A word from Msquared Capital
At Msquared Capital, transparency is at the heart of how we partner with commercial brokers. Backed by diverse capital sources, we give brokers direct access to decision-makers, with clear terms, upfront pricing, and honest feedback from day one. You’ll always know where your transaction stands.
We offer first and second mortgages from $500,000 to $50 million over three to 36 months, secured against residential, commercial and industrial property, and residual stock. Every scenario is assessed on its merits, with no hidden surprises along the way. Funds in days, not weeks.
Msquared Capital. Closer is how we lend.
Throughout the 2026 financial year, Australia’s businesses had to deal with a huge amount of change and upheaval. While the start of the year felt pretty optimistic, things took a turn in the second half as the economic environment shifted rapidly.
A confluence of factors – from international conflict, to rising costs, to the maturation of artificial intelligence and a rising cash rate environment – all contributed to a souring of sentiment from the Australian consumer that hit confidence hard.
But while macroeconomic factors, evolving interest rate expectations, and shifting commercial real estate conditions created complex funding scenarios, underlying business demand for specialised commercial debt and working capital facilities remained remarkably resilient.
Brokers across the country played a critical role in structuring complex debt solutions, refinancing commercial property portfolios, and ensuring SMEs maintained essential cash flow liquidity to support business growth and capital investment.
The month of November marks Commercial Finance Month on The Adviser. Throughout this month, we are shining a dedicated spotlight on the commercial broking sector.
To kick off Commercial Finance Month, we are starting by revealing the top commercial finance brokers in the country.
In this instalment of The Adviser’s Elite Broker Ranking 2026, partnered by Msquared Capital, we measure the scale, impact, and productivity of Australia’s top commercial finance brokers across two core funding pillars: commercial mortgages and working capital loans.
Collectively, the brokers featured across the Elite Broker Ranking 2026 – Commercial Finance wrote an incredible $6.57 billion in total commercial finance across 6,945 loans during FY2025–26.
Broken down by category, commercial mortgage specialists accounted for just over $6 billion across 1,682 settled loans, while working capital specialists settled $573,636,246 across 5,263 business loans.
Commercial mortgages
In the commercial property space, brokers demonstrated the enormous monetary scale of high-value transactions during FY25–26, with major commercial and development advisory brokerages securing market-leading funding figures.
In the commercial mortgages category, the top three brokers by dollar volume delivered monumental capital totals for large-scale acquisitions, commercial real estate development, and refinancing. Notably, they all came from commercial brokerage Stamford Capital.

The commercial ranking shows that specialisation is a core contributing factor to success. At a brokerage level, specialised models and digital aggregation scale proved decisive. Stamford Capital established incredible market dominance in commercial mortgages, fielding four of the top six volume brokers nationwide (Bill Moskovich, Andrew Dilorito, Adam Miller, and Angus Sheedy, with $392.6 million).
Meanwhile, Valiant Finance demonstrated overwhelming scale in working capital broking, occupying all top five positions by transaction count (led by Zac Feaunati, Adam Hamouda, Adrian Grasso, Timothy Ferrero, with 179 deals, and Jamie Cheng with 178 deals).
Every broker recognised in the Elite Broker Ranking 2026 – Commercial Finance has demonstrated exceptional technical skill, lender navigation, and operational excellence over the past year.
The Adviser will continue to celebrate commercial finance brokers over the course of November. As well as recognising the brokers writing the largest volumes of commercial finance through the Elite Broker Ranking 2026 – Commercial Finance, The Adviser is also celebrating individual excellence and innovation at the prestigious Commercial Finance Awards, run in partnership with Judo Bank, taking place at the end of the month. Plus, published as a special supplement to this month’s magazine is The Broker’s Guide to Commercial Finance , which showcases the key trends in commercial finance revealing themselves in the market at the moment, as well as the emerging opportunities and operational insights brokers are seeing on the ground, too.
Methodology of the ranking
To ensure the integrity and credibility of the Elite Broker Ranking, a robust methodology was employed.
Undertaken by Agile Market Intelligence on behalf of The Adviser, brokers were invited to submit data regarding the number of commercial mortgage and working capital loans settled, the value of these loans, and the average size of loans written for the financial year ending June 2026.
Each broker was required to provide evidence supporting their submissions, which were meticulously verified. The final ranking was determined by ranking the brokers by total settlement volumes and deals across commercial mortgages and working capital loans.
