Knote is Melbourne’s trusted direct lender for business owners, entrepreneurs, and local investors who need fast access to capital, especially when the banks say no. We help you secure funding for deals, bridge finance gaps, and unlock cash flow using the equity you already hold.
Gap funding covers the difference between what a bank will lend and what your project actually needs as per the fast-moving and competitive business and property market. As a leading provider of gap funding in Melbourne, Knote offers quick, secure lending by leveraging your existing property or asset equity, making it ideal for tight deadlines, unexpected costs, or urgent opportunities.
We provide fast, flexible short-term loans backed by second mortgages, same-day first mortgage solutions, or caveat loans across Melbourne. Gap funding is perfect for urgent settlements, business purchases, bridging finance, releasing equity for growth, and taking advantage of rapid commercial or property opportunities.
We back opportunities that traditional banks reject by using business or property assets as security. With private lending in Melbourne designed for speed and flexibility, Knote provides practical solutions through first mortgages, second mortgages, caveat loans, and straightforward, commonsense lending.
We provide quick approvals, a simple process, and funding in 24–48 hours, because your time and goals matter.
