Australian SME lender BiiGGA, backed by Attvest Finance, recently announced the appointment of Lee Slattery (pictured) as Chief Commercial Officer. Slattery takes ownership of the company’s commercial strategy end to end, spanning broker and aggregator distribution, the national business development team, marketing and brand, and the customer experience across every channel.
The appointment comes off the back of the strongest period in BiiGGA’s history, with the latest quarter (Q4|FY2026) being the company’s biggest on record. Slattery’s brief is to convert that momentum into scale, with accountability for growth across the entire business: direct and partner channels, product go-to-market, marketing and brand, and customer experience. Immediate priorities include the launch of BiiGGA’s new Line of Credit, a national business development team, opening the aggregator channel for the first time, and expanding the broker partnership program.
Lee Slattery brings more than two decades of commercial leadership across non-bank lending, banking and lending technology, including senior roles with Latitude Financial Services, QBank, Funding.com.au, Westpac and St George. Most recently he served as General Manager at lending software company FinPOWER and founded the advisory practice Lend & Scale.
Jaco Gunter, Co-Founder and CEO of BiiGGA, said, “We started BiiGGA with a simple vision, working capital that fits the way Australian businesses actually trade. What the team has built since then has exceeded every expectation, and we believe the biggest growth is still in front of us. I’m excited to see Lee lead the growth of BiiGGA into its next chapter.”
Multiple products, one promise: funding that fits how a business actually trades
BiiGGA provides both unsecured and secured working capital solutions to Australian ABN holders across two products. Its term facility, the product behind the company’s growth to date, provides funding from $10,000 to $500,000, repaid through a fixed daily/weekly repayment or variable repayments linked to a percentage of daily takings so repayments flex with trade. Quiet weeks cost less and strong weeks clear the balance faster. Pricing is a single flat fee agreed upfront, with no interest, no late fees and no exit penalties. Applications take around five minutes, decisions are made in hours and funds land the same day.
The new Line of Credit extends that same model into an ongoing facility. Launching this month with limits from $10,000 to $150,000, it gives businesses a pre-approved line they can draw on as needed, providing permanent working capital headroom for stock purchases, seasonal peaks and unexpected opportunities. Eligibility is deliberately simple: six or more months of trading and average monthly turnover above $10,000, with assessments based on real trading data rather than credit scores alone
Slattery said the opportunity was an easy decision.
“I’m excited by what the team has already built at BiiGGA. An innovative product, great tech and real support behind it, with super-fast approval times for brokers and same day settlement for customers. I was excited to bring an offer like this to the market and grow it. We will be looking to deepen relationships with Aggregators and Brokers. It’s a brand that’s built for Brokers and their customers, we are accrediting brokers and funding deals in the same day, while other lenders slow down, we are built to scale and grow with Brokers and Customers,” said Lee Slattery.
