About Splendid
We're building the future of business finance—where technology amplifies human insight and good businesses get funded faster.
Why We Started
Every week, we'd watch the same story unfold: A solid Australian business would need finance to grow. They'd spend weeks gathering documents, waiting for responses, getting rejected for reasons that made no sense. Or worse—getting approved for products that didn't actually fit their needs.
As business lending professionals, Shaun and Bhavi saw how the disconnect between what businesses needed and what lenders offered was holding back growth. Not just for individual companies, but for the entire economy.
The tipping point was personal. A client we'd worked with for months—a profitable family business—needed inventory finance to fulfill a major contract. After six weeks of back-and-forth with their bank, they lost the opportunity. Not because they weren't creditworthy. But because the process was just too slow.
That's when we knew we had to build something different.
Our Approach
We started Splendid with a simple belief: business finance should adapt to businesses, not the other way around.
We've helped hundreds of business owners secure the right finance through highly personalised service. We take the time to understand each business, explore creative solutions, and find lenders who actually get what they're trying to achieve.
But we realised that personal service alone wasn't enough. The entire industry needed to work better.
Technology With Soul
That's why we're developing an AI platform designed specifically for business financing. Our goal is to make the entire lending process significantly faster, smoother, and better for everyone—business owners, brokers, and lenders alike.
Our AI platform isn't about replacing human connection. It's about amplifying it.
When technology handles the repetitive tasks, brokers can focus on understanding your business. When lenders can assess risk in minutes instead of weeks, good businesses get funded faster. When the entire ecosystem works better, economies grow stronger.
We believe the future of business finance combines the efficiency of AI with the irreplaceable value of human insight and relationships.
The Bigger Picture
Today, we're focused on Australian businesses. But inefficient business lending isn't just an Australian problem—it's a global challenge holding back business owners from Melbourne to Manchester to Minneapolis.
Our vision is to build technology that works anywhere business happens. To create a world where getting finance is as smooth as ordering inventory. Where a good business with a solid plan can get funded in hours or days, not weeks or months, regardless of geography.
