I'm a specialist commercial finance broker with 16 years of experience helping Australian business owners access commercial property finance. As founder of Smart Business Plans, I've overseen $550 million in commercial finance across more than 3,300 clients, with a 92% approval rate working across a panel of 60+ specialist lenders. My expertise sits at the intersection of commercial property, business finance, and wealth strategy — particularly for small to medium business owners looking to buy their own premises, invest through their SMSF, or fund development projects. I work exclusively in the commercial space, which means I specialise where the major banks often can't or won't go. I'm also the author of The Premise Effect (2026), which makes the case for why Australian business owners are leaving millions on the table by renting rather than owning their business premises. I'm available to comment on: commercial property finance, SMSF borrowing, business lending, commercial mortgage rates, Australian property market trends, and small business wealth building.

I'm the founder and editor of ClearLegalTips, a legal-information site publishing plain-English DIY guides, free fillable legal templates, and state-by-state data tables — LLC filing fees, estate tax, and security-deposit rules — each row verified against the state's own statute or agency site. I can provide sourced, current numbers and practical context on small-business formation, landlord-tenant rules, and estate planning basics. I'm not an attorney and don't give legal advice; I verify what the law says and explain it in plain English.
