How Do I Start ?

Since its beginnings in 1988, City Pacific Finance has grown to become one of Australia’s largest finance broking companies.

The network of City Pacific Finance offices – totalling over 40 from Darwin to Cairns to Melbourne – is unique in the mortgage & finance broking industry, as franchisees are able to offer their clients a wide range of finance types:

• Home loans: owner/ occupier and investment• Commercial loans• Development & construction loans• Leasing and hire purchase finance• Plant and equipment finance• Investment opportunities in City Pacific Mortgage Trust• Insurance premium funding

This means that City Pacific Finance offices become a ‘one stop shop’, enabling them to keep their clients for life, and making the business less susceptible to changes in the property market. There is potential to grow a successful and profitable business, with ongoing revenue from repeat and referral business and through commissions paid by the lenders on most types of loans.
