Borrower Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What security is required for caveat finance?

Funding is secured by a registered mortgage or caveat over real property. The security position (first or second mortgage) and loan-to-value ratio depend on the asset, the transaction and your exit strategy.

What documents will I need to provide?

Typically we ask for a current property valuation, certificate of title, details of any existing finance, and information that supports your exit strategy. We confirm the exact document list after reviewing your enquiry.

How quickly can caveat finance be arranged?

Timing depends on the asset, the security structure and how complete your documentation is. Private credit can often be arranged more quickly than conventional bank finance, but we provide an indicative timeframe only after reviewing your situation.

Is caveat finance suitable for my situation?

These solutions may suit business owners, company directors, property investors and self-employed borrowers whose circumstances make standard bank finance difficult — for example, complex ownership structures, tax-effective income, or cross-border assets.

Does Private Credit AI lend directly?

Private Credit AI helps arrange and connect borrowers with asset-backed private credit solutions. We are not a deposit-taking institution, and any facility is subject to the security, due diligence and terms agreed with the relevant capital provider.

What are the next steps to enquire?

Submit an enquiry via our contact page or start an application. We review your situation and outline indicative options before any valuation or due diligence begins.
