Franchise Loans

Buying into a franchise can be a lucrative investment. Our Mortgage Brokers have access to competitive franchise loans to help finance the initial costs, including setup, fit-out, and franchise fees, reducing the burden on your own funds or assets.

Debtor Finance

We broker quality cost-effective debtor finance solutions from specialised lenders. Debtor finance can be either disclosed or undisclosed to your customers. In a disclosed arrangement, your customers are aware that their invoices are being financed, whereas in an undisclosed arrangement, they are not informed. With a full ledger facility, all invoices are subject to the finance arrangement. In contrast, selective invoicing allows you to choose which invoices to finance, providing greater flexibility in managing your businesses cash flow.

Debtor finance is based on the value of your business’s accounts receivable ledger. It provides:

  • Improved Cash Flow: Access funds tied up in unpaid invoices

  • No Real Estate Security Required: Unlike traditional loans

  • Fast Access to Funds: Get paid immediately without waiting 30, 60, or 90 days
