What we do.
Highlands Funding provides finance broking services to a national client base across all facets of residential and commercial finance.
With vast industry experience and unique access to residential, commercial and equipment finance lenders, we’re the one-stop-shop for clients ranging from large corporations across broad industry sectors, to first home buyers taking their first steps in the property world.
Our aim is to leverage our decades of experience and extensive lender partnerships to provide clients with fast, effective solutions on fit-for-purpose terms, whilst building long-term relationships that protect our clients from ‘the bank stuff’.
Whilst our clientele is broad, we’ve found particular success for our commercial clients in the agriculture, transport, mining, medical, professional services, retail and property development sectors, where an experienced guiding hand can be the difference that gets projects off the ground, whilst saving significant time and money.
Understanding our clients unique circumstances, and building long-term relationships and financial strategies always has, and always will be the core of our business.
