What are you looking to finance?

Choose where to start.

Select the type of finance you want to explore.

Car Finance

New ute, family car or an EV? I'll get you the right loan and show you the real total cost, not just the weekly number the dealer quotes.

Explore car finance

Home Loans

First home, next home, investment or refinance. Self-employed? Not a problem, that's a big chunk of what I do.

Explore home loans

Business Finance

Gear, vehicles, cash flow or a commercial property. I'll find a lender that understands how your business makes money.

Explore business finance
Car Finance

Car finance done properly.

Most people just Google a cheap-looking rate and sign up. That's the wrong approach. A balloon payment that's sized correctly, a loan term that suits your use case, and whether it's structured for business or personal, these decisions change the real cost significantly.

Balloon payments structured for your cashflow, not just to lower your repayments

Business use considered, chattel mortgage, novated lease, or personal finance

Tax and GST considerations discussed — confirm specifics with your accountant

What we look at

Before recommending any car finance

Business vs personal use

Determines the loan type and potential tax treatment — confirm deductibility with your accountant

Balloon payment sizing

Lower repayments aren't always better, the balloon must be manageable at term end

Cashflow timing

Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments, matched to when your income actually lands

"Jonathan, I am so glad I came across your content on Instagram! You were upfront, honest, and still tried to help despite the low chances of it working out for me. You came back earlier than expected and offered your guidance even when there was nothing in it for you. This speaks highly of your character and professionalism. Highly recommend CoreLend, 10/10 service."

FAQ

Common questions about finance broking.

If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.

Usually not. The lender pays me a commission when your loan settles. That's how most brokers work. If a fee ever applies, I'll tell you upfront before we start, no surprises. Commission amounts can vary by lender and loan type.
Self-employed applicants can access finance, though lenders may assess income differently depending on your business structure and how long your ABN has been active. We work with lenders experienced in self-employed applications. Subject to lender assessment and individual circumstances.
Timelines vary depending on the lender and your circumstances. We push hard to keep things moving and let you know the moment something changes. Many clients receive conditional approval within a few business days of submitting their application. General information only — your situation may differ.
The repayment is one part of the picture. It's also worth considering the comparison rate, fees, loan term, offset account options, and whether the loan type suits your situation. For car finance, balloon payments and loan terms can significantly affect total cost. General information only — speak with us about your specific circumstances.
It depends on your current rate, remaining loan term, switching costs and break fees. We can help you compare your current loan against available options and explain what a switch may involve. Whether it makes sense depends on your individual circumstances. General information only.
Yes. Investment lending is assessed differently to owner-occupied lending. We work with investors at various stages and can help explain lender options, borrowing considerations and how different loan setups may affect your position. Subject to lender assessment and individual circumstances.
