About Us

Why choose us

Our Story

Founded in February 2015 by Steven Sher and Gavin Solsky, we believe our entrepreneurial mindset has helped us bring a different perspective to the Australian private credit market.

We recognised that post the GFC, regulation on banks would mean borrowers would need to look for more flexible, alternative funding sources. At the same time, we saw that investors were looking for opportunities to deploy capital outside of traditional asset classes like property and shares.

We saw an opportunity to bring together our investment and entrepreneurial backgrounds to create a private credit business that could support business owners to grow without needing to deal with the bureaucracy and constraints of large banks and also avoid the need for owners to raise very expensive equity capital if bank funding was not possible.

We offer our borrower clients three core innovative financing solutions: Asset Backed Finance, Scale Up Finance and Strategic Capital. Each solution seeks to help business owners / borrowers to meet their individual funding requirements no matter the stage of the business cycle they find themselves in.

What Sets Us Apart

We are capital providers who think like business owners. We work with our borrower clients to see through complexity, to understand their specific requirements and to provide them with fast and flexible financing solutions that enable them to grow with minimal to no dilution of their ownership. We have a vested interest in seeing them be successful.

We call this our Value-Added Credit approach. It is built on five key pillars: Insights, Speed, Flexibility, Advice and Network.
