Your independent equipment finance brokers
Specialists in equipment finance and cash flow solutions.
Why choose Access Capital?
For more than 30 years, we’ve been providing fast, efficient and highly personalised finance solutions to clients across Australia.
We understand the ebb and flow of business cycles, particularly those influenced by seasonal factors. Which is why we never take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead we make it our priority to broker a finance solution to fit the individual needs of your business. If quarterly, annual or even seasonal repayments make it easier to manage your cash flow, that’s the solution we’ll deliver.
As NCCP licensed and fully independent equipment finance brokers, the primary commitment we have is to you and your best interests.
Fast, flexible and hassle-free
Does the thought of sifting through complex financial jargon to try and determine which finance solution will be best for you seem all too hard and overwhelming?
Are you sick of waiting for responses to queries when you need to make a decision fast, or receiving sales-pitches when all you want is the right information?
Let us do the heavy lifting on your behalf. We know all the right questions to ask to find the best finance solution for your business. Over the years we’ve built working relationships with a diverse and ever-growing selection of reputable lenders, which means we already know which financier is likely to be the best fit for your specific needs.
The end result is a quick, convenient, customised financial solution.
It couldn’t be easier.
