What are Business Finance Options?

Most business loans in Australia use either unsecured or secured business loans. A secured business loan is where a type of security instrument is lodged either on the title of a property or other asset to allow the provision of funds for business use. Various types of secured and unsecured business loans are noted below:

Caveat Loans

Caveat loans are usually combined with a second mortgage to allow the speed of a settlement to be brought down from many weeks to a few days. Caveats are a type of notification lodged on the title of a property to indicate there is an equitable financial interest in the property. Caveats show a financial interest, however, cannot be used to force the sale of the asset.

Unsecured Business Finance

There are various forms of unsecured business finance. As such, the finance doesn't use a registered mortgage or caveat against residential or commercial real estate. However, there may potentially be other forms of security such as:

  • PPSR
  • Unregistered mortgage

Unregistered security allows for the approval to lodge a second mortgage or caveat if you default on your loan agreement. Whereas PPSR security lodges an interest aginst the PPSR record of your business. As such the PPSR registration allows the lender to secure the loan with an interest in your outstanding invoices, and other company assets. However, this would only be exercised under loan default. Keep in mind, a PPSR Security is used with most major lenders for any business loans offered.

First Mortgages For Business

Finance secured by a first mortgage against the title of a property. Lenders offering finance secured by the first mortgage have a priority interest in the recovery of funds in the event of a default. This gives the lender confidence in the provision of funds. With confidence in funding the lenders usually will provide higher loan ratio and longer loans terms to meet a business or personal use. Traditional and also non-traditional lending practices can be applied depending on whether the use of funds is for business or personal use.
