Australian Finance Partners

What We Do

Australian Finance Partners is a finance broking firm established to help you and your business communicate your finance needs to the banks and obtain fast and efficient finance approvals at the right price. With our history within the banking sector we understand what information banks require and how they need it communicated to make your first pitch to the banks, a successful one. We also understand different banks risk appetites and pricing models to enable us to source the right finance solution for you and your business.

Our focus

Fast and efficient finance approvals

Commercial Finance

Your business is unique and requires finance solutions tailored to its goals. Commercial finance is not a one size fits all approach. Aus Fin Partners ask the right questions to gain a full understanding of your business that enables us to source the right facilities for you. We also understand that creating a long term sustainable working relationship with a bank can be difficult with constant banker turnover. We provide you a longer term relationship to support you and your business manage its banking facilities.

Home Finance

With home loan offerings across different financiers constantly changing, it is important to have a finance broker who understands which current offering best suits your needs. It is also just as important to have a finance broker who can proactively inform you as to competitive offerings in the market. Aus Fin Partners provides an ongoing relationship and contact point for you to ensure your home loan remains right for your circumstances.

Equipment Finance

Trucks, motor vehicles, buses, shop fit outs, earthmoving equipment, cranes, forklifts, even computer hardware can all be financed instead of draining your business cashflow. Different equipment finance structures can be used that result in different tax implications. Depending on your business position and need, this finance solution can be tailored to suit your cashflow needs and can lead to beneficial tax implications.

Property Finance

is an increasingly complex area of financing. As legislation changes requiring banks to set aside larger amounts of capital, different financiers appetites and rates can vary greatly. Aus Fin Partners can help you explore the market for the structures to suit your specific needs. With construction projects, we present to financiers on your behalf, helping them understand your project and what debt instruments are required to enable successful project completion, enabling fast and efficient approval.

Testimonials

” If the banks say NO, or you feel you are not getting the service you require, may I suggest you call Tom at Ausfin as it is a call you will never regret making. We run a successful family business in Tasmania and the banks could not see a way to loan us additional funds to expand our business, we contacted Tom and within a week the other 3 banks were falling over themselves to do a deal and all we had to do was speak with Tom. The future growth of our SME is now very solid but had we listened to the first refusal we received, we would still be treading water. If you are struggling with the ” big boys” and the advice they are giving, do yourself a favour and give Tom a call, its as simple as that.
