OUR SUCCESS STORIES

Real, practical, finance solutions for every day Aussie businesses.

At Apace Finance, we believe that behind every business loan is a dream, a challenge, or a turning point. We’re more than commercial finance brokers—we’re partners to business owners across Australia who work hard, take risks, and build the backbone of our economy.

From truck drivers in regional towns to hospitality owners in bustling city streets, our clients come from all walks of life. What unites them is their grit and determination—and what drives us is being able to stand beside them through every decision, every challenge, and every win. Our work is deeply personal, shaped by relationships and built on trust. When a business owner says, “You made this easier than I expected—and now I feel like I’ve got someone in my corner”—we know we’ve done our job.

CASE STUDY 1 - EQUIPMENT FINANCE

Stitching Success with Asset Finance

Background

Alice, a local business owner in Brisbane, had recently taken the exciting step of purchasing a franchise in the custom apparel space. Like many small business owners, she found herself in need of working capital to support daily operations and future growth.

Our Solution

We worked closely with Alice to assess her financial position and identified an opportunity to release equity from existing assets. By leveraging these assets as security, we were able to offer a more competitive interest rate and structure the loan with longer terms—creating manageable, stress-free repayments.

The Result

With her finances stabilised and cash flow improved, Alice not only expanded her retail offering but also brought her son on board as a part-time manager, strengthening the family business.

CASE STUDY 2 - REFINANCE

Fueling Stability with Debt Consolidation & Refinancing

Background

Michael, a long-standing client and service station owner, came to us with multiple short-term working capital loans taken out to initially fund his operations. The repayments were placing pressure on his monthly cash flow, and the lack of lender flexibility around service station security had limited his refinance options.

Our Solution

We consolidated his existing debts into a single, streamlined facility with a lower interest rate and extended repayment terms. Additionally, we successfully refinanced his commercial property loan over a longer term—something that had previously been out of reach due to his unique business type.

The Result

Michael now enjoys simpler repayments, improved cash flow, and greater financial freedom to focus on running his business.
