Our Team

Murray Mayes

Director - Commercial Finance Broker
Starting, scaling or buying a business is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, and getting the right finance behind you can be the difference between momentum and missed opportunity. That’s where I can assist.

Within our Group, Premium Finance Group Australia (PFGA), I specialise in business start-up finance, business acquisition lending, and commercial property funding for self-employed owners and professionals ready to take control of their future. Whether you’re stepping out to launch your own business, buying an established operation, expanding your current enterprise, or securing the commercial property that underpins long-term wealth, you need finance that moves quickly, is structured properly, and supports your ambitions without unnecessary stress.

The reality is that today’s lending landscape is tough. Banks are cautious. Start-ups are scrutinised and more often knocked back. Business purchasers face hurdles. And most people simply don’t have the time, confidence, or insider knowledge to navigate complex lender policies, cash-flow requirements, security options, or serviceability tests. I remove that overwhelm. With decades of experience, I guide you through how the finance can be approved and secured, what lenders really want, including why they may be saying 'No' or not approving your application, and negotiate structures that protect your personal wealth while giving your business the best chance of growth.

I understand this isn't just about “getting a loan.” It’s about unlocking the life you’re trying to build, with more income, more independence, more control, and a business that rewards the years you’ve invested in your skills and experience. My role is to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward so you can make smart decisions without the guesswork.

If you're ready to move, I make the money part simple and give your business the financial edge it deserves.
