Co-founder Testimonial Donut, Founderoo + Kaddim. Design at Lumiant.

Kaddim handles document collection for Australian mortgage brokers. The part of the job that takes hours but earns you nothing. Request documents, send automated reminders, review everything in one place, and auto-rename files to your naming convention.

"The ability to rename files to our own naming convention is a massive time saver. For this feature alone I will continue to use this service." – Peter Tersteeg, Sage Leading Solutions

"I won't ever go back to sending manual checklists!" – Deanna Ezzy, More Than Mortgages

I'm not here for a hard sell. If document admin is eating your time, let's connect. Always happy to talk about how to get those hours back.

I spoke to a bunch of Australian mortgage brokers in the last month.

Lots of brokers had a similar problem.
Document collection eats time.

Chasing clients via email. 
Reminders that don't get sent. 
Files uploaded as IMG_4738.jpg instead of Smith_Payslip_Jan2025.pdf
Google reviews not getting asked for

Their VA spends hours fixing it.
That's not what you hired them for.

Some brokers use FileInvite and they're happy with it.

That's good for us. 
Means our software is heavily validated. 
We just need to overtake them (FileInvite).

Farzan and I built Kaddim (soon to be Brokerdocs) to do exactly that.

We're early. 
We have demos every week. 
We're looking for feedback more than we are to sell.

The software has to fit the broker to make it work.

We built this from the ground up. 
Me, Farzan and our 2 engineers own the business.

The brokers using it? 
Churn doesn't seem to happen. 

David vs Goliath.

Our focus on the Australian mortgage broker market is our superpower.

We're in for the long haul.

Designer building mortgage broker software

If you've ever grown a business only to lose a bunch of money and come back and go again, this post's for you.

2002. Edinburgh. No vehicle. Just a vacuum cleaner, a bucket of cleaning supplies. Me and my wife Sandrita.

We'd board the bus to our first cleaning jobs for Bluestone Cleaning. That was us. Founders on the number 23.

Fast forward to peak Bluestone: 50 employees, multiple vans, £750,000 in annual revenue. 

That professional cleaning company look. We'd made it.

Here's what nobody tells you about "making it", the more successful you look, the more you spend looking successful. 

Bigger office. Better equipment. That professional polish.

Then 2009 hit. The GFC. Our customers, often builders and developers, started going under. They owed us money. A lot of money.

I'd taken £125,000 out of my house, thinking I could pay it back.

I couldn't.

Liquidation. That's the word you never think you'll use about something you built from nothing.

16 years later from that heartache, I'm back on the bus. An Australian one, not a Scottish one.

Farzan and I are building Kaddim (soon to be brokerdocs). Document collection software for Australian mortgage brokers, and we're starting lean again. But mentally, I'm back in that headspace.

When you're carrying a vacuum on the 23 bus, you spend nothing unless it's absolutely necessary. 

Every pound works twice. You stay lean.

That scrappy version of me built something from zero. 

The polished version lost £125,000 trying to look the part.

23 years later, starting again, I know which version I need to be.

Australian mortgage broker document collection needs a person.

But that person shouldn't be chasing.

They shouldn't be:
- Sending the 4th reminder email
- Wondering which client is holding things up
- Renaming all the files

They should be overseeing.
Not doing the heavy lifting.

Request. Remind. Review. Rename. Relax.

07 Small Things You Can Do This Month to Set 2026 on Fire!🔥 

Do these before 2026, if you’re serious about growth (Because a new year doesn’t change your life... your actions do)!

1️⃣ Fix your digital first impression.

Your website, LinkedIn, or portfolio should look like someone serious about their craft.... not “work in progress.”

2️⃣ DM 10 people who might need your service. 

Don’t wait for leads. Reach out... even if it feels uncomfortable. Your next client might be 1 message away.

3️⃣ Create a clear offer. 

Stop saying “I do design / dev / marketing.” Start saying: I help X achieve Y through Z. Clarity sells.

4️⃣ Post your story. 

Not “perfect advice.” Your real story. People don’t buy services, they buy people they trust.

5️⃣ Build one repeatable habit for your business. 

30 mins of outreach. 1 post per week. 1 learning per day. Small habits compound.

6️⃣ Reflect on your 2025 journey. 

What actually worked? What drained you? Keep the first. Drop the second.

7️⃣ Celebrate your small wins. 

You survived, learned, and improved this year... that’s already a big deal.


Don’t wait for January to “start fresh.” Start finishing strong. The energy you build now will decide how 2026 begins! 💪

7 Easy Ways to Get Clients on LinkedIn!

Beginners are going from zero calls to paid projects in weeks. Intermediates are moving from inconsistent leads to steady monthly clients.

No matter your experience, the process stays the same. If you want clients, you need visibility, trust, and proof.

▶️ Here’s how you build all three:

01. People buy from creators they trust

Not the ones who post the most. Your content should feel like real advice from someone who has actually done the work.

02. Follow people who are already where you want to be.

Study their patterns. Engage with their community. This is the fastest way to grow without guessing.

03. Your network defines your opportunities.

Engage with founders, marketers, agency owners... the people who can hire you.

04. Comments are your fastest growth tool.

Thoughtful comments give you instant access to someone else’s entire audience.

05. Case studies are the strongest client magnet in 2025.

Even small wins, redesigns, or mock projects build credibility fast.

06. DM like a human, not a pitch bot.

You don’t need long scripts. Send something helpful: an idea, a headline tweak, a UX suggestion.

07. Repeat your winning posts every month.

Your audience resets every 30 days. Your best content should come back again.

✔️ They find you through your consistent content and comments.
✔️ They follow you for your insights, clarity, and proof.
✔️ They engage with you because you solve real problems.

If you're serious about getting clients on LinkedIn, follow me. I’m sharing the exact strategies we use every day! 🙌
