Why speed matters here

Legal matters come with hard deadlines: payment by a court date, a settlement offer that expires, or security for costs before a claim can proceed. Missing one can cost far more than the loan.

How we can fund it

Own property

Property-secured

Property-secured loans suit larger settlements and litigation budgets, with capitalised interest so there's nothing to pay until the matter resolves.

Up to $5M · as little as 24 hrs · no financials

No property

Cash-flow loan

Smaller legal bills can be covered with a cash-flow loan based on your trading.

From bank statements · as little as 2 hrs

Example scenario

Settling a commercial dispute before the offer lapsed

A Sydney importer had seven days to accept a $350,000 settlement that ended a costly supply dispute. A caveat loan over the director's home funded it on day four, into the solicitor's trust account.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a business loan to pay legal fees?

Yes. Legal fees, settlements and court-ordered payments are accepted business purposes.

Can you pay into a solicitor's trust account?

Yes. We can pay directly to your lawyer's trust account.

What if the outcome is uncertain?

We'll structure the loan around a realistic exit, such as a property sale, refinance or payout, not around winning the case.

Does it cost anything to apply?

No. There's no cost to apply or check your eligibility. All costs are set out in writing in your loan offer before you sign anything.
