Superannuation doesn’t wait for your cash flow to catch up. If you have a superannuation guarantee shortfall, the timeline can tighten quickly. The superannuation guarantee charge adds pressure.

Why bridging finance can fit superannuation obligations

When you’re dealing with overdue super, the problem is rarely “the business is broken.” More often, it’s timing. Payments arrive after obligations fall due. A settlement is pending. A debtor is late. Working capital is tied up. Meanwhile, the ATO clock keeps moving.

A bridging loan is designed for this kind of timing mismatch. It can give you a clear, short-term path to get the liability under control while you execute your plan to repay from an expected event, such as a property sale, refinance, or settlement.

  • Speed when you need an urgent settlement outcome, not a long approval process
  • A single facility to cover the superannuation guarantee charge and catch up obligations in one move
  • A clear repayment strategy tied to a defined exit, instead of guessing month to month
  • Reduced distraction, so you can keep running the business while the debt is resolved
  • A secured solution that can be cleaner than patching the gap through multiple short-term measures

Bridging finance is not a long-term fix. It’s a tool. Used properly, it buys you time and control. Used poorly, it can add stress. That’s why the lender and the structure matter.

How Business Bridging Loans helps you move fast and get it done properly

You don’t need a lecture. You need a plan that works under real time pressure.

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 job is to make funding achievable when timing matters and traditional channels move too slowly.

We focus on the outcome and the exit, not perfect paperwork

Superannuation guarantee debt is sensitive because it has consequences beyond interest. It affects directors, cash flow, and future options. We start by understanding:

  • The amount required to pay the superannuation guarantee charge and any catch up obligations
  • Your timeline and what “urgent” actually means in your case
  • Your exit strategy, such as a pending sale, refinance, or settlement
  • The property security available to support the facility

Then we structure a secured business loans solution that matches the timeframe. The aim is simple. Get you funded, get the liability paid, and get you back to running the business with fewer moving parts.

Speed is built into the process

When the situation is urgent, time becomes a cost. We are set up for emergency timelines where bank processes are not realistic.

Depending on the scenario and security, we can coordinate fast, same day settlement outcomes. In many cases, it can mean funding within 24 hours. This is particularly relevant where you need to finalise payment arrangements quickly, meet a hard deadline, or avoid compounding issues.

If you’re searching for a private lender urgent solution, you want clarity on what’s possible, what’s not, and what it will take to get it across the line. We give you that early.

Clear loan parameters and realistic leverage

With Business Bridging Loans, you can borrow up to $10 million, subject to the strength of the security and the exit. Pricing will depend on risk, structure, and timeline. We can offer an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a on suitable scenarios.

You’re not looking for the cheapest money. You’re looking for money that arrives in time and makes commercial sense once the super is dealt with. That’s the lens we use.

We manage the transaction like a settlement, not a sales process

Superannuation guarantee debt funding often needs coordination. There may be accountants, advisers, solicitors, and ATO steps happening in parallel. We take a settlement mindset:

  • We confirm the amount to be funded and the timing required
  • We align documents and parties early to avoid last-minute friction
  • We keep the structure simple and focused on the super payment outcome
  • We keep you updated with straight answers as the deal progresses

This is also why a bridging loan can work well here. It’s designed for urgent settlement and short timelines.

When this approach is typically a good fit

A secured bridging loan may suit you if you have property available as security and a credible exit path, but you need time to execute it. Common examples include:

  • You’re waiting on a refinance but need to pay the superannuation guarantee charge now
  • You have catch up obligations and want to clear them in one funded payment
  • You have an upcoming sale or settlement and need an interim facility
  • You want to stop the issue growing while you stabilise cash flow

We’ve assisted others in similar situations. The common thread is not panic. It’s urgency plus a plan.
