Why capacity expansion becomes urgent

Capacity constraints rarely arrive slowly. They show up as daily friction.

Common triggers include:

• A new supply contract that increases inbound volume overnight
• A peak season that now lasts most of the year
• A landlord decision that forces relocation or fit-out work on a deadline
• A chance to buy an adjacent unit or freehold site with a short settlement window
• A need to expand racking, hardstand, cool rooms, or dispatch lanes before a major customer onboards

In these moments, timing matters more than price. If you miss the site, the builder, or the equipment slot, you can lose months.

What bridging finance does well for warehouse expansion

A bridging loan is short-term funding. It is secured. It is built for speed and certainty when traditional timelines are too slow.

Used well, it can help you:

• Secure a property quickly when the right warehouse becomes available
• Fund fit-out and capacity works while you finalise longer-term finance
• Bridge a cash flow gap between settlement, lease commencement, and revenue uplift
• Avoid operational disruption by keeping stock moving during a transition

It can also reduce opportunity cost. If the expansion unlocks higher throughput, more pick faces, or better dock utilisation, speed can be worth more than a marginally lower rate.

How Business Bridging Loans helps you expand quickly

You are not looking for generic lending advice. You want a clear path to “approved, settled, and funded” with minimal noise. That is the role we play.

We are a Private Lender in Australia and a non-bank lender. We operate Australia wide across Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, and Canberra. Our focus is secured business loans that are practical, fast, and structured around your real timeline.

We prioritise speed when you need it most

Warehouse deals do not wait. Neither do builders, suppliers, or landlords.

If your matter is time-critical, we can structure for fast, same day settlement where feasible. In other cases, you can see funding within 24 hours once key details are confirmed and documents are ready. This is particularly relevant for an urgent settlement, a private lender urgent requirement, or an emergency where you need certainty to proceed.

We stay direct about what is and is not possible. Speed works best when the security, exit, and documents are clean.

We structure the loan around your expansion plan

Warehouse capacity expansion is not one-size-fits-all. The funding structure should match what you are actually doing.

You may be:

• Buying a larger warehouse or an adjoining unit
• Relocating and funding fit-out, racking, or compliance works
• Adding hardstand, loading areas, or fleet parking to reduce congestion
• Temporarily carrying two sites to avoid downtime during changeover

We review your timeline and coordinate the structure so the loan supports the operational reality. That means thinking about drawdowns, settlement dates, and how you transition to the next stage of finance.

Clear parameters, no guessing

You want to know the numbers early.

With Business Bridging Loans, you can borrow up to $10million, subject to the security and scenario. Pricing depends on the risk profile and structure, with an interest rate starting at 9.2% p.a for suitable files.

Because we are a non-bank lender, we can often take a more practical view of timeframes and scenarios that do not fit a standard policy box. That does not mean loose credit. It means decisions that match real commercial timelines.

A practical approach to your exit strategy

A bridging loan is not meant to be permanent. The exit matters.

Typical exits we see for warehouse expansion include:

• Refinancing into a longer-term commercial facility once works are complete
• Releasing equity after uplift in valuation from improved capacity and income
• Sale of another property to clear or reduce the bridge
• Transition from short-term pressure to stable cash flow once throughput increases

We help you map the exit up front. That keeps the loan aligned with a sensible timeframe and reduces stress later.

We coordinate the transaction, not just the loan

Most delays come from coordination gaps. We focus on removing friction.

We work with your broker, solicitor, and agent where relevant. We confirm documents and timelines early. We keep communication tight. If the deal requires urgent settlement, we act like it.

This is why clients use us when warehouse decisions need pace and certainty, not a long approval queue.
