Secured Business Loans · Commercial Finance

Borrow against what the business already owns, with the trade-offs spelled out first.

Property, equipment or unpaid invoices can back the borrowing, usually with more room on amount and term than unsecured lending. We tell you plainly what your security supports and which lenders will say yes.

What happens next

  • We call at your preferred time, usually within one business day.

  • A 15 to 30 minute conversation about your assets and the funding.

  • A straight answer: possible now, possible with changes, or not yet.

Complex commercial transactions may carry a fee for service, quoted upfront: half at application, the balance only on approval. Enquiring won’t affect your credit score.

Why commercial through Evolve

Commercial is where we do our best work

Right asset, right lender

Property, equipment, vehicles or invoices each suit different lenders and different loan sizes. We match the security to the funding before choosing where to lodge.

Deep lender relationships

Deep working relationships with 15 to 20 lenders: banks, non-banks and specialist funders. Several will take security the majors read as too complicated.

Risks spelled out first

Before you pledge the family home or the depot, you hear exactly what is at stake, in plain terms, and whether another asset would do.

Tricky deals, minimum fuss

ATO debt, trust structures, fresh financials, a prior decline. The complicated end of business lending is where we do most of our work.

In plain terms

How secured business loans actually work

Secured business loans put an asset behind the borrowing: commercial or residential property, vehicles and equipment, sometimes the invoice ledger itself. Because the lender can recover the debt from the security, the loan usually stretches further and runs longer than its unsecured equivalent. For an established business that owns something of value, it is often the most sensible way to fund the next move, provided the asset is used well.

The catch is that no two secured deals look alike. Which asset to offer, whose name it sits in and how much a lender will advance against it all shift the outcome. We hold deep working relationships with 15 to 20 lenders and take the file only to those with genuine appetite for it. Where the assets are better left untouched, unsecured business loans may suit better, and we will say so.

Tell us what the business owns and what the money must do, or compare business lending options first. The answer will be straight: possible now, possible with changes, or not yet.

How it works

From first conversation to funds settled

  • Step

    The first conversation

    A call, usually within one business day, covering what the business owns, what it owes and what the funding must achieve.

  • Step

    Security and structure

    We read the financials, debt schedule and title or asset details the way an assessor does, then settle which asset to offer and in whose name.

  • Step

    The recommendation

    Lender, structure, costs and any fee, in writing. Possible now, possible with changes, or not yet. You decide before anything is lodged.

  • Step

    Approval to settlement

    One complete application to the lender that fits. We manage the valuation, assessment and loan documents through to the funds landing.
