Why large orders create a working capital squeeze

Most large contracts are cash-flow negative at the start. Your expenses land early. Your income lands later. Common pinch points include purchase orders that require upfront supplier deposits, manufacturing lead times, and staged delivery milestones.

You can be doing everything right and still face a gap, such as:

  • You need to pay suppliers in full to release goods.
  • Your customer pays on 30 to 90 day terms after delivery.
  • Freight and import costs spike at the wrong time.
  • You must carry extra payroll and subcontractors to meet deadlines.

If you miss the deadline, you risk penalties, cancelled contracts, and reputational damage. If you under-resource the job, quality slips. This is where a short-term funding solution can protect the deal.

How bridging finance helps with large order fulfillment

A bridging loan is a short-term, secured facility. It is commonly used to cover time-sensitive funding needs while you complete a transaction, deliver a contract, or wait for a clear exit event.

For large order fulfillment, bridging finance can help you:

  • Purchase inventory or raw materials when suppliers require immediate payment.
  • Fund production runs and packaging before invoices are issued.
  • Cover shipping, logistics, and customs costs without slowing delivery.
  • Smooth cash flow so your team can execute without distraction.
  • Protect other investments and liquidity instead of stripping working capital from everywhere else.

You also gain speed and certainty. In the right scenario, bridging finance can support an urgent settlement on supplier payments, or an emergency gap when a contract schedule shifts.

Why Business Bridging Loans is built for time-sensitive orders

When you are staring at a delivery deadline, you don’t need a slow process. You need clear options, fast decisions, and a lender who understands what “time critical” actually means.

Business Bridging Loans is 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 focus is secured business loans that are structured for speed and practicality.

We help you move forward with a process that is direct and commercially minded.

What we look at and how we structure funding

Large order fulfillment funding is not one-size-fits-all. We structure bridging finance around the timeline of your contract and the strength of your security.

We typically focus on:

  • The value and timing of the order or contract.
  • Your delivery schedule and cost milestones.
  • The funding gap you need to cover, and for how long.
  • Your exit strategy, such as contract receipts, refinance, or asset sale.

Because we lend on a secured basis, we can move faster than many traditional channels. This is why borrowers come to us when speed matters and when banks cannot meet the timeline.

Speed matters when suppliers do not wait

Supplier payments and production slots are unforgiving. If you miss a window, you can lose the allocation, the pricing, or the entire opportunity.

Depending on your scenario, we can support fast outcomes, including same day settlement when timing is tight. In many cases, we can also arrange funding within 24 hours once the right documents and valuation pathway are in place. If you are facing an urgent settlement, or you need a private lender urgent solution due to an emergency timetable, we can step in with a practical structure.

Loan sizes and pricing that match real contracts

Large orders often require meaningful capital. We can structure facilities to borrow up to $10 million, subject to security and assessment.

Pricing is scenario-specific, but we can offer an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a in suitable cases. Bridging finance is not about being the cheapest at all times. It is about being on time, protecting margin, and completing delivery so the contract value is actually realised.

How we’ve helped borrowers in similar situations

We regularly assist capable businesses that are growing, acquiring, or fulfilling time-sensitive contracts. Many have strong balance sheets and valuable assets, but their cash is tied up in operations, property, or investments.

We help by:

  • Moving quickly when a contract win creates an immediate funding gap.
  • Funding supplier deposits so production can start on time.
  • Coordinating settlement to align with delivery milestones.
  • Structuring terms that match the reality of contract cash flow, not just generic lending policy.

We’ve facilitated over 500 strategic commercial loans. That experience matters when timelines are tight and the stakes are high. You get a lender that stays calm, makes decisions, and helps you execute.

A straightforward path to funding

You do not need a drawn-out process. You need a clear plan.

Here is what you can expect with Business Bridging Loans:

  • A direct review of your funding gap and deadline
  • A secured loan structure aligned to your order timeline
  • Clear next steps and realistic timeframes
  • Fast execution through our Australia-wide capability
