1. New Requirements

Every stage of growth brings new funding requirements, here’s how we help.

  • We strengthen liquidity with smarter working capital facilities and trade finance solutions that align with cash flow cycles. From inventory and debtor funding to import/export lines, we ensure your business has the financing headroom to cater for working capital shortfalls.

  • We help mid market businesses secure the capital they need to make successful acquisitions. For acquisitions, management often needs to move fast and bid with confidence, so having funding lined up early is essential. Because many acquisitions involve paying goodwill, our cash flow and balance sheet backed financing expertise becomes a critical ingredient in securing the right facility and closing the deal.

  • When financing shareholder buyouts, banks have specific requirements from a credit perspective that needs addressing. Our experience allows smooth transitions to new ownership, paving the way for growth and success.

  • We arrange funding for your capital expenditure plans, whether it is vehicles, civil and earthmoving equipment, manufacturing equipment or more bespoke requirements. Our asset finance expertise and cash flow skills allow you to structure funding appropriately and put forward a compelling investment case to the bank.

  • From owner-occupied premises to investment portfolios, we secure funding that complements your property and business strategy with the right balance of leverage, term, and flexibility.

  • Whether scaling across Australia or entering new global markets, we arrange funding structures that support growth beyond borders managing foreign operations, currency exposure, and working capital needs.

  • We help structure and secure bank guarantee facilities that support trading relationships, contracts, and performance obligations  without overcommitting core security or working capital. Our goal is to balance convenience with capital efficiency.

We help clients review, restructure, and renegotiate their existing facilities to make their banking truly work for them

  • We assess your current facilities against market standards to ensure pricing, covenants, and structures remain competitive. Our benchmarking gives you a clear picture of where your banking stands and where improvements can be made.

  • We negotiate with banks and lenders to secure lower margins and better overall pricing. By presenting your business through a strong credit lens, we help you achieve rates that reflect your true performance.

  • We help businesses reduce their reliance on property-backed lending by shifting focus toward cash flow and business fundamentals. The outcome, greater flexibility, less personal exposure, and funding that grows with you.

  • When your business has evolved, your banking should too. We arrange refinances that deliver sharper pricing, more flexibility, and improved alignment with your future plans. If a different bank is a better fit for you, we arrange that.

  • We identify opportunities to strengthen your banking terms  from covenant structures to review cycles. The goal is simple: ensure your facilities support your strategy, not constrain it.

Funding solutions for complex situations.

When challenges arise, we help good businesses navigate through them with structured funding solutions that cater for the normal ups and downs of business.

  • When businesses go through a temporary dip in financial performance, accessing finance can be hard. By telling your story better we help banks better understand your future performance and access the funding to fuel your turnaround.

  • ATO debt is viewed negatively at banks. But not all ATO debt is bad. By providing the narrative and helping banks understand why the future looks different, we have been able to help businesses refinance ATO debt and secure their future.

  • From shareholder exits to legal settlements, one-off events can strain liquidity. We arrange bespoke funding solutions that manage immediate needs while keeping long-term goals intact.

  • Group entities, trusts, intercompany loans, or layered security positions we specialise in navigating complexity. Our credit expertise and lender relationships allow us to structure facilities that fit intricate ownership and operational frameworks.

  • Not every funding requirement fits a standard bank template. We specialise in structuring solutions that satisfy credit criteria while working beyond rigid lending boundaries. Our credit expertise and strong banking relationships give clients access to better options and consistently stronger outcomes.
