When a business comes under pressure, the question isn’t just how to access capital, it’s how to protect value.
In this Sydney seminar, Hermes Capital brings together Nick Samios, Bruce Connors, and Marcus Petrovic, hosted by Max, to unpack one of the most important decisions brokers face:
Restructure, refinance… or run the auction?
With interest rates staying higher for longer, the discussion explores how brokers can avoid short-term fixes, assess asset values realistically, and structure funding that actually supports long-term outcomes.
We'll discuss capital stacking, asset recoverability, restructuring pathways, and how to guide clients through difficult decisions with clarity and discipline.
If you’re working with SME clients or navigating private credit deals, this session will help you approach them with a stronger framework.
