My husband and I were in the process of purchasing our first business in a well known Aussie franchise that has been doing business successfully for the last 25 years which gave us the confidence in doing so. We sought the assistance of John Fisher of Accord Mortgage Brokers who went to work for us to get us our finance which we thought would be hard as we were first time business owners and myself working in the para legal world for the last 25 years, knew how hard it was getting finance for new business owners. Accord was to apply to our current mortgagee to convince them to continue with our existing loan which was secured by 2 properties comprising a dwelling and the other vacant land, whilst releasing the dwelling and just relying on our vacant land which left us the dwelling unencumbered which then made it possible for us to obtain a loan to help us in purchasing our new franchise. Accord worked tirelessly until they had it just perfect for us which my husband I and were extremely pleased about. It was a very nervous time for us however, with the hard work and dedication shown by John Fisher and Accord Mortgage Brokers, we have now the confidence of requesting further assistance from them in the near future when we negotiate our 2nd store.
