Investing in Australian business
For years, banks have kept the commercial loan market to themselves. Commercial business loans are one of the banks most profitable lending divisions, often backed by securities giving greater protection on invested capital.
Bigstone is making this asset class available to you so you can make returns while supporting Australian SMEs.
All returns are before losses and we recommend diversifying across a variety of loans.
Wealth test – sophisticated investors
This test requires the investor to have:
- net assets of at least $2.5 million or
- a gross income for each of the last two financial years of at least $250,000.

Professional investors
This exemption largely covers large institutional and specialised investment organisations. We will require you to complete a declaration that you are a professional investor, and we will carry out further due diligence to confirm that fact. Download our professional investor declaration here.
Investment size
You will also be a wholesale client if you invest at least $500,000. Please contact us if you wish to qualify under this class.
Large businesses
This category applies if your investment is to be used in connection with a business that employs at least 20 employees – or at least 100 employees if the business is or includes the manufacture of goods.
While no investment is without its risks, the safety and security of our investors’ capital is a top priority.
Provision fund
All investors in Bigstone loans have access to a provision fund equal to 2% of the deployed capital in every loan. This isolated fund acts as a first loss fund for all investors.
We co-invest with you
Bigstone co-invests 1-5% of the loan amount, so that our principal is at risk in each loan with our investors. We think about it as putting our “skin in the game”.
Our credit and approval processes have been designed to limit defaults and losses and protect investors’ capital; we target losses less than 2%.
Enhanced diversification
Let the mandate fund portions of all loans or determine your personal preferences when it comes to loan selection.
