He then moved into a finance brokerage focused on self-employed clients, where he gained a deep understanding of the complexities faced by business owners and developed extensive experience working with clients from all walks of life.

In 2024, Hayden founded Shoreside Finance with a clear vision to create a brand built on personalised service, trust, and genuine care. His goal was to establish a business where clients feel supported at every stage of their finance journey, backed by experience, integrity, and a commitment to finding the right solutions.
