Funding that fits
how your business actually runs.

Cash tied up in stock or unpaid invoices? Equipment to buy, or another business to acquire? We match you to the right lender from a panel of 100+ — and a principal handles it start to finish, not a call centre.

What we do

Capital structured around how your business runs.

We work with SMEs to build funding that flexes with your operating cycle. Working capital, term debt, equipment finance — packaged so you have the flexibility to operate and grow, without over-leveraging or paying for facilities you don't need.

We model serviceability before any lender does. Lenders see a professional credit submission, not financials thrown together. And if the numbers don't support the borrowing, we'll tell you when not to borrow. Based in Canberra, connected nationally.

01

Understand your business

Revenue cycles, margin profile, growth plans, capital requirements. This informs everything we do.

02

Model your serviceability

Detailed cash flow models that demonstrate your ability to service debt — presented the way credit teams want to read them.

03

Structure the right facilities

A package giving you room to operate and grow. Not too much, not too little — matched to your cash flow.

04

Manage covenants and reviews

We help you understand what covenants mean, monitor compliance, and negotiate adjustments when circumstances change.

What we arrange

Funding solutions.

01

Working capital & cash flow

Overdrafts, invoice finance, and trade finance structured around your operating cycle — not the bank's.

02

Equipment & vehicle finance

Chattel mortgages, finance leases, and rental arrangements for business assets. Matched to useful life and cash flow.

03

Expansion & acquisition funding

Growth capital for new locations, competitor acquisitions, or management buyouts. Structured to survive the transition.

04

Debtor & inventory finance

Release cash tied up in receivables and stock. Turns your balance sheet into a working capital facility.

05

Fit-out & refurbishment finance

Fund premises improvements without draining working capital. Structured to match the productive life of the improvements.

06

Contract & project finance

Funding to deliver on large contracts or project-based work. Drawdown structures matched to milestones.

How we work

A relationship, not a transaction.

Business finance doesn't end at settlement. As your business grows, your funding needs evolve — and so should your facilities. We stay engaged to make sure your debt supports your ambitions instead of constraining them.

We're a small team working with a small number of clients. That means we know your file, your covenants, and your next move before you call.

01

Access appropriate lenders

From major banks to specialist business lenders, we know who's active in your industry and how to present your business to match their appetite.

02

Prepare the submission first

We build the credit submission before approaching lenders. For clean acquisitions, that means indicative terms within 48 hours.

03

Structure to fit

Working capital, term debt, equipment finance — combined so each facility does its job without overlap or waste.

04

Plan for what's next

As you grow, we revisit the structure. Facilities should keep pace with the business, not hold it back.

Lender network

Matched to the right credit appetite.

We hold active relationships with lenders writing business debt across Australia — matching each transaction to the institution with the right appetite for your industry and stage.

Major Banks

For established businesses with strong trading history and clean financials. Typically the most competitive pricing for straightforward transactions.

Specialist Lenders

For unique profiles — high growth, industry-specific assets, or non-standard revenue models. Often more pragmatic and faster to approve.

Private Credit

For complex situations — acquisitions, turnarounds, or growth plays that don't fit traditional credit boxes. Higher cost, but often the right solution at the right time.
