Transactions
A selection of recently completed debt advisory mandates.
Childcare Operator: Refinance & Debt Restructure
$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
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
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
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.
- $500K+ p.a. cashflow uplift through extended tenor and repayment restructure
- Covenant removal, providing operational flexibility and balance sheet reset
- Increased working capital to fund immediate growth initiatives

$3M in working capital facilities across three businesses in e-commerce and building supply wholesale. Refinanced away from a major bank after months of stalled conversations, with credit-endorsed terms within one week.

- 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
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
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.
- 75% LVR against subdivided market value of $2,885,000, accepted pre-title registration
- 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
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
