As a specialist lender, we pick up where the banks give up. We offer short term, customised lending solutions to help secure better opportunities for Kiwis and get them from A to B.
There are no impersonal algorithms here. Instead, we put faces to numbers and people at the heart of everything we do. Being 100% independent also means we have the freedom to work in the best way for us and our clients – together.
We take time to get to know the people we’re lending to and understand individual circumstances. We work with a small group of financial advisers and most of our loan applications come through advisers we’ve worked with before.

It’s this cycle of finding good quality loans and offering them to investors that keeps our business in balance.
