Flexible funding for complex business and property transactions.

Every transaction has a story behind it. Capspace works with brokers and business borrowers to understand the objective, identify the key risks and structure funding around the opportunity. From business-purpose refinances to complex multi-property acquisitions, our approach is practical, responsive and tailored to the deal.

Exit strategyDefined short-term repayment or refinance pathway

The opportunity

A business borrower had substantial equity available in property but needed a funding solution that better matched its immediate objectives. The priority was clear: refinance existing business debt, release additional capital for business purposes and create the flexibility to progress its broader strategy.

The Capspace solution

Capspace looked beyond the security in isolation and focused on what the borrower was trying to achieve. Our team structured a short-term business facility that refinanced the existing debt and released additional capital, with terms aligned to the borrower’s timeframe and intended exit. The facility was supported by a first mortgage, General Security Agreement and personal guarantee.

The outcome

The business secured the refinance and gained access to additional capital through a practical structure tailored to the transaction. The result was greater flexibility, a defined short-term pathway and the certainty to progress its business objectives.

WHY CAPSPACE?

We focus on the objective behind the loan, then structure business-purpose funding around the transaction, timeframe and intended exit.

Portfolio Acquisition and Repositioning

Inner-city Sydney

Loan amount$2.079 million
PurposeAcquisition and repositioning of multiple strata units for an accommodation business
SecurityMultiple property securities
LVR70%
RepaymentsInterest only, with an initial capitalised period
Exit strategyRefinance following leasing and portfolio stabilisation

The opportunity

An experienced property investor identified a rare opportunity to acquire multiple strata units within the same inner-city complex. Bringing the properties together created a stronger portfolio opportunity, but the transaction required a lender comfortable assessing multiple securities as one connected strategy.

The Capspace solution

Rather than assessing each property in isolation, Capspace considered the portfolio as a whole. Our team worked through the acquisition structure, proposed leasing pathway and refinance exit, then structured funding across multiple securities to support the broader business objective.

The outcome

The investor completed the portfolio acquisition and progressed its post-settlement repositioning strategy. With a pathway to prepare and lease the units before refinancing the stabilised portfolio, the facility provided the flexibility needed to turn a multi-property opportunity into a cohesive investment strategy.

WHY CAPSPACE?

When an opportunity spans multiple properties, we assess how the pieces work together and structure the facility around the broader transaction strategy.

Structured Funding for a Complex Property Strategy

Inner-city Sydney

Loan amount$5 million
PurposeMulti-property acquisition and repositioning for business purposes
SecurityMultiple property titles
LVR70%
RepaymentsInterest only
Exit strategyRefinance following leasing and portfolio stabilisation

The commercial challenge

This was not a standard property transaction. It involved multiple titles, a specialist accommodation use, detailed leasing assumptions and a clearly defined bank refinance exit. The challenge was to bring those moving parts together in a structure that remained well considered and aligned with the borrower’s longer-term strategy.

The Capspace approach

Capspace took an end-to-end view of the opportunity. Our team considered the borrower’s experience, the business purpose of the acquisition, the leasing strategy and the pathway to a stabilised portfolio. The facility was structured around the acquisition and proposed refinance rather than forcing the transaction into a standard lending template.

The outcome

The facility bridged the gap between acquisition and longer-term business finance. It allowed the borrower to secure the properties, progress the broader portfolio strategy and work toward a stabilised, income-producing asset base with a defined refinance pathway.

WHY CAPSPACE?

We combine practical thinking with a clear view of risk, helping brokers and business borrowers navigate transactions that require more than a standard lending response.
