Frequently Asked Questions
A finance broker acts as an advisor to you. Their job is to ascertain your lending requirements and source suitable options to meet your needs. The keyword here is suitable. Finance brokers are governed by strict compliance rules and must not act to your detriment in order to make a financial gain. We have a pool of lenders that we are able to go to for your finance – once we have determined your needs and established which lenders are most suitable, we act as a liaison between you and the bank until the settlement of the loan.
With the ever-changing lending sphere, it’s now more important than ever to choose the right finance broker to achieve your desired goal. How do you know if you’ve found the right finance broker? Talk to them face-to-face and see if you believe they’re working in your best interest. Do your research beforehand to see what their experience is, what qualifications they have, and if they come recommended by friends or family.
The cost to use a mortgage broker will largely depend on which mortgage broker you choose to do business with. In Australia, all mortgage brokers are paid a commission by the lenders to act as the intermediary between you and the lender and to facilitate the financial transaction through to settlement. The commissions paid by each lender vary, however these variations tend to be minor. If the loan does not settle, then there is no remuneration paid.
There are, however, instances where a mortgage broker will not be paid anything at all – for instance, where the mortgage is of such a low amount that the lender does not consider it sufficient enough to pay for or where you are simply negotiating a lower interest rate or swapping to another type of loan. In most cases, mortgage brokers must also pay back some or all of the commissions forwarded if the loan is subsequently paid out within a certain amount of time – usually 12 – 18 months, although the timeframe can be longer.
Our Finance & Lending team offer various business loans including term loans, lines of credit, invoice financing and commercial real estate loans tailored to your specific needs.
Maintain a good credit score, prepare detailed financial statements and work with a finance broker to present a strong application. Keep in mind these steps can enhance your application but do not guarantee loan approval.
Typically, you’ll need identification, financial statements, tax returns, business plans and collateral details, if applicable.
Yes, you can apply for different types of financing based on your needs. Our brokers will help you manage and optimise your applications.
Refinancing involves replacing an existing loan with a new one, typically to secure better interest rates or terms, reducing your overall debt burden.
The interest rate determines your overall loan cost. Lower rates reduce your monthly payments and total payable amount over the loan term.
Yes, our finance brokers can help you refinance existing loans to secure better interest rates or more favourable terms, ultimately saving you money.
The approval time can vary depending on the type of loan and the lender. Our brokers will guide you through the process and provide an estimated timeline based on your specific situation.
How Carbon can help
Our finance brokers were approached to review a building company’s finance structure. Both directors of the building company were uncomfortable that their personal property and spouses’ guarantees tied up with their business. This was a personal risk for the directors, should something unforeseen happen with their business.
Our finance brokers were able to untie the personal property from the financial security, and found alternative collateral for the loans to enable the business the grow.
