What a Temporary Capital Buffer Actually Does
A temporary capital buffer is simple: you unlock equity you already hold, use it to smooth short-term volatility, then exit cleanly once the event passes. A second mortgage sits behind your first mortgage and releases cash without disturbing your primary banking relationship. You maintain control, protect core operations, and keep options open.
Why a Second Mortgage for Capital Buffer Makes Sense
- Speed and certainty: When timing matters, a second mortgage can deliver same day settlement or funding within 24 hours where documentation is ready. That can be the difference between an urgent settlement achieved and an opportunity missed.
- Keep your main facilities intact: You don’t need to refinance your first mortgage or reset long-term terms just to solve a short-term need.
- Use funds where they matter: Working capital, supplier discounts, inventory purchases, payroll smoothing, progress payments, tax obligations, or bridging into a larger facility.
- Targeted timeframes: Terms can be matched to the event—weeks to a few months—so you’re not paying for a facility you don’t need.
- Straightforward security: You can leverage residential or commercial property as collateral/security. We don’t accept other obscure assets as collateral.
Common Situations Where a Temporary Capital Buffer Helps
- You’re purchasing stock at a discount and need quick liquidity to secure it.
- A settlement date is approaching and the incoming funds are a few weeks behind.
- A project requires a final progress payment before bank drawdown.
- A receivable is certain but late; payroll and suppliers must stay on track.
- You’re preparing for a refinance and want stability through valuation and due diligence.
How We Structure Second Mortgages for Stability and Exit
We review your objective first: what the buffer is covering, for how long, and your preferred exit (incoming receivable, asset sale, refinance, or scheduled draw). Then we structure:
- Facility size aligned to your equity and need, with capacity to borrow up to $10million depending on security and LVR.
- Terms that match the window you need covered.
- Clear exit mapping so you’re not paying longer than necessary.
- Documentation and coordination designed for urgent, emergency timeframes when required.
Transparent Costs and What to Expect
We price for speed and clarity, with an interest rate of 11.95% in many scenarios, subject to security position, LVR, risk, and term. Because this is a short-term, event-driven solution, total cost is managed by keeping the facility tight and the exit defined. We confirm fees upfront and coordinate settlement to your timetable.
