You run a factory. You make things. And when you need a new machine, the last thing you need is a bank asking for two years of tax returns, a business plan and a meeting at the branch. You need the machine — not the paperwork.
Which One Is You?
Three situations. Three different paths.
Why Us
Same factory. Two very different conversations.
Real Example
A steel fabrication shop in Melbourne's north. ABN 6 years.
Owner runs structural steel through a family trust. Won a string of commercial handrail contracts and needed to add capacity — fast. Bank wanted full company financials, but last year's returns weren't lodged.
What we structured — four facilities, three lenders, placed where the fit was strongest.
6 months of bank statements, ABN, driver's licence, and equipment quotes. No tax returns. No accountant letter. First equipment lender declined the press brake as a standalone deal — so we bundled it with the plasma cutter under one facility. Approved same day.
Day 1 — file packaged. Day 2 — equipment approved. Day 3 — vehicle approved. Day 4 — working capital approved. Day 7 — all settled. Every deal is different — this shows how a pack works when everything's placed with the right lender.
Getting Started
What you'll need to get the conversation going.
One broker. Every machine that matters.
The Pack
What's included — explore deeper.
Each category links to a dedicated page with more detail. Open the ones that matter to you.
CNC routers, lathes, plasma cutters, press brakes, injection moulders, forklifts, conveyor systems, packaging machines, compressors and generators. New, used, imported or private sale. Chattel mortgage, lease, or rental — structured to your tax position.
Registered vehicles go through vehicle finance — separate lender, better rate, faster approval. We structure it as chattel mortgage, hire purchase or lease depending on what suits your tax position.
Unsecured business loans, lines of credit and invoice finance. Bridge the gap between placing a materials order and getting paid. Keep the factory running while you wait for 30–90 day invoices to clear.
Low doc commercial property loans for manufacturers buying their warehouse, factory or industrial unit. Up to 80% LVR through specialist lenders. Stop paying rent on a building you could own.
Get Started
Three quick questions. That's it.
Answer these and we'll know exactly how to help.
Common Questions
Nothing upfront. We don't charge you fees — we get paid by the lender when your deal settles. The callback is free. The eligibility check is free. If we can't help, we'll tell you straight and you won't owe us anything.
We'll call you within 24 hours. The conversation takes about 10 minutes. We'll ask what you need, check your ABN history, and tell you straight if we can help. No credit check. No obligation. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you.
No. The initial conversation and eligibility check don't touch your credit file. A formal credit check only happens after you've agreed to proceed with a specific lender and deal structure — and we'll always tell you before that happens.
Yes. Used machinery (private sale, auction, dealer), imported equipment and ex-demo machines can all be financed. The lender assesses the asset value, not just whether it's new. We work with lenders who understand manufacturing equipment residual values — a 10-year-old CNC lathe with a known resale market is different from a generic office asset.
That's exactly what the pack is for. One broker conversation covers machinery, vehicles, commercial property, working capital and personal home loans. We map everything together so the structures don't conflict and your borrowing capacity is optimised across all facilities.
Still not sure? Get a free callback and we'll talk through what actually fits your situation — no obligation, no credit check.
