Abode builds you
a strategy.
Most women are placed into lending structures that were never designed for the way they build — structures that cap their capacity, ignore how they earn, and hold their growth back.
We work upstream — designing your lending structure before approaching a single lender. The result is maximum borrowing capacity, fewer surprises, and a lending strategy that reflects the full scale of your ambitions.
Abode is not for everyone. Abode is built for complexity. Every client receives a dedicated lending strategist, a tailored structure, and a long-term relationship.

Structured
lending.
Designed
to last.
Rates matter — but structure determines outcome. The difference between approval and decline, between limited and maximum borrowing capacity, is how your finance is built from day one.
Full picture of your income, entities, debts, assets and goals — before approaching any lender.
We design your lending architecture to maximise borrowing capacity and align with how you earn and hold assets.
We match your profile to the right lender using policy knowledge most brokers simply don't have.
A clean, well-positioned application. We manage lender communication end to end.
Settlement is the beginning. We review and evolve your lending strategy as your business and portfolio grow.
Your income is complex. Your lender should keep up.
Business distributions, director salaries and self-employed income are consistently undervalued by standard lenders. We know exactly how to position your financials — and which lenders will recognise your full earning power.
Your structure is architectured for wealth. Your lending should be too.
Trust income, company structures, multiple entities — women who grow businesses rarely fit one clean category. We navigate lender policy so every layer of how you've built your wealth is recognised, not flattened.
You're not where you started. Your lending strategy shouldn't be either.
For high-income women, executives and wealth builders with mixed streams, bonuses or equity — we design lending that reflects the scale of your ambition, not just last year's tax return.
50 female-led
businesses.
12 months.
This is not a target. This is a declaration.
The lending system was not built for female founders. It undervalues complex income, misreads business structures, and consistently caps the borrowing power of the women who are growing the most ambitious businesses in Australia.
I'm done watching it happen. The 50 in 12 mission is my public commitment to fund, level up and get to settlement for 50 female-led businesses within 12 months — with the full Abode strategy behind each one.
This is not a volume play. Every single one of the 50 will be a part of something bigger — a community of women who refused to shrink their ambition to fit a system that was never built for them, who backed themselves, and who got funded because of it.
The scoreboard.
Updated in real time.
Every business funded is a business transformed.
E-commerce founder, complex trust structure
Settled $1.4M. Previous broker said her income "wouldn't qualify." We found her a lender that understood distributions. Done in 6 weeks.
Director, two-entity income structure
Refinanced $2.1M portfolio. Unlocked $680K in additional capacity she didn't know she had. Restructured from 4 loans to 2.
This could be your story.
48 spots remain. If you're a female founder ready to build, expand or refinance — this is your signal. Book a strategy session today.
The next 47 stories are unwritten.
Each spot is a female founder who refused to accept a system that wasn't built for her. Refer someone today and help write the next one.
Why we're doing this publicly.
Because visibility creates accountability. Because female founders deserve to see themselves funded. Because the more we celebrate these wins, the more we normalise ambition.
Refer a founder. Change her trajectory.
Know a female founder who's ready to grow, buy or refinance? Send her our way. There's no catch — just an introduction that could change what she's able to build.
50 businesses.

Is yours next?
Caitlin.
I started Abode because I kept seeing the same problem: driven, high-achieving women being forced into a lending system that was never built for the way they grow.
Complex income structures, business ownership, trust distributions — these aren't edge cases. They're the financial architecture of women who have built something real. They deserve a lending strategist who understands every layer — and refuses to let a lender undervalue them.
At Abode, I work with business owners, female founders, investors and executives — building lending strategy that reflects the full picture of who they are financially, and supports where they're going, not just where they've been.
What our
clients say.
Client details shared with full consent and presented anonymously to protect privacy. Results reflect individual circumstances and lending outcomes will vary.
I'd been told by two other brokers my situation was too complex. Caitlin understood my structure immediately and had a strategy in place within days. We settled well above what I thought was possible.
Working with Abode was completely different to any broker I'd used before. There was a real strategy behind everything — not just a loan being pushed through. I finally feel like my lending is working for me.
Caitlin took the time to understand exactly how my business income worked before approaching a single lender. The outcome exceeded what I thought my borrowing capacity was. I wouldn't use anyone else.
Built for
complex
profiles.
