About Aurelius Private
Built for deals banks won't touch.
The business
Non-bank lending, done properly.
Aurelius Private is the non-bank private lending division of Aurelius Capital Group Pty Ltd. We exist to solve a simple problem: good deals get declined by banks every day — not because the deal is bad, but because it doesn't fit a credit policy built for a different kind of borrower.
Based on the Gold Coast and operating nationally, we specialise in placing deals with private lenders who assess transactions on their merits — security, exit strategy, and commercial logic — rather than a checklist of serviceability ratios and credit scores.
From first mortgages and bridging finance to development funding and working capital, our role is to structure the deal, match it to the right lender, and get it settled — fast.
The founder
Rory McGrath
Founder & Senior Broker
Rory McGrath has been in commercial finance since leaving school in 2016. What started as a junior role turned into a decade of deal structuring, lender relationships, and a reputation for placing finance others couldn't.
Aurelius Private was built on a simple belief — access to the right capital shouldn't depend on which bank you walk into. We built the lender network, the relationships, and the expertise to make that happen.
“We settle deals others said couldn't be done.”
Why private lending
Your deal deserves more than a maybe.
Speed that banks can't match.
Private lenders don't sit behind six weeks of credit committee meetings. We settle in days, not months.
Flexibility the market demands.
Every deal is different. Private lending is built to assess the deal on its merits — not tick a box on a credit policy.
Certainty you can rely on.
When we say yes, we mean it. No conditional approvals that fall over at the last minute.
