Who is Saltbush
Alex Brydges - Director, grew up on a cattle and vineyard property in Queensland’s South Burnett, which explains two things about him:
He’s very comfortable around hardworking people, and
He has strong opinions about both wine and tractors.
With more than a decade in commercial lending, private credit and structured finance, Alex has held senior roles across emerging banks, non-bank lenders and funds management groups. He’s built national distribution teams, originated billions in SME finance enquiries, and helped scale lending platforms ranging from asset finance to invoice finance and ABL facilities. In other words — if a business needs capital, he’s probably structured it, funded it or fixed it.
Alex is also an active property developer, having delivered residential, multi-unit and land subdivision projects across Queensland. This hands-on experience means he actually understands the messy, real-world side of projects — not just the spreadsheets.
He founded Saltbush Capital because he wanted to offer business owners and developers something different: straight talk, clear strategy and funding structures that actually work in practice — not the cookie-cutter products you get from the big end of town.
Outside of work, Alex can usually be found longboarding one of Queensland’s points, attempting to convince himself he’s good at golf, or spending time on his property in the Noosa hinterland.
Approachable, practical and unfiltered, Alex brings advisory expertise without the corporate stiffness — helping clients secure the capital they need with clarity and confidence.
