WHY USE A MORTGAGE BROKER TO HELP WITH YOUR HOME LOAN?

I love to help people reach their goals whether you are saving to buy your first home, considering refinancing to save on repayments or an investor expanding your portfolio.  

Whatever stage you are at, I’d love to help you reach your property and finance goals.  Some of the benefits of using a mortgage broker to arrange your home loan are:

• Wide range of lenders – With a selection of home loan products from over 30 respected lenders, I can negotiate a great deal for you and find a home loan that matches your unique requirements
• Professional Advice – I meet with you to discuss your needs and goals so I can provide objective and individualised home loan advice to ensure your home loan is suitable for you now and to achieve your future goals
• Convenience – I offer a fully mobile service and come to you when and where it’s convenient.  Appointments are available outside business hours to work around your schedule
• Confidence – How lenders calculate borrowing capacity and what type of loans they will consider is constantly changing. I research which lenders are appropriate given your circumstances to give you the best chance of success with your home loan application
• Save Time – Besides the time you will save by not having to enquire with differently lenders individually, I take on most of the administration required for your application and provide you with regular updates
• No Cost – There is no charge for our home loan services as the lenders pay a commission once your home loan has settled
• Community – We care about our communities.  A donation is made to charity from every home loan settled

• Local – As a local small business owner, I’m motivated to provide a first-rate, personalised services as getting referrals and repeat customers is how I build my business
• Ongoing service – I check in with you regularly after settlement in case your circumstances have changed, to ensure you are still getting a competitive rate and check that the home loan continues to meet your needs

ARE YOU A FAMILY BUSINESS?

Do you have a family business continuity system?
Are you preparing your business for future generations?

Family business is unique, complex, innovative and powerful YET it is Australia’s best kept secret.

A family business IS NOT a small to medium business (SME) – It is far more than that!

Family businesses are the engine room of the Australian economy employing 60% of the total Australian workforce and generating 65% of Australia’s economic activity.

As a family in business you are part of 870,000 in Australia and 110,000 in Queensland – Are you connected?

Family Business Continuity is far more than “succession planning” because it involves all family members. Yes Succession Planning is a part of the puzzle, however so is Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Education and Professional Development, Next Generation Planning, Workforce Planning and Risk Management.

Lloyd is a 4th generation family business member, an internationally accredited family business advisor, a qualified Board Director and an accredited / licensed neuroscience practitioner. He currently holds three Director positions of which are family businesses where he is the Board Chairman.

His business TCB Solutions was established in 2008 as a specialist in the field of strategy, governance and performance specifically for families in business. His has a National and International clientele throughout the blue and grey collar industries of Agriculture, Agri-Business, Manufacturing, Mining / Resource Services and Import / Wholesale sectors ranging in size from $2m to over $500m in annual turnover.

Lloyd works collaboratively with Accountants, Legal professionals, Financial Planners and Financiers to ensure all stakeholders are working as the Succession Team for your family business.
