If the bank says NO, DFS can get you a YES!
Caveat Loans are a fast, flexible and fantastic finance solution, that could be a viable option if you’re looking to refinance your existing debt.
Whether it’s one debt that you’re looking to pay off sooner, or multiple little debts that are becoming a pain to manage, refinancing with a Caveat Loan can breathe more life into your cash flow and provide a clearer path to repayment.
Below, we uncover how you can refinance your debt with a Caveat Loan through Diverse Funding Solutions.
A short term caveat loan is a type of business loan that’s available to property owners, as it uses real estate property to secure the loan.
Caveat lending is a great way to access finance if you need funds quickly for a range of business purposes, as they’re generally approved and funded in only a matter of days.
Business owners find them an attractive option for this reason, unlike other short term loan solutions where the application process can drag out for weeks — particularly through traditional lenders.
Business loans are designed for specific purposes, but you can use a caveat loan for a wide range of business purposes such as:
Often when a business need arises, you need money fast, which is why fast caveat loans are such a terrific solution.
Other loans such as those from a bank can take weeks (and sometimes months!) to settle.
Many clients tell us that their business simply doesn’t have the time to wait, which is why they seek a fast finance solution — that’s a fundamental difference between accessing a private lender such Diverse Funding Solutions and relying on traditional lenders.
Caveat loans are secured using real property in Australia.
Overseas properties aren’t eligible to be used as security for caveat loans as the legal jurisdiction differs internationally.
When you access a caveat loan, the lender’s interest is registered on the property title of the security property via a legal caveat.
The registered caveat then stipulates that no other transactions (such as selling or transferring ownership) can occur on that real estate property until the caveat is removed.
It’s a common misconception that you need to own your residential property or investment property outright before accessing it’s equity for a caveat loan.
Due to the legal caveat sitting on the property title, it sits behind any existing mortgage, including both a first mortgage or second mortgage.
What this means for you is that provided you have sufficient equity, you can proceed with a caveat loan application!
If you’re looking to refinance your existing debt with a caveat loan, you might be considering how much you can lend.
At DFS, we offer caveat loans for up to 75% of the equity value in the property you’re looking to use for security.
This means that regardless of your home loan, if 75% of your available equity is enough to cover your refinance needs, then you could look to refinance existing debt through a caveat loan, or even complete a debt consolidation!
Of course, if you own the property outright, then you could effectively seek to borrow 75% of your property value!
Refinancing a business debt simply means applying for a new loan to pay off the existing loan.
Many businesses do this in order to access better interest rates or better loan terms.
For example, you may have taken out a Startup Loan to get your business operational, but now you’re looking at refinancing the debt to get a better deal and pay it off sooner.
Perhaps you have business assets that you’re looking at selling, but need to clear the encumberment on them in order to sell – a caveat loan can help effectively pay off the loan to free up the vehicle ready for sale.
A possible exit strategy for your caveat loan in this scenario would be to use the sale proceeds from the business asset or vehicle to then repay the caveat loan.
If you’re a small business that has been impacted by Coronavirus, Government assistance for your lending needs is coming to an end, with the SME Recovery Loan Scheme finishing on June 30, 2022.
For a lot of businesses, the largest benefit to refinancing their debt is freeing up their cash flow.
Another major benefit is of course any cost savings that come with paying off the debt at more attractive interest rate, or sooner than the remaining loan term on your existing debt.
Caveat loans are assessed based on their being a suitable exit strategy to repay the loan.
Provided you have a suitable repayment strategy, you could refinance and potentially free up other assets, take them off encumberment, save interest or even free up your working capital
