Winery & Vineyard Operators

Running a working vineyard means managing high capital requirements alongside seasonal cashflow. I understand the assets, the operational pressures, and the lenders who are right for your situation

Small Business Owners & Tradespeople

Owner-operators who are time-poor and results-focused. No slow processes, brokers who don't follow up. That's not how I work.

WHY WORK WITH PAT

Most Brokers Come From Sales. I Come From Banking.

That difference matters more than most people realise. I understand how a lender actually thinks — how they assess risk, structure approvals, and make decisions. That's what allows me to get deals done that other brokers can't.

Banking & Credit Background

With over 30 years across banking, credit analysis, and equipment finance broking, I know what lenders need before they ask for it.
