The Story
Securing a self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) commercial investment loan is a rigorous process that is often scrutinised for its length and complexity. It requires SMSF trustees to provide financial statements, tax returns, independent audit results, among other documents.
The effort may seem unbearable for some; however, our brokers are positioned well to make this lengthy process a short and simple experience.

Ron’s accounting firm has a strong financial position, with turnover increasing from 2019 to 2020. This puts Ron and Becky in prime position to secure an SMSF loan.
