Black Mountain Financial — Strategic Capital Advisory

Industry advisory

Finance built around your practice.

We begin by understanding the practice, how it earns, its ownership structure and what the capital must support next. We then assess debt capacity, lender fit and the appropriate execution path.

Principal-led advice shaped around the business, its objectives and what comes next.

Our advisory approach

The business comes before the facility.

We hear the story, understand the objective and consider what comes next before putting numbers into a credit paper.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We begin with the business, its objectives, current position and what needs to happen next.

  2. 02

    Assess

    We then examine cash flow, debt capacity, security and the risks affecting the decision.

  3. 03

    Structure

    We shape the facility around the objective, lender fit and future funding requirements.

  4. 04

    Execute

    We prepare the credit case and manage lender engagement through credit and settlement.

What we do

Lenders that read a practice properly.

A professional practice isn't a generic small business. Its value sits in recurring fees, client relationships, goodwill and partner equity. We work with funders who understand that — and we structure the facility around it.

01

Practice acquisition

Funding to buy in, buy out a partner, or acquire a practice — valued on goodwill and recurring revenue, not just hard assets.

02

Partner & equity transitions

Structuring buy-ins, buy-outs and succession so the transition is clean and the practice keeps running.

03

Premises, fit-out & equipment

Finance for rooms, fit-out and equipment, structured against the practice's cash flow.

04

Refinance & working capital

Repricing an existing facility, consolidating debt, or freeing up working capital as the practice grows.

We're a small team working with a small number of clients at a time. The principal who structures your deal runs it through to settlement — no junior handoff.

Structure matters as much as the rate. How a facility is built — the security, the covenants, the repayment shape — decides how it serves the practice over its life, not just the headline number.

Who we work with

Firms that run on recurring revenue.

If your value sits in fees, relationships and goodwill rather than hard assets, the same principles apply. We work with professional practices across the Capital Region and Australia.

01

Accounting & advisory firms

Fee-base lending, partner buy-ins and growth capital, valued on recurring compliance and advisory income.

02

Mortgage & finance brokers

Acquisition, trail-book and working-capital funding for broking businesses — assessed on the quality of the book.

03

Legal firms & solicitors

Practice acquisition, partner transitions and premises finance for law firms.

04

Financial planning practices

Funding for advice firms with recurring-revenue and fee-base profiles.

05

Medical & allied health

GPs, specialists, dental and allied health — acquisition, fit-out and refinance.

06

Real estate agencies

Agency and rent-roll acquisition, growth and principal transitions.

Why us

Adviser, not a placement broker.

We're mandated as your adviser — not owned by a lender or an aggregator. We structure the facility around your interest, then take it to the funders most likely to back it.

01

Senior-led, every file

The principal structures the deal and runs it to settlement.

02

Wider lender access

Major banks, regional, non-bank and private credit — one broker who knows them.

03

ACT & regional NSW depth

Local lender and valuer relationships a national broker runs remotely.

04

Structure over rate

We design the capital structure around the practice, not a lender panel.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What makes financing a professional practice different?

Value sits in recurring revenue, goodwill and client relationships rather than hard assets, and many lenders undervalue that. We work with funders who assess practices on the right basis and present your numbers so the strength is clear. Any facility is subject to lender assessment.

Do you fund practice acquisitions and partner buy-ins?

Yes — acquisitions, buy-ins, buy-outs and succession transitions across medical, accounting, advice and agency practices. Terms depend on the practice, the structure and the lender.

Which professions do you work with?

Medical and allied health, accounting, financial planning, and real estate agencies, among others. If a practice runs on recurring revenue and relationships, the same principles apply.
