In today’s complex private lending market in Australia, brokers and accountants are more than just advisors they are trusted partners, helping clients make some of their most important financial decisions. Whether it’s a business owner seeking short-term funding, a property investor needing a second mortgage, or a developer chasing a fast settlement, the role of these professionals is to align clients with the right solution.
Yet, traditional banking channels often make this harder than it needs to be. Strict lending criteria, long approval times, and limited product flexibility can prevent clients from seizing opportunities.
This is where Innovate Funding steps in. We provide brokers and accountants with access to flexible private lending solutions that give clients real options when banks say no.

Challenges Brokers and Accountants Face
The financial landscape is changing rapidly, and professionals working in lending often encounter significant obstacles:
Bank Rejections – Many borrowers with strong assets are declined by banks simply due to credit score or income verification requirements.
Regulatory Complexity – Accountants and brokers must stay compliant with changing legislation, which slows down client solutions.
Unique Funding Needs – Every client is different: SMEs may need working capital fast, while investors may need bridging loans or construction finance.
Time Sensitivity – Delays in funding can mean missed opportunities, especially in property transactions.
These challenges make it vital to have a private lending partner who can deliver quick, compliant, and customised solutions.

Case Studies: Success Through Partnership
Case Study 1: Second Mortgage for Business Cashflow
An accountant in Sydney had a client who urgently needed $200,000 to cover business cashflow. Banks rejected the application due to uneven cashflow reporting. Innovate Funding stepped in with a second mortgage at 70% LVR, giving the business the capital it needed within seven days.
Case Study 2: Bridging Loan for a Property Investor
A broker approached us on behalf of a property investor needing quick settlement funds while waiting for another property sale. We structured a bridging loan secured against existing equity, enabling the client to secure the deal without stress.
Case Study 3: Development Finance
A Melbourne-based developer required flexible funding to complete a townhouse project. Innovate Funding delivered a development loan tailored to their staged construction plan, ensuring steady cashflow until project completion.
These real-world examples demonstrate how brokers and accountants can rely on us to deliver when banks fall short.
