The non-bank lender said around 14 per cent of Australians are now owner-managers, reflecting a shift towards self-employment, more complex income structures, and growth in skilled and professional enterprises.
These trends, highlighted in ORDE’s Outlook Australia research with Bernard Salt AM, are contributing to a rise in demand for broker support, particularly as business owners reassess commercial facilities and business premises loans.
According to ORDE, brokers are seeing more clients explore options, such as consolidating debt, improving cash flow, and positioning for future growth.
In response, the lender has introduced a 0.30 per cent rate reduction across all loan-to-value ratios within its Commercial Prime range, applicable to Full Doc, Lease Doc, and Alt Doc products.
The pricing update applies to new applications submitted up to 30 June 2026 and is designed to support a broad range of commercial lending scenarios.
ORDE said the changes align with what brokers are observing in the market while maintaining its existing approach to flexible income verification and simplified lending processes.
ORDE Financial director of distribution, Lee Prior, said broker insight remains central as commercial lending continues to evolve.
“Brokers are right at the centre of these conversations, and our One Lending Team spends a lot of time listening to what they’re seeing on the ground,” Prior said.
“Commercial lending often comes down to resilience – helping businesses and commercial property investors make confident decisions, while supporting broker practices to protect and enhance their pipelines and partnerships. This change reflects a practical response to what brokers are dealing with day to day.”
