If the bank says NO, DFS can get you a YES!
Lousy credit can strike the best of us, especially in the business world; caveat loans are a flexible finance solution available to business owners, even if they hold bad credit!
The course of business ownership is not always smooth sailing.
Many business owners lay everything on the line to get their business off the ground, including their own personal finances or assets.
While they can reap the rewards down the track, the journey can leave its mark on their credit file.
Don’t let your plans to access finance take a back seat as a business owner with bad credit; a Diverse Funding Solutions caveat loan is still firmly on the table — we explain more below.
Historically, business owners have sought after business loans from traditional lenders, such as banks and credit unions.
These types of financial institutions operate under strict lending criteria, which are underpinned by the strength of the applicant’s credit history.
The rigidity of the criteria means that there’s very little wiggle room when assessing applications that may not fit the mould perfectly.
Despite having full capacity to meet the monthly repayments or repay the loan, many business loan applicants are declined for business loans through traditional financiers.
Those who’ve been down the mortgage route, either to get a home loan or other loan from a bank, know how long the mortgage process can take.
Caveat loans are the opposite of home loans and other bank loans in that they are one of the fastest funded loans available in Australia — this is the fundamental difference between caveat loans and traditional loans.
Caveat loans are mostly offered through private lenders, who operate differently from traditional financial institutions.
Fast approvals, minimal documentation, no credit checks, and consideration of your personal circumstances are what make caveat loans such an attractive option for business owners with bad credit.

Many developers utilise the ease and flexibility of caveat loans to fund their building projects.
You don’t need to be a property developer to use a real estate property to back a caveat loan.
If you own a business and a property and need to borrow money for a short period, consider whether a caveat loan could be the right option.
A caveat is secured by using the equity in real property, whether a residential or investment property.
In the case of property developers, they use commercial property to back the lending transaction.
Caveat loans are created when the lender’s interest is registered on the property title.
Due to the legal caveat being over the title deed, it effectively sits behind any registered mortgage.
This means that regardless of whether there is an existing first mortgage or second mortgage on the property, provided there is sufficient equity in the property value, you can use the property as security for a caveat loan!
Regarding your caveat loan application, we generally only ask for a mortgage statement, and council rates notice.
Once the legal caveat is registered on your property title, no further transactions can occur on the security property, such as a property sale or transfer of ownership.
Good to know: overseas properties aren’t eligible to be used as security for a caveat loan.
If you’ve been researching caveat loans, it doesn’t take much reading to come across the term ‘short term caveat loan’.
Also known as ‘fast caveat loans’, short-term caveat loans are aptly named, as they’re a short-term business loan offered between 1 month – 24 months.
Importantly, this means that once the loan is repaid, the legal caveat on the security property is lifted!
The interest rate hike of recent months has caused much chatter in the business community. Coupled with the rising cost of doing business, it’s little wonder that business owners are concerned with

Likely to be what’s brought you here, private lending doesn’t rely on the results of a credit check to determine your credibility to repay the loan.
Instead, caveat loans are assessed by devising appropriate exit strategies and working out repayment schedules thereafter.
Suitable exit strategies include the sale proceeds of assets or property, the profit from an upcoming peak season, or expected funds (such as an insurance payout).
Unlike many lenders, who lock you down for years and years when you borrow money, private lending offers the flexibility of loan repayments.
Private lenders are happy to work on terms relevant to your personal circumstances and financial needs.
