Booms and slowdowns in resources ripple through the local economy, so cash flow planning matters.

- Bridging long payment terms from large clients.
- Equipment and vehicles for trades and construction.
- Property-secured funding to smooth resource-cycle swings.

How property security works in Western Australia
Owners in Perth who hold property can usually access more than unsecured lending allows. Property-secured business loans run from $20k to $5m and need no valuation. Security is registered through Landgate, and the structure can be a first mortgage, a second mortgage behind an existing home loan or a quicker caveat. Repayments can be deferred by paying interest up front or capitalising it, which suits businesses waiting on a sale, a contract or a better season.
Other support worth knowing about
Before borrowing, check whether a cheaper fix exists. The Small Business Development Corporation can help with payment disputes and supplier issues, business.gov.au lists current grants and programs, and the ATO offers payment plans for tax debts. Funding works best alongside those, not instead of them.
How the process works from Perth
Being based in Melbourne makes no difference to how we work with Perth businesses. You send the enquiry, we call, and everything from bank statements to loan documents moves through secure online channels. Where funds need to go straight to the ATO, a supplier or a settlement, that can be arranged at the start.
A Perth example (illustrative)
A Perth engineering contractor wins maintenance work on a processing plant, invoiced monthly on 45-day terms. Mobilising two crews and specialist tools costs $150,000 up front. Equipment finance covers the tools, and invoice finance funds the monthly invoices so payroll does not depend on the client’s payment run.
Key takeaways
- Unsecured funding typically $5k to $500k for Perth businesses
- Property-secured loans from $20k to $5m, no valuation
- Resources-linked businesses with long payment terms
- No credit check to enquire, and a real person calls you back
How the process runs
One enquiry, one team, one clear answer. That is the whole approach. We read what you send, call you, ask for the documents that matter and lay out the options in plain English with the total cost attached. Your details are not shopped around, and your credit file is only checked if you choose to accept an offer. If the answer is no, you will hear it quickly and with a reason, so you can plan your next move.
When borrowing helps, and when it does not
Funding works best when three things are true: the need is specific, it is temporary or it pays for itself, and there is a clear source of repayment. If all three hold, the right loan can take real pressure off the business. If the business is losing money month after month with no change in sight, borrowing only postpones a harder decision, and we would rather say so than arrange a loan that makes things worse.
A simple preparation list
You do not need a folder of financial statements to start an enquiry. For most unsecured and property-secured funding, these few items cover the essentials:
- Photo ID for each director or owner.
- Access to your business bank account for a secure statement link.
- Your latest BAS, if it is handy.
- Details of existing finance, including any daily or weekly repayments.
- For property-secured funding, the property address and current loan balance.
About the questions we ask
The enquiry asks for the amount, the purpose, how long you have traded, your monthly revenue, your credit history, your state and whether you own real estate. Each answer steers your enquiry towards the right option. Accurate answers let the first call move straight to solutions. Rounded-up turnover or a credit history that turns out to be different from the form means starting again, which costs everyone time.
Talk to a real person
If funding could help, let us know the details. Enquiring runs no credit check, your information stays with one team, and a real person will talk you through what fits. Please answer each question honestly and precisely, particularly the amount, turnover and whether you own real estate, so we can match you properly from the start.
