A modern capital advisory firm trusted by Australia’s most prominent businesses.

Our Mission

Making complex capital decisions clearer for those who build, operate and invest.

We exist to make institutional-quality financing expertise more accessible to property developers, business owners, and family offices. We provide strategic advice, access to capital, and relationship-driven execution that empowers our clients to act with confidence across all stages of the asset or business lifecycle.

Our Story

Born from experience. Built for impact.

Actum was established by a team of senior financiers and advisors who saw the need for a more focused, high-calibre approach to capital advisory in the mid-market. Since 2019 we’ve delivered strategic advice and executed dozens of transactions across real estate and corporate finance – consistently achieving results that outperform what even experienced clients could achieve alone. Our growth has been built on a hands-on, outcome-first approach that values long-term relationships over short-term wins.

Our Values

What guides us.

Our values shape how we deliver for our clients and partners—every transaction, every conversation, every time.

Enduring relationships

We don’t chase transactions. We build lasting relationships, thinking in decades, not deals.

Integrity first

We act with honesty and independence—earning trust through transparency and accountability.

Clarity in complexity

We make the complex understandable, giving clients confidence to act through data-led insight and structured thinking.

Expertise without ego

We bring deep market knowledge, delivered with humility. Clients value us not just for what we know, but how we work.

our process

A structured, hands-on approach from start to finish.

Actum is an integrated capital advisory and private credit firm built for the needs of mid-market clients. Whether you're acquiring a property, refinancing a portfolio, or seeking growth funding, we guide you from strategy through to financing execution—with transparent advice and ongoing support.

Whether we’re raising capital or negotiating with lenders, we stay embedded in the process until financial close.

Post-close, we remain engaged through reporting, compliance, and strategic check-ins.

our Team

Led by experience. Driven by outcomes.

Actum’s executive team brings decades of experience in real estate funding, corporate finance and structured lending. More than advisors, we are hands-on operators with deep relationships across Australia’s commercial finance ecosystem. We understand the market, the people, and the mechanics—and we use that insight to negotiate, structure, and execute deals our clients couldn’t access alone. Every engagement is partner-led from end to end, with no handoffs, no dilution of accountability—just direct access to the expertise that drives results.
