Services

Everything we do, and what each one costs.

Everything we do, grouped by the situation you are in: buying a business, borrowing against the one you already run, wanting someone alongside you ongoing, or producing the documents a lender has asked for. Every fee is on the site, and every engagement is scoped in writing before it starts.

For a business you are buying

Test the numbers before you commit, then build the case the bank needs.

Financial due diligence

The earnings picture rebuilt from bank statements, BAS lodgements and the general ledger, so you know what the business really earns once you are running it. Three levels, priced by transaction value.

From $2,500

What it covers

Lender submission packs

Serviceability models, funding requests and information memorandums, built the way a commercial credit team expects to read them. Three packs, or any document on its own.

From $950

What it covers

For the business you already run

The numbers work that sits between your accountant and your bank.

Debt Capacity Assessment

The facility you have in mind modelled into your actual financials, with the covenant maths, the stress tests and a written read on which facility types the numbers support. For new debt from $100,000 upwards.

$1,850, 5 business days

What it covers

Growth Scenario Model

A planned move, another business, new equipment or a second site, run through profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow in best, mid and worst case over a multi-year horizon. Includes the assessment.

$4,950, 10 business days

What it covers

Covenant Compliance Review

The financial covenants in your facility agreement worked against your actual numbers before the lender tests them: the headroom on each, anything close to the line, and the calculations ready for the compliance certificate you sign.

$1,250, 5 business days

What it covers

Ongoing, rather than one job at a time

Three standing engagements: one on the numbers, one that runs your covenant compliance for you, and one on the person running the business.

The Owner's Desk

The capital side kept current between engagements: what you can borrow, how much covenant room is left, whether the next move is fundable. Annual, quarterly or monthly.

From $850 a quarter, free for Lending Lab clients

What it covers

Covenant Management

The managed counterpart to The Owner's Desk. We run your covenant compliance end to end all year: the bank's point of contact, targets set to stay inside every covenant, the reporting produced, your accountant coordinated. Sold heavily through brokers and accountants.

Scoped and priced in writing

What it covers

The Sounding Board

A standing session on the business you are running, quarterly or monthly, plus the line between sessions, with someone who has read the actual numbers of hundreds of businesses. Business coaching, not financial advice.

From $1,250 a quarter

What it covers

For lenders, brokerages and boards

The one part of the practice that is not a packaged product, for work that does not fit one.

Consulting

Private lender product and credit design, broker business capability, and advisory board or non-executive seats. Contracting the experience directly rather than buying a defined deliverable.

Scoped and priced in writing

What it covers

Documents a lender has asked for

Whether you are buying, borrowing or already part way through.

Business plans and forecasts

Lender-grade plans in three tiers, built from your actual accounts and tested against ATO benchmarks, with a full three-way forecast at the top tier. Every tier includes a revision round.

From $850

What it covers

Submission Rescue

A lender knocked back a submission you believe should have passed. We work out why it failed, rebuild the earnings case from evidence, and restructure it for the next lender.

$950, 3 business days

What it covers

Fees are shown excluding GST, with the GST-inclusive figure beside them. GST applies at 10%. The consolidated fee schedule carries every band and modifier, and how it works sets out turnarounds and the standard information request.
