Bridging Loans for Corporate Reorganisation

January 28, 2026

Bridging finance for corporate reorganisation is often the difference between a restructure that moves forward cleanly and one that stalls under timing pressure. When you are reorganising entities, refinancing group debt, transferring property, or unwinding guarantees, the problem is rarely the strategy. It is the timing. Money needs to land before documents can be executed, before a settlement date, or before a counterparty loses patience. Contact us today if you need to move quickly.

At Business Bridging Loans, we have advised and assisted borrowers through corporate reorganisation and group restructures where speed and certainty mattered. We have also facilitated over 500 strategic commercial loans. If you need to move fast with a secured bridging loan for a corporate reorganisation, we can help you structure a practical solution and coordinate settlement. Assess your scenario today.

Why bridging finance helps during a corporate reorganisation

A corporate reorganisation creates “in-between” moments. The end state may be stronger and simpler. But while you transition, you can face short-term funding gaps. Bridging finance is designed for those gaps.

Here is where bridging finance is most useful:

  • You need an urgent settlement to complete an entity transfer, property buyout, or refinance that unlocks the next step.
  • You are consolidating group debt and need temporary funds while new bank facilities are assessed or documented.
  • You want to separate assets and liabilities across entities to reduce risk, but you need capital to execute transfers and pay out intercompany balances.
  • You are exiting a partner or shareholder and need funding to complete the buyout while longer-term finance is finalised.
  • You want to remove personal guarantees, tidy up cross-collateralisation, or simplify security arrangements, but the transition requires a short runway of liquidity.

The key benefit is control. Bridging finance can give you time to complete the restructure properly, rather than forcing decisions based on bank timelines. It can also protect negotiations. When you can demonstrate funding certainty, counterparties tend to be more flexible on terms.

What can go wrong without a bridge

Reorganisations often fail in the middle, not at the start. You can have a clear plan and still get caught by delays. Bank credit teams may take weeks. Lawyers can uncover unexpected conditions. Valuations and consents can take longer than anyone wants.

In that gap, you might face an emergency situation. A settlement date does not move. A creditor may require payment. A deal term may expire. That is when borrowers start searching for a private lender urgent solution that can actually settle.

How Business Bridging Loans helps you execute the restructure

You do not need more theory. You need a lender who understands restructure mechanics and can act quickly.

Business Bridging Loans is a non-bank lender and Private Lender in Australia. We operate Australia wide, including Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, and Canberra. Our focus is secured business loans that are built for time-sensitive transactions, including group restructures and corporate reorganisation funding.

We structure the bridge around your restructure steps

A restructure is not one event. It is a sequence. We work with you to map the order of actions and fund around them, so cash arrives when it is needed, not after the moment passes.

That includes common pressure points like:

  • Funding to complete a transfer or payout first, then refinancing later
  • Short-term funding while a bank refinance is in progress
  • Bridging to align multiple settlements across a group

We move fast when timing matters

If the deal needs to complete quickly, we prioritise speed and coordination. In the right scenario, we can support fast outcomes, including same day settlement, funding within 24 hours, or a rapid path to completion where an urgent settlement is required. Not every matter can settle that quickly, but we will tell you early what is realistic and what is not.

We focus on clear, property-backed security

For corporate reorganisation scenarios, property-backed lending is often the cleanest way to fund quickly. It is also a practical way to keep the restructure moving while longer-term finance catches up. We keep the security and repayment path straightforward, so you are not left with a facility that becomes another problem to unwind later.

We can fund meaningful amounts for real restructure work

Group restructures are rarely small. We can structure facilities to borrow up to $10 million where security and serviceability support it. That can cover significant payouts, refinance shortfalls, or short-term working capital needs created by the restructure timeline.

Pricing and transparency

Bridging is a specialist product. The value is speed, certainty, and flexibility. We are upfront about pricing and total cost so you can make a clean decision. Depending on the scenario, an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a may be available. Your final rate and terms will depend on the security, LVR, transaction complexity, and exit strategy.

We coordinate with your advisers

A corporate reorganisation typically involves your accountant, solicitor, and sometimes your banker. We are used to working within that team. We can align funding with the legal steps, settlement dates, and documentation flow, so you are not relaying messages between parties under time pressure.

We help you protect the end goal

The point of a restructure is a better structure. The bridge should support that outcome, not compromise it. Our role is to reduce friction, keep the timeline intact, and give you breathing room to complete the reorganisation on your terms.

If you are facing a tight deadline, a refinance gap, or a settlement chain that must complete in order, we can help you act decisively. When time is the risk, speed becomes strategy.

FAQs

1. When is bridging finance appropriate for a corporate reorganisation?

When you have a clear end plan but a timing gap. Common examples are settlement-driven transfers, partner exits, group debt consolidation, or funding needed while longer-term bank finance is being processed.

2. How quickly can Business Bridging Loans fund?

If the scenario is straightforward and security is clear, we can move fast. Some matters can achieve funding within 24 hours or even same day settlement. We will confirm early whether your timeframe is achievable.

3. What security do you require for a restructure bridge?

We provide secured business loans backed by real property. The property can be residential or commercial. The strength and clarity of the security is what enables speed and larger limits.

4. How do you assess the exit strategy during a group restructure?

We look for a credible repayment path such as refinance, sale, or documented cash-out event. We also consider the restructure timeline and whether key steps are within your control, so the bridge does not outlive its purpose.

5. Can you help if the situation feels urgent or near an emergency deadline?

Yes. We regularly assist when an urgent settlement is pending and a borrower needs a private lender urgent option. The earlier you engage, the more options we can structure, but we are built for time-sensitive matters.
