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.

How does long-term investment shape mining activity in Perth?

Perth’s mining sector is underpinned by long-term investment cycles, which create consistent demand for contractors and supporting services. That stability supports planning but requires businesses to scale capacity carefully. Business loans in Perth are commonly used for equipment investment and operational scaling.

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.
