How many development finance lenders would fund your project?
Development finance is the most fragmented corner of the Australian lending market — banks, specialist construction funds, private credit and non-bank lenders all run different appetite on loan size, geography, project type, leverage and pre-sales. Lender Match checks your project profile against the published criteria of the development lenders researched on the LenderBridge panel and shows you how many fit, instantly.

Your project profile
Important information
This is general information only, not credit assistance, a recommendation, a loan offer, or a quote. Lender Match counts the lenders whose published criteria fit the project profile you enter. It does not assess your circumstances, compare costs, or suggest that any particular lender or product is suitable for you. Consider your circumstances and seek advice before acting.
Lender Match covers business-purpose development and construction finance only. It is not for consumer credit, including an individual borrowing in their own name to buy, build or renovate residential investment property. If that is your situation, speak to a licensed mortgage broker or lender.
Matching runs against lending criteria researched from published lender material as at May 2026. Where a lender has not published a criterion, the lender is included rather than excluded, so your actual lender set may be smaller once full criteria are applied. Every lender makes its own assessment and may decline or reprice a project that appears to match.
LenderBridge connects borrowers and lenders and may receive a fee from a lender if an introduction leads to a settled facility. Any such fee is paid by the lender, not charged to you. LenderBridge is pursuing its credit licence pathway. Nothing here is, or should be taken as, licensed credit assistance.
Finding development finance in Australia
Development and construction finance doesn't work like home lending. The market splits across major banks, specialist construction and development funds, private credit funds and non-bank lenders — each with its own appetite on loan size, state, metro versus regional, project type, leverage against cost and end value, and pre-sales. A project one lender declines on day one is squarely inside another's mandate.
Lender Match maps your project profile against the published criteria of the development lenders researched on the LenderBridge panel, so you can see in seconds how much of the market is genuinely open to a project like yours.
Common questions
How does Lender Match work?
You enter your development project profile — purpose, project type, state, loan amount and key ratios — and the tool checks it against the published lending criteria of the development lenders researched on the LenderBridge panel. It shows how many lenders match and the categories they sit in.
Which kinds of development finance does it cover?
Senior and stretch-senior construction, site and land acquisition, total land-plus-construction facilities, residual stock loans and commercial development finance, across all Australian states and territories.
Does Lender Match recommend a lender?
No. It is factual information only — it counts the lenders whose published criteria fit the project profile you enter. It does not assess your situation, recommend a lender or product, or provide credit assistance.
