Specialising in structuring complex deals
For sophisticated investors & developers
CAPABILITIES
Initial Meeting
At the outset we spend the requisite time needed to clearly understand a client’s present situation and objectives, and then from there, develop a financing strategy to meet those objectives.
Appropriate Loan Structuring
Correct loan structuring is critical. However, this can vary considerably based on a client’s circumstances and objectives. We will work with you or your advisor to ensure an appropriate solution is implemented.
Releasing Equity
Every lender has a different Credit Policy. We understand the nuances and variations from one lender to another and will be able to recommend options that meet your criteria in order for you to be able to mobilise equity
More competitive loan rates
Interest rates, features, fees and conditions are generally negotiable – optimising these can make a huge difference. We will use the strength of our relationships with lenders to get the best deal.
Independent Loan advice
Poor or conflicting loan advice can prevent you from moving forward. Our knowledge and experience allows us to sort through complex situations and explain matters in simple and easy to understand terms. We pride ourselves on providing ‘client’s best interest advice‘.
We have no bias toward any particular lender and so can be completely independent when offering this advice.
Self Employed and Complex Structures
We deal with complex structuring on a daily basis. Many of our clients are self employed and/or have more than one entity to be reviewed re tax returns and financials.
Often we might be dealing with multiple trusts/properties and businesses. We know which lenders have an appetite for particular structures and know how to present such deals accordingly.
Asset Protection and tax are the 2 most common reasons we are put in touch with a client’s accountant when looking to get loan structuring right.
Property reports
We subscribe to various industry expert services like Core Logic and Price Finder. We are able to provide quality property reporting for all states and territories at no cost to you.
