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 founded Commercial Funding Partners in 2012 with a clear mission: build a performing portfolio of customers who return because we treat them right and help them grow responsibly. After six years at a competitor and seeing how customers were often handled at deal end, I knew there was a better way to do business in commercial equipment finance. We’re a national direct lender with capacity from $250,000 to over $100 million per project, serving manufacturers, contractors, healthcare providers, transportation companies, and others across the U.S. What sets us apart is speed paired with judgment. Our small, senior-level finance committee allows us to make decisions quickly—often the same day—and months faster than SBA processes, where time value often outweighs minor rate differences. We listen to the story behind the balance sheet and underwrite context, not just numbers. We structure real-world solutions through progress funding, 100% project financing, sale-leasebacks, and tax-aware terms that banks often can’t provide. We don’t do deals we wouldn’t sign ourselves. Over 40% of our business comes from repeat clients, many with long-standing relationships that improve with each transaction. I’m active in industry leadership with ELFA, NEFA, and AACFB, where I chaired the Education Committee for four years and received the President’s Award. Before CFP, I worked at IBM and helped manage and grow Plumbers Supply Company through its acquisition by Wolseley. I hold a BS from the University of Utah and an MBA from Westminster College. Our goal is simple: be the first call for our customers and help great businesses grow smarter and faster.

I am an Institutional Debt Market Architect with more than 17 years of experience designing the valuation, liquidity, and recovery protocols that banks, credit unions, fintech lenders, and private credit funds rely on to make high-stakes decisions. I’ve advised on, analyzed, or helped broker over $100 billion in performing and non-performing receivables across consumer, commercial, auto, BNPL, mortgage, and specialty finance asset classes. My work sits at the intersection of portfolio valuation, lending risk, distressed-asset strategy, and AI-driven recovery intelligence. I help institutions understand the true condition of their receivables, uncover hidden risk, and translate complex credit dynamics into clear, actionable decisions. When lenders need to determine whether to hold, recover, restructure, or sell an asset, I’m the person they call. As Director of Portfolio Liquidity & Asset Disposition at Fitzgerald Advisors, I architect and execute loan-sale strategies, oversee due diligence, and structure NPL and charged-off debt transactions that maximize proceeds while maintaining regulatory integrity. I also build the technology that powers modern receivables strategy. I created Debt Catalyst, an AI-driven valuation and liquidation-curve engine used by professional debt buyers and investors. I developed Bank Watch Pro, a real-time intelligence platform that interprets FDIC and NCUA call-report data to identify institutional credit risk, NPL trends, charge-off exposure, and early-warning indicators. Across my ventures, I focus on one mission: turning distressed receivables, delinquency, and charge-offs into liquidity, clarity, and competitive advantage for financial institutions. I provide expert commentary on: Distressed portfolio valuation & credit-risk analysis NPL and charged-off debt sales Fintech lending trends & BNPL credit performance Bank & credit union financial health (FDIC/NCUA analytics) AI in collections, segmentation, and liquidation modeling Regulatory and compliance implications in debt markets I don’t follow the debt markets — I architect them. And I use that experience to help lenders, investors, and agencies make smarter, faster, and more profitable decisions.

David Sapper is a U.S.-based entrepreneur, small business consultant, and merchant services strategist specializing in payment processing economics, profit optimization, and scalable consulting models for small and mid-sized businesses. He is the founder of BlueFinch Advisors, a consulting and merchant services firm focused on helping business owners reduce hidden costs, increase margins, and build more resilient businesses. David’s work centers on a core but often misunderstood issue in small business: payment processing. Most small businesses operate on net margins of roughly 7–12%, yet common default processors—such as Square, Stripe, and bank-issued merchant accounts—typically charge 3–4% of gross revenue. In practice, this means payment processing alone can consume 30–50% of a business’s actual profit. David helps business owners understand this math clearly and implement compliant strategies, including surcharge and cash-discount models, to dramatically reduce or eliminate processing costs. Through BlueFinch Advisors, David works primarily with card-heavy and service-based industries such as auto repair, med spas, aesthetics clinics, specialty services, and other growth-oriented small businesses. His approach goes beyond rate comparisons. He treats payments as part of a larger profitability system that includes pricing structure, checkout friction, customer behavior, and operational efficiency. David is known for a consulting-first model that aligns incentives between advisor and client. Rather than charging retainers, his firm provides ongoing business consulting, audits, competitive analysis, and access to a proprietary performance dashboard as part of the payment processing relationship. This structure allows David to focus on long-term business growth rather than short-term transactional wins. With a background spanning entrepreneurship, operations, and systems design, David is frequently consulted on topics such as small business profitability, payment processing strategy, surcharge compliance, cost reduction, and scalable advisory models. His work emphasizes transparency, practical execution, and measurable outcomes—helping business owners keep more of what they earn while building businesses that can scale responsibly.

I'm a credit officer who happens to think like a deal-maker. After 34 years in credit, mortgage, and equipment finance, I've learned that the best financing solutions come from understanding both the numbers and the business behind them. As Chief Credit Officer and President of Equipment Leases at Commercial Funding Partners, I lead credit and underwriting operations for a portfolio that's grown from $15 million to nearly $100 million annually, with clear sight lines to $300 million. My role sits at the intersection of rigorous credit analysis and flexible deal structuring, which means I spend my days solving financing challenges that traditional banks simply can't accommodate. Here's what that looks like in practice: We fund 100% of equipment projects so companies can preserve working capital. We manage vendor deposits and progress payments directly, including international transactions in euros, removing cash flow strain during long equipment builds. We structure deals for clients who've hit exposure limits with their banks, allowing them to maintain those banking relationships while still accessing the capital they need to grow. Most of our transactions range from $250,000 to $25 million and support revenue-generating equipment in manufacturing, construction, pharmaceuticals, and other industries where the right asset makes the difference between winning a contract and walking away from it. We typically approve leases in 10 to 14 days, and even complex, multi-million-dollar deals close within a few weeks. What sets our approach apart is the team mentality. Clients don't get a rigid lender relationship. They get a credit partner who understands their cash cycles, their vendor timelines, and their growth plans. My team works cross-functionally (credit, sales, documentation, accounting) to deliver financing that's both sound and practical. I'm actively involved with ELFA, NEFA, and AACFB, and I've been recognized as a Top Woman in Leasing and with the AACFB President's Award. These aren't just credentials. They reflect a commitment to advancing the industry and building financing structures that help mid-market companies compete and scale. If you're a CFO or business owner dealing with bank exposure caps, international vendor payments, or the need for 100% project funding, let's talk. I'm here to structure deals that work.

Steven Leitman is Managing Partner of Consulting Resource Group (CRG), a payments consulting and platform firm that helps issuers, acquirers, and BIN sponsors improve profitability through network (scheme) fee optimization, interchange economics, and disciplined cost governance. CRG's Payment Economics practice (CardTraq) includes a suite of platforms designed to manage Visa and Mastercard network fees, interchange performance, and ongoing network rule changes. CRG works with some of the largest global issuers and acquirers. His work focuses on the economics beneath card programs: Visa and Mastercard network (scheme) fees, pricing structures, interchange qualification, and the hidden cost drivers that materially impact P&L. A core theme is making network compliance measurable and continuous, with data structures, governance models, and platforms that provide ongoing visibility into compliance-driven cost, risk, and fee leakage rather than relying on one-off interpretation exercises. Steven brings hands-on experience from senior roles at Visa, American Express, and Deloitte Strategy. He publishes regularly on LinkedIn on Visa and Mastercard fee changes, interchange reform, and network compliance. https://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-leitman/
