Childcare Operator: Refinance & Debt Restructure

Childcare Debt Restructure Working Capital
$23M

$23M refinance and debt restructure for a childcare operator expanding nationally. Incumbent facilities had become misaligned with the business trajectory — amortising debt and limited liquidity were suppressing growth. A strategic restructure reset the balance sheet and unlocked $2M in annual cashflow.

  • $2M annual cashflow uplift through interest-only conversion and doubled notional repayment capacity
  • New working capital line to fund rollout of additional centres and support a national footprint
  • Facility secured solely against leasehold business interest — preserving capital for growth
  • Lightened covenant settings, providing operational flexibility and stability

Roof Plumbing Supplier: Commercial Property & Restructure

Commercial Property Working Capital Debt Restructure
$17M

100% funding secured for an owner-occupied commercial property acquisition, with credit-endorsed terms from a major and second-tier lender within 24 hours. The incumbent bank was too slow and wedded to traditional LVR metrics — approval was achieved on FY25 management financials and forecast.

  • 100% funding for owner-occupied commercial property — no equity contribution required
  • Credit-endorsed terms from two lenders within 24 hours, including a major bank
  • Approved on FY25 management financials and forecast, bypassing traditional LVR constraints
  • Capex lines and working capital solutions arranged alongside the property facility
  • Full removal of facility covenants and conditions

Specialised Asset Portfolio: Purchase & Refinance

Specialised Commercial Private Credit Purchase + Refinance
$16M

Two specialised assets for a single operator, structured at 70% LVR with a non-panel valuation accepted by the lender, above the market default for specialised commercial assets.

  • 70% LVR on specialised assets, exceeding the typical 50–60% market position
  • Non-panel valuation accepted, reflecting the true underlying asset value
  • Positioned around operator strategy and exit in the private credit market

Hospitality Venue: Debt Restructure & Working Capital

Hospitality Debt Restructure Working Capital
$4.4M

Three competitive term sheets secured within one week for a hospitality group carrying covenant pressure constraining growth. Extended tenor, covenant removal and $500K+ p.a. in cashflow relief delivered.

E-Commerce Wholesale Working Capital
$3M

  • $2M refinance of existing trade facilities plus $1M increase in new limits
  • Clean, low-covenant structure aligned with how the group actually operates
  • Placed with a relationship-focused lender suited to multi-entity complexity

Dental Practice: Refinance & Balance Sheet Reset

Healthcare Refinance Debt Restructure
$2.7M

Refinance of a $2.7M facility for a leading dental practitioner, unlocking $200K in annual cashflow and positioning the practice for future acquisitions. The client was constrained by a second-tier lender with restrictive covenants and high P&I repayments.

  • Transition from P&I to interest-only repayments — 50% boost in annual cashflow
  • Approved without valuations, on FY24 tax returns and FY25 management financials
  • Full covenant removal and payout of outstanding ATO debt
  • Security structured across owner-occupied commercial property and going concern value

Residual Stock Refinance: Pre-Subdivision

Residual Stock Private Credit Refinance
$2.16M

Eight completed townhouses refinanced on a single title prior to subdivision registration. Valuation accepted on subdivided market value before titles were issued. Approval in one week after months of unsuccessful attempts elsewhere.

  • Cash-out structured to fund outstanding subdivision costs
  • Boutique private credit lender with flexibility to assess the asset on its merits

Skin Clinic: SMSF Acquisition & Fit-Out

SMSF Commercial Growth Finance
$1.85M

A leading skin clinic came seeking fit-out funding. A broader advisory conversation uncovered an SMSF acquisition opportunity, converting an operating cost into a long-term wealth creation asset inside super, while separately funding business growth.

  • $1.05M SMSF commercial loan to acquire own premise, tax-advantaged wealth creation
  • $800K fit-out facility funded externally against the business, keeping the SMSF clean
