January 28, 2026

If you are buying an industrial property or warehouse, timing can matter more than price. Contracts move quickly. Vendors want certainty. Banks can take weeks. Bridging finance for an industrial premises purchase is designed for these exact moments. It gives you a short-term, property-backed loan so you can secure the site now, then refinance or repay when your longer-term plan is ready. Contact us today if you need urgent support.

Why bridging finance suits industrial and warehouse purchases

Industrial deals often come with pressure points that standard finance struggles to match. Bridging finance exists to remove friction when your opportunity has a deadline.

Key benefits you can actually use:

  • Speed when you need urgent settlement. You can act while others are still waiting for credit approvals.
  • A practical solution when your funds are tied up. Common examples include a pending property sale, refinance delays, or capital stuck in the business cycle.
  • Flexibility around property and cash flow timing. You can buy first, then tidy up the longer-term lending once the asset is secured.
  • Funding for value-add. If you are buying a warehouse to refurbish, re-lease, or reposition, bridging can help you secure it before the uplift is fully visible to a bank valuer.
  • Reduced deal risk. You avoid extension fees, penalty interest, or losing the property because finance was not ready.

In plain terms, bridging finance is there to help you take control of timing. Industrial property rewards decisiveness. Bridging helps you be decisive without being reckless.

Where urgent finance is most common in industrial property

You may need urgent finance for industrial premises and warehouse purchases when:

  • Settlement is approaching and bank finance is not ready
  • You are buying under a tight contract with limited extensions
  • A vendor wants a clean, fast deal
  • You are buying at auction or via an off-market approach
  • You are transitioning between facilities and cannot risk operational downtime

These are not rare situations. They are normal in industrial property. What matters is having a lender who understands the pace and can execute.

How Business Bridging Loans helps you secure the property fast

You do not need a lecture on finance. You need a plan that clears settlement. That is how we approach every industrial and warehouse purchase.

We are a Private Lender in Australia and a non-bank lender. We operate Australia wide, including Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, and Canberra. Our job is to move quickly, stay practical, and structure a facility that fits the reality of your timeline.

Here is what you can expect when you come to us.

A process built for urgency and certainty

Industrial transactions can turn into an emergency when timelines compress. We treat speed as a workflow, not a promise.

We can support fast approvals, same day settlement in the right circumstances, and funding within 24 hours where the deal is ready and security is clear. If you are facing urgent settlement, we focus on what will get the matter done, not what would be ideal in a perfect world.

We coordinate the key steps that normally slow borrowers down:

  • Rapid review of the contract and settlement date
  • Clear confirmation of available property security
  • Practical loan structure that matches your exit strategy
  • Documentation and settlement coordination with your solicitor

If you need private lender urgent support, we will tell you quickly what is workable and what is not. That alone saves time.

Loan structures that fit industrial purchases

Industrial properties are diverse. Warehouses, hardstand, small strata units, mixed-use industrial, and specialised premises all have different risk profiles and settlement realities. Our approach is to structure secured business loans that reflect your specific purchase and your repayment plan.

Depending on your scenario, we may structure the loan to help you:

  • Complete the purchase while a sale is pending
  • Buy now and refinance later with a bank once leases, fit-out, or income are stabilised
  • Avoid disruption while you relocate operations
  • Settle quickly while you finalise long-term capital allocation

When the numbers and security stack up, you can borrow up to $10 million. Pricing is always risk-based, but we can offer an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a in suitable scenarios.

Calm guidance when the pressure is on

An urgent purchase can feel like everything is happening at once. Agent pressure, legal steps, insurance, valuations, tenant questions—moving parts can create mistakes.

Our role is to reduce that risk. We do not just lend. We review the full scenario, point out timing issues early, and help you line up a credible exit pathway so the bridging period stays controlled.

This matters because bridging finance is a tool. Used well, it protects your position. Used poorly, it creates stress. We keep it used well.

When a bridging loan is the right move and when it is not

Bridging works best when there is a clear reason for speed and a clear plan to repay. You may be a fit if you have strong property security and a realistic exit such as refinance, sale, or a known liquidity event.

It may not be the right fit if your repayment plan is uncertain or relies on best-case assumptions. If that is the case, we will tell you directly. That honesty protects you.

Next steps

If you are buying an industrial site or warehouse and the timeline is tight, act early. The earlier you move, the more options you keep. If the situation is already urgent, we can still help by moving quickly and focusing on what will actually settle.

Business Bridging Loans can help you secure a deal without losing momentum, even when it feels like the clock is running out.

FAQs

1. Can you help if my bank has approved in principle but cannot settle in time?

Yes. This is a common urgent settlement scenario. Bridging can cover the gap so you settle now, then refinance to the bank once their documents and conditions are complete.

2. Is funding within 24 hours genuinely possible for a warehouse purchase?

It can be, if your security property is clear, your documents are ready, and your solicitor can move. Not every deal qualifies, but we assess quickly and give you a straight answer.

3. What does same day settlement mean in practice?

It means the loan can settle on the day documentation and security requirements are satisfied. It depends on readiness across all parties, including legal and settlement logistics.

4. What security do you take for an industrial premises purchase bridging loan?

These are secured business loans backed by property. The strength and type of property security drives how much you can borrow, the structure, and the pricing.

5. If my purchase becomes an emergency, can you still step in?

Yes. We regularly help in emergency timelines, including private lender urgent requests, as long as the security and exit plan are workable. The key is moving immediately and staying coordinated through settlement.
