    Need fast funding without the hassle? This episode unpacks when private lending makes sense — and when it doesn’t.

It’s flexible, fast, and less restricted than traditional lending — but it’s not for every borrower. Tune in for a practical, honest conversation about how private lending works, the risks to watch, and where it can give you a real edge. About Adrian: Adrian Dracopoulos is the Business Development Manager of Private Loans at Msquared Capital, a Sydney-based private lender specialising in short-term, flexible funding solutions. Adrian began his finance career in mortgage broking at 19 and later transitioned into private lending, bringing with him deep knowledge of both sides of the lending space. He studied Accounting and Finance at university and briefly pursued a passion for aviation, earning his commercial and private pilot licenses. Today, Adrian helps clients structure non-bank and bridging loans tailored to complex financial scenarios that fall outside traditional banking criteria. Link to Transcript Hosted on Acast.
