What Global Progress does

Global Progress Pty Ltd is an Australian mortgage and finance brokerage headquartered in North Rocks, NSW, founded in 2005 by John Krawc. The firm operates as an intermediation business connecting individual borrowers and small business clients with lenders, arranging home loans, business loans, home insurance, and Sharia-compliant Islamic finance. Service is delivered on an appointment-based, advice-led model with multilingual coverage (English and Polish) targeting the greater Sydney market and the broader Australian borrower base.

The brokerage's product set is assembled through partner relationships rather than proprietary technology. Membership in the FINSURE aggregator network provides access to more than 650 loan products across multiple lender panels; home insurance is supplied in partnership with Honey Insurance; and Islamic finance is delivered via Hejaz Islamic Finance. The firm holds Australian Credit Licence 422878 and FBAA accreditation, the regulatory credentials required for lawful credit activity. Customer-facing technology is limited to online financial calculators (borrowing power, repayment, stamp duty) embedded on the company website, which function as a self-service lead generation tool rather than a productized platform.

Revenue is generated on a commission model: the firm earns upfront commissions on settled loans and trailing commissions on the outstanding loan book over time, paid by lenders via the aggregator. This produces a mix of transactional and recurring revenue tied directly to loan settlement volumes and loan book persistence. The customer base comprises home buyers, property investors, small business owners arranging commercial finance, and individuals seeking Sharia-compliant structures; no enterprise or institutional clients are referenced.
