Private credit in Australia is hidden in plain sight. There is no public register of Australia's 6,000+ Large Proprietary Companies, and searching ASIC only works if you already know what you're looking for. Chreos has done the work to identify this universe, giving you a searchable list of Australia's largest private companies. We then extract lending data from each company's disclosures and set it alongside its financials and ownership chain. Related entities are linked under a single Group ID, so each group's full debt footprint is in one place. The result: lenders, advisers and investors can now find opportunities they couldn't see before.
We're inviting a small group into the Chreos pilot.
Chreos maps Australia's Large Proprietary Companies, a population with no single public source, alongside ASX-listed companies carrying more than $25 million in corporate debt, and turns what they disclose into three connected views. Select a set of companies in one, and the others follow. Screening coverage spans the full identified universe. Company information, loan-level data and financials are built out company by company, and each record is published with its extraction date.
The data behind it stays live and is continuously scanned for updates. As well as tracking public registers, we scan market and media coverage and other public signals for refinancings, ownership changes and other developments as they emerge. Updates continue throughout the year, pulling data from traditional and non-traditional sources alike into one continuously updated register.
Lender, facility type, limit, balance, rate and maturity — captured wherever the underlying filing discloses it, across third-party and related-party facilities alike.
P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, traced back to the original source.
Ultimate owner, group linkage and listing status — so you can confirm who's really behind a name, or catch that two companies are the same group, before you commit time to either.
The usual workflow runs backwards: find a name first, then spend money on a Form 388 or an evening in an annual report to find out if it's worth pursuing. Chreos flips it — screen the full universe of Large Proprietary and ASX-listed companies against the criteria you actually care about. You decide what's worth a closer look, and what's worth the primary source, before you spend a cent or an hour finding out.
Chreos is a publisher of information compiled from public sources. It is general information only, not financial product advice or a recommendation, and should be verified against the primary source before it is relied on.
Trace ultimate parents across foreign-listed, ASX-listed, PE-backed and private structures.
Every facility broken out by lender, type, rate, margin, security and maturity — not just a balance sheet total.
P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, sourced and page-referenced back to the lodged document.
Filter on facility size, lender, maturity or leverage across the whole register, and know which Form 388s are actually worth purchasing before you spend on a single one.
Chreos is running a limited pilot with a small group of Australian credit and advisory firms. Participants get full access to the register at no cost for the pilot term. In return we ask for something more valuable than a fee: your judgement on whether the data is right, whether the layout works, and whether any of it changes a decision you would actually make.
Chreos is built for the people who use it daily: credit analysts, lenders and PE investors covering the Australian mid-market and institutional debt space. It's not open to the public, and not for redistribution.

SIGN INChréos (χρέος) is the modern Greek word for debt. Its older sense runs deeper than money: what is owed, what is due, what must be accounted for. Debt has always been a matter of record.
In archaic Athens, that record was physical: a stone marker, a horos, driven into mortgaged land. Anyone could walk the fields and read exactly who owed what, to whom.
Today, there is no single field to walk. The record is scattered across ASIC lodgements, ASX disclosures and ownership filings; some public, some private, none of it in one place.
Chreos connects them into one record — one field to walk.
