What we do
Where Azura Private Adds Value
Private Bank Advisory
Our extensive connections with all major private banks empower clients to access exclusive financial opportunities. This network ensures tailored solutions that align with your unique financial goals.
Complex Lending
Transactions that do not fit a standard credit policy. Multiple entities, trust and company borrowers, cross border or non standard income, and portfolios that need to be looked at as a whole.
Commercial Property Lending
Acquisition, refinance and repositioning of commercial assets across office, retail, industrial and specialised property, structured around the asset and the tenant profile.
Development & Construction
Residual stock, land bank and construction facilities, structured around feasibility, presales and delivery timelines, with funding lined up before the program starts.
We Also Advise On
High Value Residential Lending
Substantial residential facilities and multi property portfolios, including trust and company borrowers.
Real Estate Advisory
Property as a long term asset, from acquisition strategy through to how a holding is funded and held.
Private Credit & Non Bank
Specialist funders for transactions that need speed, flexibility or a view a bank will not take.
Business & Corporate Facilities
Working capital, acquisition funding and facilities secured against business assets and cash flow.
Our Approach
How we work with you ⟶
Every position is different. We take the time to understand yours before we go anywhere near a lender, then stay across the file until it settles and well after.
01 Start with the whole picture
Your assets, entities, income sources, strategy and what you are working towards. Not just the transaction in front of you.
02 Take it to the right market
Major banks, private banks, non bank lenders and private credit. Including funders that sit outside a standard broker panel.
03 Structure before submitting
Security, entity and facility structure are agreed with you up front, so the application does not need to be rebuilt halfway through.
04 Manage it to settlement
We stay across the file from first conversation to settlement, and coordinate with your accountant, solicitor and other professionals.
05 Long Term Partnership
Facilities are reviewed and renegotiated as your position changes, so the structure keeps pace with what you are building.
Why Azura Private
What you get that a bank cannot offer
Best Interests Duty
We work for you, not the lender
Best Interests Duty is a statutory obligation requiring brokers to act in the best interests of clients. The same legal requirement does not apply to banks or lenders.
Access
A market, not a product set
A bank can offer you what a bank has. We can take your transaction across major banks, private banks, non bank lenders and private credit, and compare the outcomes side by side.
Best Interests Duty
One team as your position changes
Your team stays with you. Facilities are reviewed and renegotiated over time, with the wider Azura Financial and Azura Protect capability available as your needs broaden.
Get Started
Let's talk about what you are trying to do
