WHAT WE DO
Gather
The first step of our clients journey is to gather information about their goals and needs to determine what they want from a loan. Following this we gather financial information to assess how much you can borrow and which lenders may be suitable to your needs.
Assess
Once we have a list of suitable lenders based on your needs and goals, we will review the shortlist and make detailed comparisons of each of the lenders. We will then provide a recommendation as to which lender we believe to be most appropriate for you.
Apply
The application process can be difficult. Different lenders have different requirements and they can change regularly. Having someone to manage this process for you that knows what is required can really help. Not only does it speed up the application process, it also ensures you know what is happening each step of the way
Review
Over time your circumstances change and your existing finance arrangements may not be suitable. Over time different lenders will update their offers and perhaps offer significant savings compared with your existing arrangement. It is important that your loan is regularly reviewed to ensure you are in the most suitable product
Financial Planning
Through our sister company, Plan Protect Pty Ltd, We can offer Financial Planning Advice. Plan Protect can assist you with all your financial planning, personal insurance, superannuation and investment needs.

Janne
Credit Representative
I founded this business in 2004 just after I commenced my financial planning company so I could provide additional service to my clients.
My home is on the beautiful Northern Beaches of Sydney. I also enjoy frequent trips to Byron Bay, the Hunter Valley and France as well as other overseas destinations.
I have two sons, Byron and Lee. Byron and wife Bec have two beautiful daughters, Lily and Anastasia. Lee and wife Katie have a gorgeous daughter, Zara and a beautiful baby boy Reggie. I am lucky as they all live locally and I can enjoy their company on a regular basis.
I believe that education is extremely important when handling the life savings of others and have kept myself actively educated throughout my career. Starting with a degree in Economics: Bachelor of Arts (Econ), I have also completed four diplomas: Diploma in Education, Diploma in Financial Advice, Diploma of Management and Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management.
