F I N A N C E F E AT U R E
Bridgecoast Finance Group celebrates 30 years! BRIDGECOAST FINANCE GROUP Pty Limited this year celebrates 30 years of successful trading on the Central Coast. Managing Director Laurie O'Brien , Co-Director Marie O’Brien & staff are proud that Bridgecoast is the largest non-bank financial institution on the Central Coast. "The success comes from the diversification of products," says Laurie. “ We are not in the same business as the Banks in that we don’t’ lend money however we need the Banks for supply”. Laurie added, “We can assist you with vehicle & equipment finance, home & investment loans and personal finance for cars, boats, caravan or motor bikes. We also provide rental finance for computers where it makes financial sense to rent rather than buy. We find the best deal for you saving you time and money!” Working with us at Bridgecoast Finance, you will notice that we do things very differently. Our philosophy is simple – to act as your partners in finance and support you every step of the way. As a result, I take the time to get to know you and your business or organisation well before recommending the best options. This can result in significantly improved cash flow and the potential to save you a fortune in unnecessary fees and interest. And because circumstances and needs change over time, I make it a point to personally stay in touch with you. You will find that many of my clients have been with me for years. Because I know them and their circumstances well, often a phone call is all that’s needed to get the ball rolling for a new finance application. My background in equipment and business finance has given me a unique insight into the under-writing procedures used by commercial lenders. This insight enables me to judge each application for finance from the lender’s perspective. As a result, I work closely with you to ensure the finance proposal I submit on your behalf will satisfy the requirements of the lender. In fact, I will only ever submit a finance proposal to lenders that I believe will approve the loan. Should there be any concern, I will work closely with you until your finance is approved. Bridgecoast Finance has a long history of supporting many community groups through significant sponsorship arrangements and the staff are grateful that the support back to the business has been reciprocated. An example of this community involvement is the former “Bridgecoast Stadium” at Terrigal. Over the years
many junior and social sporting teams have been sponsored by Bridgecoast.” Laurie is also heavily involved in the local community such as Rotary Club of Gosford City, The Haven Education Centre, Coast Shelter, Wild Fig Alliance & others. TESTIMONIAL I would personally like to thank you for your assistance in financing both a motor vehicle and business machinery last month. The embroidery machinery installation has been completed and production is running smoothly. Each time we’ve contacted your company the experience and end result has been exceptional Laurie, and as one of your loyal customers, I continually recommend you to other business owners and also friends. Thank you again to you and your professional staff until next time we speak.
