One might say that building a business is like having a child, it's one of the most rewarding and hardest things anyone can do. You pour your heart and soul into the business however, unfortunately, our risk-averse and shallow pool of lenders in Australia can make growing your personal wealth difficult.

We have extensive experience arranging finance for business owners with structures ranging from sole traders to complex discretionary and unit trusts. We have worked collaboratively with many Accountants and other Advisors to ensure our clients have the best chance of loan approval.

We can identify which lenders have suitable policies based on our individual client's circumstances. For example, some will require more evidence of trading history and profit consistency than others. As a guide, a trading ABN should be registered for at least 18 months, and a business should be able to demonstrate a solid profit (or distribution via wages to Directors etc...), in order to work with mainstream lenders at competitive rates and fees.

Some lenders may use an average or the lower of a client's last two years of profit, and some may use the most recent year of profit. Some lenders have a better understanding of complex company and trust structures than others. Policy knowledge is crucial to a great outcome for our clients.

We are self-employed business owners and we have arranged our own finance on multiple occasions. We have helped many other business owners achieve their financial goals with correct debt structuring. Importantly, we understand financial statements and we can present these to a lender in their most favourable light.
