What is a private lending broker?
A private lending broker arranges finance from private lenders rather than lending the money itself. We take your deal to a very large panel of private lenders, family offices and high-net-worth investors, structure it, and place it with the one most likely to fund it, usually faster and more flexibly than a bank can.
When the bank says no, it’s rarely because the deal is bad.
Most of the time it just doesn’t fit the box they lend in. That’s the work we do every day, finding the lender who sees the deal the way you do.
When the timing is tight
A bank can take six weeks to come back with an answer. When the vendor wants to settle on Friday, that timeline just doesn't work. We line up lenders who can move at the speed your deal actually needs.
When the deal doesn't fit a box
Developers, investors and business owners rarely look tidy on a credit form. The lenders we work with look at the deal itself, the security, the exit and the plan, rather than running you through a checklist written for someone else.
When you just want a straight answer
You shouldn't have to wait a month to find out whether something is possible. Tell us the scenario and we'll give you an honest read: whether it's fundable, what it's likely to cost, and who the right lender for it is.
When your deal’s ready, waiting weeks on a bank isn’t good enough.
When you’ve got the site, the approval and a builder ready to go, the last thing you need is weeks of waiting on a bank. We already know the lenders who can look at it now and give you a real answer.

Real structures and real timeframes. These are the kinds of scenarios we work on most weeks.
Whatever the deal, there’s a lender for it.
Most of the time there’s a way to fund it. Tell us the scenario and we’ll match it to the right lender, or tell you honestly if it’s not one we can help with as it stands.
How a deal comes together.
Tell us the scenario
Security, amount, the exit you have in mind. No lengthy forms, no documents yet.
We structure it and find the lender
Every scenario gets an answer the day it lands. Who would fund it, how it would be put together and what it would cost, before any formal application.
You settle
Caveat and second-mortgage deals can settle in 48 to 72 hours. Development facilities in weeks. We handle the complexity from here.
“Access to the right capital shouldn’t depend on which bank you happen to walk into.”
Rory McGrath started out in commercial finance in New Zealand before moving to Australia. He founded Aurelius Capital in 2024 and launched Aurelius Private soon after, focused on one thing: structuring and placing the deals other brokers couldn’t.
Every scenario that comes in is read by a broker, usually Rory himself. You’ll get a straight read on whether it’s fundable, what it will roughly cost, and who on the panel is the right home for it.
