For Brokers

Your clients trust you.
Trust us to protect that.

Vía Capital is a private credit fund that operates exclusively through the broker channel. We move fast, communicate clearly, and we will never put a broker in an awkward position with their client.

Speed

Indicative terms within 24 business hours

Submit a complete deal and we'll respond with an indicative position - loan amount, LVR, term, and indicative rate range - within 24 business hours on business days. Not an acknowledgement. An actual position.

Integrity

We protect your client relationship

We know that recommending a non-bank lender puts your reputation on the line. Our commitment: we communicate every development to the broker first, we don't surprise borrowers, and we behave the way we'd want a lender to behave with our own clients.

Access

Direct line to decision-makers

Vía Capital is a principal-led fund. When you call or email about a deal, you're speaking directly to the person who read the submission and made the credit call. No relationship managers. No message-relaying. No dropped balls.

Honesty

A fast no saves everyone time

If your deal falls outside our appetite, we'll tell you clearly and promptly - usually the same day. We'll explain why, and where possible we'll suggest what would need to change for it to work. We don't string deals along.

How the process works - from enquiry to settlement.

1

Submit your deal

Use our online form to submit the deal scenario. Include the loan amount, security value, deal type, and a brief description of the scenario. The more detail you provide, the faster we can respond.

2

Indicative terms

Within 24 business hours. We'll come back with an indicative position - or a clear explanation of why the deal falls outside our appetite. No maybes.

3

Full application

If indicative terms are acceptable to your client, we'll request a full application including borrower entity documents, security details, and supporting information relevant to the deal type.

4

Credit decision

Within 48 hours of complete application. Our credit decision is made by the principals - the same people you're dealing with. We aim to issue a formal Letter of Offer within 48 hours of receiving a complete application package.

5

Documentation

On acceptance of the Letter of Offer, loan documents are prepared and issued within 48 hours. We use efficient, experienced legal panel firms.

6

Settlement

We coordinate directly with solicitors to settle. For time-critical deals, we can prioritise the documentation and settlement process.

What brokers say.

"Working with Vía Capital was genuinely different. I knew exactly where my client's deal stood at every point in the process, and they did everything they said they would."

"My client was on a tight timeline. Vía Capital had indicative terms back to me within three hours and we were settled inside two weeks."

Frequently asked questions from brokers.

Do I need to be accredited with Vía Capital before submitting a deal?
No. You can submit a deal without prior accreditation. If terms are accepted and the deal proceeds, we'll complete the accreditation process at that stage. We don't want paperwork to slow down a good deal.
How quickly will I receive indicative terms?
Within 24 business hours of a complete submission on business days. If you've provided everything we need and haven't heard within that window, call us directly.
What information do I need to include in my submission?
At minimum: borrower entity type, loan amount, security address or suburb, estimated security value, deal type, and a brief description of the scenario and exit strategy. The more detail you provide, the faster we can respond.
Will you communicate directly with my client?
Only with your knowledge and consent. We copy the broker on all material communications. We don't go around brokers.
What if my deal is unusual or doesn't fit your standard criteria?
Submit it and explain the scenario. Private credit exists precisely for deals that don't fit a template. We assess every deal on its merits - the criteria table is a guide, not a rigid gate.
Do you lend to first-time developers?
For construction finance, we require a minimum of 2 completed comparable projects. For other loan types - bridging, low doc residential, commercial - developer experience is less relevant and we assess based on the security and structure.
