Company / Trust Deal Structure
Some loan applications use a Company or Trust structure, where the borrower and security owner is a Company or Trust, and the guarantors are the Company’s directors or the Trust’s beneficiaries.
This structure is similar to an SMSF deal structure. You can read more about SMSF setups here.
