A Deeper Understanding of Franchise Lending

Franchise Network Knowledge

We work closely with a wide range of established franchise brands across multiple industries. That means we understand how different franchise models operate and what success looks like in practice.

Real Insight from Inside the Franchise System

Our relationships with franchisors give us early visibility into system changes, operational expectations, and growth strategies. This allows us to provide advice that reflects how franchises actually run, not just how they look on paper.

Finance Aligned to Franchise and Lender Expectations

We help align franchise requirements with what lenders want to see. By matching documentation, structure, and financials upfront, we support smoother approvals and better outcomes for both buyers and existing operators.

Franchise Knowledge That Matters

Franchise lending is different to standard business finance. The right structure from the start can make a real difference to approvals, cash flow, and long-term outcomes.

At Viewpoint Finance Group, franchise finance is a core part of what we do. We support franchise buyers and operators with lending that aligns with the franchise model and lender expectations.

We understand how franchise systems operate, including upfront costs, fit-outs, ongoing fees, and cash flow requirements. This insight helps us structure finance that actually works in practice, not just on paper.

How we make franchise lending easier for you

We focus on getting the structure right early, so the lending process runs more smoothly from application through to approval.

  • Finance Aligned to Lender Expectations
Different lenders view franchises differently. We help match your application to lenders who understand franchise models and position it clearly, reducing delays and unnecessary friction.
  • Support at Every Stage
We assist with franchise purchase finance, fit-out and equipment funding, working capital, expansion lending, and franchise refinancing, with advice tailored to where you are now and what comes next.
  • Clear, Practical Advice
You deal directly with an experienced franchise loan expert who explains your options clearly and manages the process from start to settlement. No jargon. No pressure.

Background and Franchise Industry Knowledge

With hands-on experience from owning two franchise businesses and a license operation, I have walked the path that many aspiring franchise business owners desire to reach. My unique perspective as a former franchisee, coupled being a member on their Franchise Advisory Council (FAC) and extensive experience as a business relationship banker, has equipped me with exceptional insights into the challenges and opportunities in this field.

Over the past four years, I have held pivotal roles within the franchise finance industry, including holding roles as the Senior Franchise Business Development Manager for Queensland and NT at ANZ and more recently, as the National Business Development Executive for Franchise Banking at CBA.

Based locally and working nationally, we support franchise clients across Australia through a simple and streamlined process.
