2nd Mortgage

2nd Mortgage

Access equity in a property without disturbing the first mortgage already sitting on it. A second mortgage ranks behind your existing lender, so you keep the rate and terms you already have while unlocking additional funds against the same security.
It suits business owners who don't want to reopen a negotiation with their current lender just to get access to capital that's already sitting in the property.

  • Suited to business capital, tax debt or project funding

Common business uses

A second mortgage is often the more practical option when your first mortgage is on good terms and refinancing it would mean losing that rate or paying it out early. Businesses use it to:
  • Inject working capital during a slow trading period or a seasonal gap in cash flow
  • Fund a specific contract, project or piece of equipment where the return arrives later than the cost
  • Cover GST or other tax obligations without pulling cash out of day to day operations
  • Consolidate higher cost business debts into a single, more manageable facility
  • Free up equity for growth without touching a first mortgage that's already working well
