How it works for Darwin businesses

The asset is the conversation. Drop it at Winnellie.

If the banks won't move because of ATO debt, slow paperwork or a credit hit, we look at the asset instead. Drop it at the Lloyds facility on Stuart Highway. We fund the same day once it's secured.

ABL is a private commercial lender for businesses that need to move fast. We don't run credit checks, we don't ask for financials, and we don't take personal guarantees. The asset you bring secures the loan. That's the whole assessment.

Our Darwin work runs through the Lloyds Auctions facility at 504 Stuart Highway, Winnellie NT 0820. Winnellie is Darwin's industrial heartland, right on Stuart Highway alongside Berrimah, East Arm Port and the broader industrial precinct. The facility handles valuations and storage for clients across Palmerston, Howard Springs, Humpty Doo and down the Stuart Highway corridor to Katherine.

Loans run from $20,000 to $1 million on terms of 1 to 9 months. Term sheet within 2 hours. Same-day settlement once the asset is secured. Repay anytime after month one and the asset comes back to you.

If you want the full picture of how this works as a category, see our guide to asset-based lending. Or call us. Most situations get sorted in a ten-minute conversation.

When Darwin businesses call us

The situations we see every week.

Four scenarios where dropping an asset at Winnellie gets you funded the same day, when the banks have already said no.

Asset Based Lending for ATO tax debt
01

ATO tax debt

BAS bills, GST arrears, or a sudden tax bill. Banks freeze when they see ATO debt on file. We don't credit check. See how we handle tax debt.

Asset Based Lending for Director Penalty Notice
02

Director Penalty Notice

21 days to respond before personal liability kicks in. Banks can't move that fast. We can. DPN response funding.

Asset Based Lending for emergency business funding
03

Urgent cash flow

Payroll Friday. Supplier won't release stock. A deal closes this week. Drop the asset Monday, funded by close of business. Emergency funding.

Asset Based Lending for short-term bridge funding
04

Bridge funding

Settlement gap. Deal timing. A 1 to 9 month fix while you sort the next stage. Bridge funding.

Why this works

The asset is the assessment.

Other lenders use your credit file as a proxy for how risky you are. We hold the asset until the loan's repaid. If repayment falls over, the asset clears the loan. Your credit history doesn't change the maths. That's why this works for businesses banks have already turned away.

No credit checks, no credit enquiry lodged
Defaults, missed payments, DPNs all fine
No financials, no BAS, no tax returns
No personal guarantees or director PGs
No property required as security
Same-day settlement once the asset is secured at Winnellie

Meet the ABL team

We're here to help.

A specialist team that moves fast and gets to a yes when banks can't. Managing Director Steve Heavey walks through how it works and who it's built for.

  • Australia's cash-out solution specialist. We lend against the assets you already own. Fast, asset-led, no credit checks.
  • Traditional business loans assess your trading history, financials and credit. ABL assesses one thing: the value of your asset. So we can move in hours, not weeks.
  • Tax debt, payroll pressure, supplier deadlines, or a settlement gap. Anywhere a business is asset-rich but cash-poor and time matters.
  • You could, but it wouldn't be as fast and you'd be doing it under fire-sale conditions. With ABL you get funding when you need it without being forced to sell your asset under pressure.
  • We work with you on options. If repayment isn't possible, we sell the asset to clear the loan and return any surplus to you.

Darwin questions

What Darwin businesses ask us.

If yours isn't here, give us a call. Most situations get sorted in a ten-minute conversation.

Where do I drop the asset?

Lloyds Auctions, 504 Stuart Highway, Winnellie NT 0820. It's the Darwin facility that handles valuation and secure storage for ABL clients across the Top End. Open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.

What if I'm not close to Winnellie?

We can arrange transport. Most clients across Berrimah, East Arm, Palmerston, Howard Springs, Humpty Doo and the Darwin metropolitan area drive the asset to Winnellie themselves. If that's not workable, talk to us, we'll work out logistics.

Can I keep using the asset instead of storing it?

Yes. If the asset's a working vehicle or piece of machinery you need on the job, we fit GPS tracking and you keep using it. Same-day funding, asset stays in service. This works well for cattle stations, construction crews and mining services operations that can't afford the asset off-site.

Do you serve businesses outside Darwin?

Yes. Winnellie is our only Northern Territory facility, so clients from across the Top End can either drive the asset in or we can help arrange transport. We've handled funding for businesses in Katherine, the Tiwi Islands, Kakadu and the Stuart Highway corridor across defence contracting, mining services, cattle stations, construction, oil and gas, fishing and tourism. Talk to us about the logistics, we'll work it out.

Do you really not run a credit check?

No, really. We don't pull a credit file to assess and we don't lodge an enquiry. The loan is approved purely on asset value. Your credit file isn't touched by applying, borrowing or repaying.

What about ATO debt or a DPN?

Both common reasons clients come to us. ATO debt and Director Penalty Notices are red flags for banks but they don't change the loan with ABL. Many Top End clients use this to clear ATO debt fast and stop the pressure before enforcement escalates.

How fast is “same day” really?

Term sheet within 2 hours of enquiry. Once the asset is at Winnellie and the valuation's done, funding lands in your account that business day. Typical timeline from first call to funds is 24 to 48 hours. Our record is 6 hours.
Darwin. Asset secured. Cash out. Asset back.

Drop it at Winnellie. Funded that day.

If you own an asset and need funds fast, we can talk you through it on the phone in under ten minutes. No commitment, no credit check, no paperwork to gather first.
