Using a Broker

 
In the last five years, Australians’ perception of banks has changed. For many, dealing with banks has become a challenging and sometimes confusing process. As banks become more hands-off with their customers, more people are turning to brokers for help with their finance needs. This trend leaves room for brokers to step in and provide support when customers need it most. They can offer an easier, more straightforward process for those clients, such as the self-employed, who don’t fit the traditional banks’ model of an ideal customer. This growing market share of brokers not only creates greater efficiency but also allows them to be more competitive. Here are three key reasons why second-tier lenders are growing in popularity with borrowers in Australia. Personal borrowers
Whatever your business needs, a finance broker can help you get approval for the most appropriate and cost-effective solution. Small business owners who need money to expand, invest in new equipment or smooth out their cash flow often head straight for the bank.

Following the lodgement of a home loan application, hopeful borrowers are often keen to know what will happen next and how long it will take for them to receive the verdict. The bad news is that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The good news, however, is that a solid application is the key to keeping the approval time short. The amount of time it takes for you to receive a response to your home loan application can vary. An answer is usually received between two days to two weeks, depending on a range of factors. For a reasonably straightforward application, it’s 48 hours to a final approval. But, depending on how complex the circumstances are, it can take longer than that. Before offering conditional

Deciding where to go for your home loan is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. While many prospective property owners will choose to use a mainstream lender, non-bank lenders also have their advantages. What are non-bank lenders? Essentially, a non-bank lender is a lender that’s not a bank, credit union or building society. It has its own source of funds, which it lends out with a margin for profit.
