Our areas of expertise

Development Finance

Build on our unrivalled connections.

Development finance is the backbone of any successful development project. Whether you're breaking ground on your first build or managing a multi-stage development, accessing the right funding at the right time is critical. Traditional lenders can be rigid, and delays in drawdowns or approval processes can put your timelines and profits at risk. That’s where Lateral Partners steps in. We tailor construction funding solutions that match the pace and scale of your project, helping you stay on schedule, unlock capital as needed, and keep your project moving forward smoothly from slab to sell.

Fantastic Experience working with Olivia on some recent projects of ours. Highly recommend Lateral Partners.

Ben did a great job on a recently completed complicated transaction for a development project. We refinanced into a construction facility. I am a repeat client having worked with Ben and his team for a number of years and consider them to be competent, hard working and smart. I recommend Lateral Partners for development funding as well as his team for mortgage broking on investment properties.

The team at Lateral Partners is truly switched on. They quickly analysed our development and secured approval for funding within a short timeframe, with excellent terms. I highly recommend them to other developers!

Ben at Lateral Partners has been nothing short of fantastic to deal with. He secured us development funding at Tier 1 bank level for our latest development at a great rate and made the whole process simple and enjoyable. This particular project was on-again off-again over the last few years due to market conditions and then Covid. Ben's willingness to help and his positive can-do attitude never faltered over the entire time, where others would have lost interest, demonstrating his commitment to his clients and their success. Do yourself a favour and get in touch with Ben and his team if you are looking for finance.

Highly recommend Lateral partners. The advice and knowledge they have, has been valuable across our business. They have great insight and efficiency on all of our lending requirements.

Thanks to Ben and the team at LP for their exceptional service and helping us with Development Finance. After using 3 other brokerage firms with no success, the team at LP helped us from start to finish. Could not recommend them anymore!
