The sharp-rate option
If you own property, you can fund the business at sharper rates
Property-backed business lending lets you borrow against property you already hold and put that capital to work, often at rates the unsecured market cannot match. Because the loan is secured, lenders can look past the usual hurdles. There are no up-to-date financials to chase, recent ATO debt can be worked around, and a brand-new business can qualify without years of trading behind it.
Ventas Asset Lending arranges these facilities across a panel of more than 40 lenders, matching your property and your plan to the right one. Funding something smaller? See our equipment and vehicle finance, or talk to us about a working capital line.
What you can use it for
Put the facility to work however your business needs it.
Buy or refinance premises
Purchase the property your business operates from, or refinance an existing commercial loan onto sharper terms.
Release equity for growth
Unlock equity in property you already own and reinvest it straight back into the business.
Consolidate business debt
Roll higher-rate loans into one single-digit, property-secured repayment that is easier to manage.
Clear or restructure ATO debt
Use a property-backed facility to clear outstanding tax debt and replace it with one manageable repayment.
Working capital and cashflow
Bridge a gap, fund a large order, or give the business breathing room when the timing matters.
Buy equipment at sharper rates
Fund big-ticket equipment or a fit-out against property to beat the pricing of an unsecured loan.
Why businesses choose Ventas
Rates priced like a mortgage
Because property secures the loan, you borrow in single-digit territory instead of the double-digit pricing of unsecured business loans. On a facility this size, that gap can be the difference between a deal working and not working.
Low-doc and no financials
No need to pull together years of statements or up-to-date tax returns. Recent ATO debt is workable, and the focus stays on the property and the plan rather than red tape.
Big-ticket headroom
This is the large-facility option. With property as security you can access up to $5-6m, well beyond what an unsecured business loan would stretch to.
New to business? No long ABN history needed.
Most lenders shut the door on new operators. With property as security, we can often open it. Tell us about the property and we will tell you what is possible.

Which property can back a facility
Residential, commercial and investment property can all serve as security, and it does not have to be the business premises. An investment unit, a family home with equity in it, or a commercial property held in a trust are all workable positions, and the property does not need to be owned outright because lenders read the equity rather than the title alone.
What matters is the equity available after the existing mortgage, and how cleanly the ownership is held. Property held jointly, through a trust, or with other parties on the title is still usable, but every party on that title has to be part of the conversation, and finding that out late is the most common avoidable delay in these deals.
The reason to go through the work is the pricing. Property security moves a facility from roughly 9% to 13% p.a. for unsecured or asset-only lending down to roughly 6% to 9% p.a., and lifts the reachable amount to the property-backed pillar of up to $6 million rather than the $500,000 asset pillar. It is also what makes some purposes fundable at all. Detail in property-backed business loans, and if the ABN is young, borrowing without ABN history.

Common questions
Property-Backed Business Finance, explained
How much can I borrow?
Property-backed facilities typically run up to $5-6m, depending on the value and type of the security property and your scenario. There is no single cap that suits everyone, so the fastest way to get a real figure is a free rate quote.
Do I need to own property to qualify?
Yes. This facility is secured against property, so you need to hold equity in residential, commercial or investment real estate. It does not have to be the property the business trades from. If you do not own property, equipment and vehicle finance may suit you better instead.
What can I use as security?
Residential, commercial or investment property can all be used as security, including a property the business does not operate from. If you hold equity in property, it can usually be put to work.
Do I really not need financials?
Correct. Because the loan is secured against property, most lenders on our panel do not require full financials or up-to-date tax returns. These are low-doc and no-doc friendly facilities, which is part of what makes them workable when a bank says no.
I have ATO debt. Can I still get a facility?
Usually yes. Outstanding ATO debt is workable with property-backed lending, and many clients use a facility specifically to clear or consolidate it. Tell us the situation and we will find a lender comfortable with it.
My business is brand new. Will I qualify?
Yes. You do not need a long ABN or trading history. If there is property to secure the loan against, a new business can access funding that unsecured lenders would refuse outright. It is one of the biggest advantages of going property-backed.
