Private Lending in Queensland (QLD)

Private lending in Queensland (QLD) is a flexible funding solution for property investors, developers, and business owners who require fast access to capital where traditional banks cannot meet timing or structural requirements.

At Innovate Funding, we arrange private and non-bank loans across Queensland, supporting transactions throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, and key regional centres. Our focus is on asset-backed lending, providing certainty of funding for time-sensitive or complex deals.

How Private Lending Is Used in Queensland

Queensland’s property market often involves:

  • Short settlement periods

  • Interstate buyers and investors

  • Regional assets where bank risk appetite is limited

  • Development and construction projects with tight timelines

Private lending is commonly used in QLD where the value of the security and the exit strategy provide stronger risk indicators than standard income servicing.

Private lenders typically assess:

  • Property type and marketability

  • Loan-to-value ratio (LVR)

  • Location and depth of the local market

  • Exit strategy, such as sale, refinance, or project completion

More guidance is available in our Private Lending Knowledge Hub.
