About Aurelius Private
Built for the deals banks won’t touch.
We are private lending brokers. We structure the deal, take it to the right lender on the panel, and see it through to settlement.
Non-bank finance, arranged properly.
Aurelius Private is the private lending brokerage arm 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 written for a different kind of borrower.
Based on the Gold Coast and working nationally, we place deals with private lenders who assess a transaction on its merits, the security, the exit strategy and the 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.
“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.
Why go private instead of the bank.
It moves in days, not weeks
Private lenders don't sit behind six weeks of credit committee. Scenarios are read the day they land, and the right deals settle in days.
Judged on the deal, not a checklist
Every scenario is different. Private capital is assessed on the merits of the deal, the security, the exit and the commercial logic, not a box on a bank credit policy.
A straight answer, early
When a deal is fundable we say so, and roughly what it will cost. No conditional approvals that fall over at the last minute.
Tell us about your deal.
Send through the scenario. You’ll hear back the same day with who would fund it and roughly what it costs. If it doesn’t stack up as it stands, we’ll say so and tell you what would need to change.
