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.

Deals aren’t failing because there’s no money.

They’re failing because they don’t stack up.

Private credit is growing, but getting deals approved is becoming more complex.

In this Brisbane seminar, Nick Samios (Hermes Capital) is joined by Ian Hyman, Patrick Schweizer, and Mark Rainbird to break down what’s really happening in SME credit markets.

They cover how risk is being assessed, why asset values matter more than ever, and what brokers need to understand to structure deals that actually get done.

If you’re working on SME or private credit deals, this will help you structure them more effectively.

Live from Melbourne, this seminar tackles a question that now sits at the centre of every private credit deal: What is the exit strategy?

In today’s market, weak or assumed exits are one of the biggest reasons transactions stall, get repriced, or collapse late in the process.

This session brings together a lender, a valuer, and a restructuring specialist to unpack:

• What makes an exit pathway credible
• Where brokers commonly overestimate refinance options
• The reality of asset recoverability
• When private credit supports a turnaround, and when it simply delays it
• How to avoid equity erosion in stressed situations

For brokers and SME advisers operating in complex funding scenarios, this is a practical, real-world discussion on protecting value in challenging conditions.
