Who this is for

Sydney business owners with 2+ years of consistent trading who are ready to scale and need capital to make the step.

Opening a second location (same business, new site)
Expanding into a new market or product line
Hiring surge (3+ roles in the next 6 months)
Major equipment or technology investment
Working capital to support increased trading volume
Acquiring a competitor or complementary business

The real challenge

Expansion is a double-edged lending scenario: lenders want to see trading history (good) but your current financials don't yet reflect the step-up (bad). You know the second site, new product, or hire plan works - but the lender's credit team needs to be convinced.

The structure matters: a specific-purpose expansion facility with a business plan and projections lands better than a vague "working capital" ask. Specialist growth lenders will underwrite the business case, not just the historical P&L.

How Mortgagefy helps

Growth-lender match. We know which lenders back expansion capital for established SMEs vs those who prefer business-as-usual trading.
Business plan framing. We help you present the expansion plan so credit teams approve - specific-purpose, measurable, time-bound.
Stage-release structures where appropriate - facility drawn in tranches tied to expansion milestones.
Honest serviceability run on current trading only (not projected uplift) - so there's no gap between what we say and what the lender approves.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow for business expansion?

Depends on serviceability and security. Unsecured expansion facilities typically cap at $500k; secured against property can reach $5m-$10m. The limit is set by what your current trading services, not what the expansion will generate.

Will the lender use my revenue projections?

Only in a limited way. Lenders primarily service against current trading. Projections support the use-of-funds narrative but rarely drive the borrowing capacity itself.

Can I draw the facility in stages?

Yes - common structure for larger expansion facilities. Tranches drawn against milestones (new premises leased, first key hire, equipment delivered). Lender comfort increases as you execute the plan.

Will I need personal guarantees?

Yes for most expansion loans. Directors give personal guarantees; some lenders will cap or stagger guarantees for larger facilities.

Is a term loan or a line of credit better?

Depends on use. One-off expansion events (new site, equipment, acquisition) suit term loans. Ongoing growth capital with lumpy drawdowns suits a line of credit.

Can I use my home equity to fund business expansion?

Yes - common structure. Residential equity secures the loan at residential pricing (lower than commercial), used to fund a business purpose. We assess whether that's the right structure or whether a commercial facility is cleaner.
