Why Tailored Capital
Kirk Jackson, managing director at Tailored Capital, gives us an insight into how it all began.
Tailored Capital was founded in 2016 in Melbourne, Australia, with a simple belief: finance should be personal. After nearly 20 years in financial services across Australia and the United States, founder Kirk recognised a growing shift toward fully digital loan processes, and the risk of losing the human connection that sits at the heart of good decision-making.
At Tailored Capital, we take a different approach. We believe the best outcomes come from understanding the person behind the application. Every client has a unique story, and no two financial situations are the same. So why should the solution be?
Whether you’re a small business owner, a tradesperson, or leading a growing company, we take the time to listen, understand your goals, and tailor lending solutions that genuinely fit your circumstances. It’s not about ticking boxes or fitting into an algorithm; it’s about finding the right path forward for you.
While technology and AI have made finance more accessible, some decisions still benefit from real conversation and expert guidance. Buying a home or securing finance is a significant milestone, and having the right support can make all the difference.
At Tailored Capital, we combine industry expertise with a personal, hands-on approach, so you can move forward with confidence.
“Every person, every business has a different story to tell that doesn’t fit into an algorithm, or can be summed up in 2 sentences.”
- Kirk Jackson, Managing Director - Tailored Capital
