Funding for
Restructure and turnaround funding
Creditors are pushing, there is an ATO balance and a supplier or two on stop — but the business is sound and you have a real plan to trade through: a sale settling, a refinance landing, a turnaround taking hold. If the capital is tied up in property your company or trust already owns, releasing some of that equity can buy the time to see the plan out — without refinancing your existing mortgage, and assessed on the asset and the exit rather than full financials.
Indicative only — subject to assessment. Placeholder figures.
When pressure is mounting but the business is still viable
Creditors are chasing, there is an ATO balance and a supplier or two has gone on stop — but the business itself is sound, and there is a real plan to come good. A property is settling. A refinance is in train. A turnaround is taking hold and just needs a few months to show in the numbers. The problem is timing: the capital is tied up in property your company or trust already owns, and a bank cannot restructure a facility inside the window the pressure is running to.
How short-term funding buys the time
Releasing equity from property you already own can hold the position while the plan plays out. A second mortgage sits behind your existing mortgage — or a caveat, where a deadline is only days away and speed matters more than term — so there is no refinance of your first facility and no change to its rate. The funds clear the immediate pressure; the facility is repaid when the sale settles, the refinance completes, or trading recovers. It is assessed on the security and the exit, not on full financials, which is what lets it move in days rather than weeks.
When this works — and when to restructure first
This suits a genuine, time-limited turnaround: a viable business, real equity, a credible plan and a clear exit. Used that way, the funding is breathing room — it buys time you can actually use.
It does not suit a business that is balance-sheet insolvent or trading on without a viable plan. Borrowing more against the property then only deepens the hole, and taking on new debt while insolvent can raise insolvent-trading and directors’-liability questions. If that is the position, the right first call is your accountant and a registered insolvency or restructuring practitioner — about protecting yourself while a credible plan is developed, or a formal path such as a small business restructure or administration if a turnaround is not realistic. Sometimes the honest answer is to settle the position before funding it, not to fund it faster.
What we’ll need
The property and the details of your existing mortgage, the rough numbers, and the exit — the plan and the date it lands. The documentation is light; there are no full financials to assemble. We review it and come back with indicative terms within 24–48 hours, subject to assessment, so you know quickly whether this is the right tool or whether the first conversation belongs with your accountant.
- Viable companies or trusts with equity in property and a credible turnaround plan
- A clear, time-limited exit — a sale settling, a refinance, or trading recovering
- A short bridge to hold the position while the plan plays out
- A business that is balance-sheet insolvent or trading on without a viable plan
- Anyone without a realistic exit — more debt against the property only deepens the hole
- Owner-occupier consumer borrowers (business-purpose lending only)
How it compares
FAQ
Can I raise funds if my company already owes the ATO?
Often yes — the test is whether there is equity in the property and a credible exit, not whether the balance sheet is clean. Combined borrowing is usually held to about 75% of the property's value on suitable security, subject to assessment. Where there is no realistic exit, more debt is rarely the answer.
Is this the same as a formal restructure?
No. This is short-term funding that bridges a viable turnaround. A formal Small Business Restructuring or voluntary administration is a separate, practitioner-led process under the Corporations Act, run by a registered practitioner. The two can sit alongside each other, but they are not the same thing.
What if there isn't a clear plan or exit yet?
Then the first conversation is with your accountant and a registered insolvency or restructuring practitioner, not with us. Borrowing more against the property without a viable plan can deepen the position and raise insolvent-trading questions for directors. Sometimes the right answer is to settle the position before funding it.
Will my existing mortgage be affected?
No. The funding sits behind your existing mortgage as a second mortgage or a caveat — there is no refinance of your first facility and no change to its rate or terms.
How fast can it settle?
Often within days on a clean file, once we have the security details, the rough numbers and a clear exit. Indicative terms usually come back within 24–48 hours, subject to assessment.
