Mining finance

How do I know which loan is right for my site?

It's about the "why" behind the money. If you're buying a physical asset, equipment finance is usually the cleanest path. If you're struggling with slow-paying clients, invoice finance is your best bet. We'll walk you through the options so you can make an informed call.

What documents do I need to apply for mining finance?

It depends on the loan size and type. For lower amounts, there are options like low or no-doc loans, which require minimal paperwork. For larger facilities, you’ll typically need business tax returns, recent BAS, and a clear exit strategy for the loan.

Can I get finance for second-hand mining equipment?

Yes, though lenders generally prefer equipment under 5 years old. Older assets may still be financed but might involve different rates or shorter terms to account for the increased operational risk.

Can I get finance if my mining contract is short-term?

Yes. At Valiant, we work with specialised and alternative lenders who understand the nature of mining sub-contracts and look at your overall industry experience and asset backing instead.

How fast can I get funded?

We know that in mining, a week of downtime is a disaster. Depending on the loan type, we can often secure approvals in hours and have funds settled in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Invoice finance vs trade finance: What’s the difference?

The key difference is that invoice financing focuses primarily on domestic transactions to address immediate cash flow needs, while trade financing is designed for international or cross-border trade, allowing you to spread your costs over time while still being able to benefit from discounts and lower shipping per unit.
