Our services
Finance and advisory, done properly.
Whatever your business needs, from your first loan to your next fleet of trucks, we bring the knowledge, the network and the hard work to get the right outcome.
Business lending strategy
Ben spent two decades inside banks, so he knows how a financier assesses a business. He helps you prepare an application that answers the lender's questions before they're asked, and works to get the most out of the banks for you.
Equipment and asset finance
Trucks, machinery and equipment, structured properly. We know the finance and the equipment inside out, and we keep dealerships and their salespeople informed from application to settlement.
Cash flow and working capital
Long project cycles and slow payers can squeeze a healthy business. We help you understand your cash cycle and put the right facilities in place to smooth it out.
Your advisory network
The right accountant, broker, financier or legal adviser can change the outcome. Ben connects you with trusted partners from his network across Australia, matched to your situation.
Recovery after a setback
A declined application, a cash crunch or a tough year doesn't have to define your business. We work out what went wrong, what lenders need to see, and the path back.
Growth and business planning
From first-time borrowers to established operators, we help you plan the next stage with a finance approach, the right business partners and a clear plan behind it.

Questions
Ask us anything
How much does a consult cost?
General consultation is charged at a daily rate from $1,000 plus GST. Longer projects can be quoted at a fixed fee once we've done the initial consult.
Which industries do you work with?
All industries, with deep experience in transport, civil construction, manufacturing and wholesale, services to mining, agriculture and equipment suppliers.
Can you help if the bank has already said no?
