What we finance

The full capital stack.

We design the structure around the project, not a lender panel — so the facility works for your feasibility and your margin on exit.

01 Senior debt

Construction and site facilities structured to your feasibility.

02 Stretch senior

Higher leverage where the deal and the structure support it.

03 Mezzanine & preferred equity

To reduce the equity you tie up in a single project.

04 Residual stock & development exit

Release capital from completed stock and refinance off construction terms.

Why Black Mountain

Why developers structure debt with us.

01 The structure matters as much as the rate

How your facility is structured determines your margin on exit. We design the capital stack around the project, not a lender panel.

02 Beyond the bank's limits

When the deal sits outside a bank's appetite or above its cap, we structure across senior, stretch and mezzanine to make it work.

03 Senior-led and local

The principal structures and runs the deal, with ACT and regional NSW lender and valuer relationships behind it.

How it works

From first call to settlement.

01 Initial call

Site, feasibility, structure and fit, assessed up front.

02 Structuring view

A written approach and indicative structure within 24 hours.

03 To the right lenders

Matched to the deal, with a credit-ready submission.

04 Through to settlement

The same senior runs it to drawdown.

A deal we structured

An ACT infill developer needed funding above a major bank's exposure cap on a multi-dwelling site. We structured a senior facility with a mezzanine tranche that reduced the equity contribution from ~35% to under 20%, preserving capital for the next acquisition. Approved and settled to program.

Common questions

Before you enquire.

Frequently asked questions

Will you fund a deal with no pre-sales?

Depending on the structure, location and your track record, yes — through the right lender or a stretch/mezzanine structure. We'll tell you what's achievable on the first call.

What's the minimum deal size?

Development and complex commercial work generally starts around $1M. We're selective by design — if it's not a fit, we'll say so quickly.

How is mezzanine priced?

It depends on the senior structure, the LVR/TDC and the exit. We'll walk you through the all-in cost before you commit to anything — no surprises.

Are you independent?

Yes. We're an independent, owner-operated debt advisory practice. We're not owned by a lender or an aggregator, and we're mandated as your adviser.
