The city of Orange and NSW’s central west has been a thriving area  for some time now. Mining and related industries are running at full steam while agriculture is enjoying a resurgence. Yet despite the positive conditions, access to business finance remains the biggest stumbling block to grow amongst small to medium size businesses.

So we’ve decided it is timely for Finlease to make a move into Orange and have appointed Michael Abberton to head up our operation there. Michael is an entrenched Orange identity and has worked in all areas including equipment finance, commercial property finance and more. In his previous role, Michael has been servicing a broad region from Bourke to Lithgow. As vast as this territory may be, we’re able to reach out well beyond the region giving local businesses access to financiers all around the country. This includes the critical second tier regional banks and specialist lenders who are typically more disposed to small to medium business finance.

So whether it’s equipment finance, fleet leasing, IT rentals or property finance that is required, Finlease has the clout of having over $350 million worth on funds on loan annually to secure the fund. We’re really excited about Orange and will do our utmost to contribute to the growth of this vibrant area.
