Small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) finance aggregator Swoop is expanding into Australia.

Swoop, which launched in the UK and Ireland in 2018, provides access to funding across equity, grants and loans as well as identifying how businesses can make savings.

It has appointed Tim Brown as chief executive of Swoop in Australia to lead the company’s first international expansion. He will be responsible for growth in that market as well as New Zealand.

Brown has experience working in Australia’s finance market, having previously held the role of chief executive at lender Ezifin Financial Services and finance aggregator Vow Financial.

From 2013 to 2015 Brown was chair of the Mortgage Finance Association of Australia, the national body of professional finance brokers.
