FEATURED EXCELLENCE AWARDEE

Our service is organically direct to client, and we do not pay for referrals or sell through other brokers. We meet every client, invest the time to understand their business, write our own credit papers and take the journey with the client all the way through to repayment of the debt. This includes annual reviews and ongoing support throughout the lifetime of the loan regardless if we get trailing commission or not. BF Money offer a wide range of loan products from major banks, institutional and specialty lenders. Loan products that often have a different approach to risk analysis and wider credit appetites for savvy property investors. BF Money see themselves as ‘story tellers’ of our client’s business and circumstances. And the best stories come from the deepest research and knowledge. Our system enhances that knowledge and increases our speed to market. This has improved our market presence and branding to new heights and this gap will continue to widen over time.

Since 1999, BF Money have arranged commercial mortgages and development finance. Our focus is on high-net-worth individuals, aspirational, active property investment clients, often with complex legal and accounting structures.

I co-founded Shielded Insurance Brokers with my 2 business partners in 2016. Since Shielded’s inception we have grown from a team of 3 to over 50 staff and expanded to 2 locations. I work with my co-founders to implement strategy and leverage technology to supercharge the efficiency of an insurance brokerage. Streamlining internal procedures and identifying niche market spaces has yielded our company 100% growth rates in our earlier years as a smaller company, and 40% growth in our more recent years as a larger business. Seeing Shielded Insurance Brokers as a finalist in the Top Brokerage award in the last 3 years, alongside myself being nominated for Young Gun the last 2 years is a testament to the hard work we have put in. Alongside many of my peers whom have also been nominated for an array of accomplishments. It has been a challenging yet rewarding journey to grow a powerful brand in a competitive insurance space, navigating the everchanging landscape of insurers & underwriters and adapting to industry reform has been some of the challenges – however, seeing the progress of our 50 strong team makes it all worth it.
