Why Borrowers Use Private Lenders Instead of Banks

One loan request reaches our whole network of private lenders and brokers – no applying to lender after lender.

Fast & Free

Simple Application

Post your loan request in one short form. ADS checks it, then it goes live to our network of finance providers. No upfront fees, no hidden costs.

Secure & Private

Data Security

Securely store your financial information. Your contact details and documents go only to the Finance Provider who takes on your request.

Specialist Providers

Providers Who Fund Your Loan

Finance Providers see your request without your name or contact details, and those who fund your type of loan ask you about it.

Calculator suite

Loan, Mortgage & Income Calculators

31 calculators across four areas — residential lending, the commercial side most calculators ignore, the decisions around a mortgage, and income tax and take-home pay on current ATO rates.

Serviceability on the asset rather than the borrower - development, construction, bridging, equipment and business cash flow.

ICR & DSCR

Commercial lenders do not assess a property loan on your personal income. They test whether the asset covers its own debt, using the Interest Cover Ratio and the Debt Service Cover Ratio. This calculator produces both and shows the maximum loan each supports.

Development feasibility

Build a residual feasibility for a small development: land, construction, professional fees, finance and contingency into Total Development Cost, then profit measured both on cost and on gross realisation. Includes GST under the margin scheme.

Construction draw schedule

Model a construction loan drawdown stage by stage. Interest is charged only on funds drawn, so the cost builds through the project - this shows the schedule, the interest at each stage and the total capitalised interest by practical completion.

Bridging finance cost

Bridging finance covers the gap between buying and selling. The number that matters is peak debt - the total owed at the worst moment - and whether the sale clears it. This calculator models peak debt, capitalised interest and the end debt you are left with.

Commercial LVR & security

Commercial lenders apply different maximum LVRs by asset type, and often take multiple properties as security. This calculator works out the blended lending value across your security pool and whether it covers the loan you need.

Equipment finance comparison

Compare a chattel mortgage, a finance lease and an operating lease on the same asset. The repayments are often similar - what differs is who owns the asset, when you claim GST, and whether you depreciate the asset or deduct the payment.

Working capital gap

Work out your cash conversion cycle and the funding gap it creates. If you pay suppliers before your customers pay you, growth consumes cash - and the faster you grow, the bigger the hole.

Invoice finance advance

Invoice finance advances a percentage of your unpaid invoices now, and pays the balance when the customer settles. This calculator shows the cash released, the total fee and - most importantly - the effective annual rate, which is usually far higher than the headline discount rate suggests.

SMSF LRBA feasibility

An SMSF loan through a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement (LRBA) lets a self-managed super fund borrow to buy property. The fund must service the loan using rental income and super contributions alone. This calculator helps assess whether the fund's cash flow is sufficient and how much liquidity buffer remains.

Transport & equipment

Truck Finance for Owner-Drivers and Fleets

Truck finance funds prime movers, rigids, trailers and specialised transport equipment for owner-drivers and fleet operators. Our lenders fund new and used trucks, private sales and auction purchases, with terms structured around how transport businesses actually earn.

Owner-drivers and first-time buyers

Buying your first truck without years of financials is the hardest step. Non-bank lenders in the network consider ABN holders with limited trading history where the contract or work history supports the repayment.

Used trucks and private sales

Banks frequently restrict older vehicles and refuse private-sale purchases outright. Private and specialist asset lenders will fund both, assessing the asset rather than only the borrower.

Chattel mortgage or lease

A chattel mortgage lets you claim the GST credit on the purchase in your next BAS and depreciate the asset, while a lease spreads the GST across the payments. Which is cheaper depends on your cash flow and tax position.

Fleet and refinance

Existing fleets can refinance to release equity, consolidate multiple contracts onto one facility, or fund an expansion against the assets already owned.

Business finance

Business Loans, Low Doc and Bad Credit Options

Business finance through the network covers straightforward working capital through to complex secured facilities - including the situations banks decline: short trading history, impaired credit, or income that cannot be evidenced with two years of lodged returns.

Low doc business loans

Verify income with BAS statements, business bank statements or an accountant's declaration instead of full financials. Suited to businesses that are trading well but have not yet lodged returns.

Bad credit business loans

Defaults, judgments or a previous arrangement do not automatically rule you out with a private lender. Security and cash flow carry more weight than the credit file, though the rate reflects the risk.

Small business line of credit

A revolving facility you draw on as needed and repay as customers pay you - the usual answer to a cash conversion cycle where you pay suppliers before you get paid.

Secured and unsecured

Unsecured facilities settle fastest and suit smaller amounts. Secured lending against property or business assets funds larger amounts at materially lower rates.

Private Lending Questions Answered

The questions borrowers ask most often before posting a loan request.

A private lender is a non-bank lender that funds loans from its own capital or from investor funds rather than from retail deposits. Private lenders in Australia are generally faster than banks and set their own credit policy, which is why they can consider borrowers and security types a bank will not - short settlement timeframes, self-employed income, or a property still under development.

Lenders assess your income, less living expenses and existing commitments, at an interest rate 3 percentage points above the actual rate - the APRA serviceability buffer. Our borrowing power calculator runs that same test, including credit card limits and HECS-HELP, so you can see the figure a lender would arrive at before you apply.

Yes. A low doc home loan lets a self-employed borrower verify income with an accountant's declaration, BAS statements or business bank statements instead of two years of tax returns. Rates are usually higher than a full-doc loan and the maximum LVR is lower, but for a borrower with strong trading history and no recent returns lodged it is often the practical route.
