The aim was to offer the people of southern Tasmania the same wide range of services so valued in the north, especially by families and small to medium businesses.
Operations moved to 171 Macquarie Street in central Hobart in 2003, and then two years later jumped over the road to the well-known site previously occupied for many decades by the Kevin Corby pharmacy.
This has been the home of Finance Brokers of Tasmania for the past 11 years after a major renovation to create modern, spacious offices.
In 2009 Finance Brokers of Tasmania amalgamated its operations with the New Town-based Wellington Finance Brokers which included a division specifically catering for home and investment loans - Excell Home Loans.
In 2014 another finance broking company, Financial Advisory Services, was purchased.
This was predominantly a machinery, vehicle and equipment finance brokering operation which continues to offer a statewide service under the banner of the original company.
The Hobart office is managed and serviced by experienced brokers Michael Horne and Janet Mee with brokers Robert Button and Helen Gray serving the needs of many Hobart businesses and families.
Mr Horne said that the two acquired operations had clients statewide which was soon extended to include the Bass Strait islands and many other regional and rural areas of the state.
“Both the Hobart and Launceston offices also see an ever growing number of interstate clients that are being referred by Tasmanian contacts who, in turn, refer other interstate borrowers,” Mr Horne said.
Nine of the 13 staff at Finance Brokers of Tasmania hold Diplomas in Mortgage Lending and the company holds its own credit license.
Borrowers are protected by mandatory professional indemnity insurance and both internal and external dispute resolution options should clients ever feel the need to pursue.
