In a nutshell
Newcastle Permanent and Greater Bank are the two brands of Newcastle Greater Mutual Group, a customer-owned bank based in the Hunter. They offer business loans secured by residential or commercial property, including for development and construction, and business lines of credit secured by property or a term deposit, with local business banking specialists.
Newcastle Permanent and Greater Bank merged to form Newcastle Greater Mutual Group Ltd, a customer-owned bank holding AFSL and Australian Credit Licence 238273. Both brands continue to operate, with local business banking teams that know the Hunter market.
Their business loans can be secured by residential or commercial property and suit development and construction as well as general business needs. Business lines of credit help with short-term cash flow, with a monthly facility fee and interest charged only on the balance used, secured by property or a term deposit.

Non-bank lenders are the main alternative. They usually cost more than a bank, but they can often decide and fund within days, need less paperwork, offer unsecured loans without property security, and have fewer restrictive conditions. Private lenders can move quickly against property.
A decline from Newcastle Permanent and Greater Bank doesn't mean other lenders will say no. Non-bank and private lenders use different criteria, and some lend to businesses with shorter trading histories, imperfect credit or ATO debt.
