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.

Being in the multifamily industry for 15 years, I've see a lot of properties with little to no digital strategy and branding used to target their potential resident. Some may see short-term success, but none maintain strong lead generation without strategy and a strong brand. This is the problem our team thrives on. We create the industries best hyper-local, social media content through video, design, influencers, and ads. This content gets used in our strategic push campaigns to create the traffic push for clients and their properties. Turn Leads to Leases with Envida's Branded Lead-Gen Approach.
