & Vehicle Purchases

Short-term funding may provide breathing room while longer-term finance, asset sales or another agreed exit strategy is being completed.

Bridge to Longer-Term Finance

Funding may assist eligible building businesses with genuine business-purpose expenditure associated with display homes, spec builds and other construction opportunities.

Why Some Construction Businesses Consider Alternative Funding Pathways

Traditional bank finance can be a good fit for many businesses, but construction opportunities don’t always work to traditional lending timeframes.


Land settlements, supplier commitments, equipment purchases and temporary cash flow gaps can arise quickly. In some situations, a business may need a funding pathway that can consider the transaction, available property security and proposed exit strategy without waiting through a lengthy traditional finance process.


Private commercial funding can provide an alternative for suitable short-term business requirements where acceptable real-property security is available.


builderloans.com.au helps manage the application process, while the independent private lender assesses each transaction and determines whether it wishes to provide funding.


For builders, trades and construction businesses, having another funding pathway available can provide valuable flexibility when timing matters.

Questions Before You Enquire?

Straight Answers to Some of the Questions We Hear Most Often

  • Is builderloans.com.au the lender?

    No. builderloans.com.au facilitates business loan applications with an independent private lender.


    The lender assesses each application, decides whether it wishes to provide funding and determines the proposed loan amount, security, interest rate, fees and conditions.


    The identity of the lender is clearly disclosed in the Letter of Offer and formal loan documents.

  • How much can I borrow?

    Funding enquiries generally start from $50,000, with transactions commonly considered up to $1 million.


    Larger transactions may also be considered depending on the circumstances, available security and lender assessment.

  • What kind of security is required?

    Funding is secured by acceptable real property.


    Depending on the transaction, this may include residential, commercial or industrial property or land owned by the borrower or guarantor.


    All security is subject to lender assessment and approval.

  • Can residential property be used as security?

    Yes. Residential property may be offered as security for a genuine business-purpose loan.


    Using residential property as security does not, by itself, make the loan a residential or consumer loan. The purpose for which the funding is being provided remains important.
