About Viewpoint Finance Group

At Viewpoint Finance Group, we help Australians make smart, informed finance decisions.

Franchise finance is our specialty, but our expertise extends across business loans, SMSF lending, home loans, investment finance, and refinancing.

Meet Shawn Gower

Director & Lending Specialist

Shawn Gower brings nearly 25 years of experience in the banking and financial industry. He began his career as a business banker before moving into mortgage and finance broking, where he has built a reputation as a trusted and knowledgeable adviser.

Shawn is passionate about helping individuals and businesses achieve their financial goals through clear advice and practical strategies. He values long-term relationships and believes the best outcomes come from understanding each client’s unique situation.

His background in business banking, combined with hands-on broking experience, allows him to see both the lender and client perspective. This insight helps clients navigate complex lending decisions with clarity and confidence.

A Broader Lending Capability

While franchise finance is a core focus, Viewpoint Finance Group offers a complete lending service.

We assist with:

  • Business loans for SMEs across a range of industries
  • SMSF lending for compliant property investment
  • Home loans for owner-occupiers and first home buyers
  • Investment loans for residential property investors
  • Refinancing to improve structure, rates, or flexibility
This breadth allows us to support clients as their needs evolve over time.

Looking for franchise lending? It's what we do best.

Franchise lending is different to standard finance.

Each brand has its own model, costs, and lender requirements. Getting this wrong can lead to delays, declined applications, or costly mistakes.

We specialise in franchise finance because we understand how lenders assess franchise businesses. We know what they look for, how to position applications properly, and how to align funding with the franchise model and your personal circumstances.

Experience allows us to guide clients through

  • Buying a new or existing franchise
  • Funding fit-outs, equipment, and setup costs
  • Structuring working capital and cash flow
  • Expanding into additional franchise locations
  • Reviewing or refinancing existing franchise loans
