What a payroll gap really looks like in business

Payroll gaps are rarely a “bad business” sign. They are often a timing issue in an otherwise healthy operation. Common triggers include:

• A large debtor pays late, but your payroll cycle stays fixed.
• A property settlement is pending, but funds have not released.
• A contract milestone is met, but progress payment timing shifts.
• A tax payment, BAS, or seasonal dip squeezes working capital.
• You are scaling and wages rise before revenue catches up.

The risk is not only financial. It is operational and reputational. Staff expect to be paid. Suppliers watch for stress signals. Your focus gets dragged into fire-fighting.

Benefits of bridging finance for a payroll gap

Bridging finance is not meant to replace sensible working capital. It is meant to bridge. Used correctly, it can be a clean, strategic fix.

Key benefits include:

• Speed when timing is critical. This can be an emergency solution when payroll is imminent.
• Certainty. You can meet payroll obligations and protect staff trust.
• Short-term structure. You use it for weeks or months, not years.
• Secured terms. It is often more achievable than unsecured options when time is tight.
• Flexibility. It can be aligned to your confirmed exit, such as settlement, refinance, or receivable payment.

In plain terms, you are buying time. You are preventing a timing problem from becoming a bigger business problem.

How Business Bridging Loans helps you fund payroll fast

When payroll is due, you need direct answers and a clear pathway to funds. You also need a lender who understands that payroll funding is not theoretical. It is time-sensitive, and it affects real people.

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, Canberra. Our role is to reduce friction, move quickly, and structure the loan around your collateral and your exit strategy.

We can assist with secured business loans where you leverage residential or commercial property. This is often the most reliable way to access urgent liquidity without waiting through slow bank processes.

What you can expect from us

We keep the process practical and focused. You will know what is possible early, and you will not be left guessing.

Here is how we typically help:

• We review your payroll timing, your cash position, and your exit plan.
• We confirm the available security and a realistic lending position.
• We coordinate valuation steps where required, without wasting days.
• We structure a bridging term that matches your time horizon.
• We work to achieve urgent settlement when the situation demands it.

In the right scenario, we can support fast outcomes, including same day settlement, funding within 24 hours, or a private lender urgent solution. Not every deal can be settled that quickly, and it depends on documentation, security, and your exit. But speed is a core part of what we do.

Loan sizes and pricing expectations

If your security position supports it, you may be able to borrow up to $10 million. That can cover anything from a single payroll run to multiple cycles while a larger event finalises.

Pricing depends on risk and structure, but you may see an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a in suitable circumstances. We will explain costs in plain language, including any establishment fees and the expected total cost over the term. Clarity matters when you are making fast decisions.

When bridging finance is the right fit for payroll

Bridging finance works best when your payroll gap is temporary and your exit is clear. Examples include:

• A property settlement that is signed and dated, but delayed.
• A refinance that is in progress, but bank timing is slow.
• A large receivable that is contracted, but payment terms are extended.
• A short-term working capital squeeze during growth, with strong forward income.

If you have a credible, near-term exit and suitable property security, bridging can be the cleanest path to get wages paid without disrupting operations.

This makes it easier to structure an urgent settlement and avoid back-and-forth.
