Transport and logistics is built on timing. Contracts start on set dates. Freight volumes spike without warning. And fleet capacity is either available or it isn’t. When you need trucks, trailers, depot space, or working capital now, waiting weeks for a traditional approval can cost you margin and momentum. Contact us today if you need to move quickly.

Why bridging finance fits transport logistics

Bridging finance is short-term funding secured by property, designed to solve timing gaps. In transport logistics, those gaps are common, even in strong businesses.

Here are practical benefits when you are funding fleet expansion operations:

• Speed when a deal is time-sensitive. Bridging finance can support an urgent settlement where delays would lose you the asset, the site, or the contract.
• Flexibility during expansion. You can acquire or secure what you need first, then refinance later once financials catch up to the new run rate.
• Stronger negotiating position. Being able to commit quickly can help you lock in purchase terms, site access, or a strategic contract start date.
• Cleaner cash flow. You can avoid draining operating cash that should be paying drivers, fuel, maintenance, tolls, and insurance.
• A straightforward structure. It is a secured business loans option when you need fast capital and a clear exit plan.

In plain terms, bridging finance is built for moments where timing matters more than perfection.

Where bridging finance helps in fleet expansion operations

Fleet expansion is rarely just “buy another truck.” It usually involves multiple moving parts and multiple payment deadlines.

Bridging finance can help you fund:

• New depot or yard acquisition before lease income or contract revenue fully lands.
• A rapid fleet increase to service a new lane, a new customer, or a contract renewal with higher volumes.
• Business acquisition where you need to settle quickly, then tidy up longer-term finance later.
• A refinance window where you need breathing space while you restructure facilities with a bank.
• Short-term working capital pressure caused by growth, slower-paying customers, or seasonality.

If you have a clear plan for repayment, bridging finance can be a sensible tool. It is not a long-term facility. It is a strategic one.

How Business Bridging Loans helps you move quickly and safely

You do not need another lender that speaks in vague timelines. You need clarity, options, and a clear path to funds.

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. We focus on secured lending where speed and certainty matter.

You get fast decisions, not long maybes

In logistics, delays are expensive. We aim to move fast when the deal requires it, including fast pathways for urgent scenarios. In the right circumstances, we can work toward same day settlement and funding within 24 hours. This matters when you are facing an urgent settlement, a private lender urgent need, or an emergency that could disrupt operations or a contract start date.

We structure funding around your real-world exit plan

A bridging loan is only as good as the plan to repay it. We take that seriously.

We help you confirm an exit strategy such as:

• Sale of a property or another asset.
• Refinance to a bank or longer-term non-bank facility once financials stabilise.
• Settlement of a property transaction where timing is the only issue.
• Release of funds from another transaction that is delayed but progressing.

You stay in control because you know what happens next.

You can borrow at meaningful scale for growth

Fleet expansion can require significant capital, especially when property is also part of the plan.

With Business Bridging Loans, you can borrow up to $10 million, subject to our assessment and security. This can be the difference between a small step and a real expansion.

Transparent pricing and practical terms

You deserve clear numbers, early.

We will walk you through costs and timeframes. Depending on the scenario, an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a may apply. Your final rate and structure will depend on risk, security, location, and the strength of the exit.

We keep it grounded and commercial

You may be expanding while managing compliance, fatigue rules, customer KPIs, maintenance schedules, and staff. You do not have time to educate a lender on how logistics actually works.

We stay practical. We review the security, assess the timeline, and coordinate a structure that supports your operational reality. The goal is to reduce friction, not add to it.

What the process looks like

You need a process that matches the pace of your industry.

With Business Bridging Loans, the process is typically:

1. We review your scenario and your timeline.
2. We confirm the security property and the proposed loan structure.
3. We assess your exit plan and supporting documents.
4. We issue terms and coordinate valuation and legal steps as needed.
5. We arrange funding as quickly as the transaction allows.

If speed is critical, we prioritise the shortest path to certainty.

When bridging finance is not the right tool

If you need long-term, low-rate finance with no time pressure, bridging may not be ideal. If there is no clear exit strategy, it may be the wrong fit. Our job is to be direct about that and steer you to a better option if needed.
