ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

Not your average Finance Brokers

With over 40 years of combined experience, we of course know a thing or two about Finance.  But if what you’re really looking for are people who speak your language, and can think outside the square to create solutions, then Surf Coast Finance is for you.

​

We primarily provide families and local businesses on the Surf Coast a solutions based approach to a wide range of Finance needs.  Of course we travel further, but our clients are typically a bit like us.  We’re about creating the opportunity to build a worthy and balanced lifestyle for ourselves and our families.  We love the outdoors, and we love being a part of this wonderful Surf Coast community that we get to call home.

​

So whether you’re looking to buy your first home or expanding your growing business, we’d love to chat about how we can help you make smart finance decisions. 

So grab a coffee, and give us a call.  We’ll have an initial chat, and then tell you what we need to have a look at before we catch up and discuss some options with you.

​

We look forward to working together!
