Finance Broker
Everything from housing loans, car loans, equipment loans (hire purchase / leasing etc), boat loans, commercial loans, business finance, corporate finance, Property development finance, you name it anything with the word finance in it and I can do it. (FBL 3305)
Happy to look after any fishwrecked member at no charge (because the banks pay me in most cases.) If you are a business man that's where I can help you the most. 26 years experience with many of those years at executive level in the major banks.

Sheesh Street, I might have to put advertising charges on this thread. ;)
I have a diploma and a degree in management and a bit of experience in the field. Has really helped me in getting fishwrecked to where it is now and who knows what doors it may open after a year of experience in the fisheries research department.
