About Us.

We’re The Finance Experts.


At Financewest we focus on providing choice in lenders, clarity and expert advice to organise the right loans and finance structure for our clients to reach their goals.

To save you time, we remove the hassle of dealing directly with multiple banks. We ensure we get you the best finance solution, at the best price and we are not restricted to only the products your current bank offers.

With our extensive experience we make the most complex applications feel simple.  We understand how banks view applications, who has the cheapest and most appropriate loans for you, and which bank is most likely to approve your application.

Financewest can help everyone from first home buyers to investors, property developers, business owners and farmers, with all forms of personal and business finance, including commercial property purchases, working capital, loans through Self Managed Super Funds, agri-finance, and equipment and vehicle finance.

Based in Burswood but using the existing network of our referral partners’ offices though WA, we have the capacity to help with your finance needs no matter where you may be based.

Contact us to see how we can be your in-house finance expert or dedicated bank manager, ensuring we organise loans that are in your best interest – not your bank’s.

Tailored Fit.

It can be confusing trying to understand and compare so many finance options, especially when all the lenders have such different fee and interest rate structures, and often their own jargon to explain it. This makes it very difficult to know what fits you best.

Financewest has the knowledge and experience to help you understand and compare these options, and then tailor the best solution to meet your needs.

Greater Chance of Approval

All lenders have different policies and guidelines, and differ in how they measure your capacity to meet your commitments. Consequently this means some lenders are more likely to approve your proposal than others. This is why it is so important to have an experienced broker that you trust, who understands your situation and can find the right lender to secure the finance you need.
