Choosing a broker
What a finance broker in Sydney should do for you
A good broker widens your options and narrows your risk: more lenders in play, the trade-offs explained before you commit, and one person accountable from quote to settlement.
A finance broker sits between you and the lenders. Instead of applying to one bank and taking whatever comes back, the broker checks your situation against a panel of lenders, tells you which ones are likely to say yes and on what terms, and runs the application so you are not repeating yourself. For business finance the broker also structures the deal: term, balloon, security and documentation level all change the rate and the approval odds.
How to choose a finance broker in Sydney
- Licence and membership. Search the Australian Credit Licence on ASIC's register and confirm AFCA membership. Lyft Money holds ACL 541052 and is AFCA member 93387.
- A real panel. Ask how many lenders they compare and whether they show you more than one option. Our panel is 48+ lenders, listed on this page.
- Paid how, and disclosed when. Lender commission is normal; it should be disclosed before you sign, not after.
- Reviews you can read. Look for volume and recency, not just a star rating. Ours are on Google: 5.0 from 340 reviews.
- Local knowledge. A broker who knows Sydney knows which lenders like the local industries and which assets settle quickly here.
How Lyft Money works in Sydney
Lyft Money is a Sydney business. Our office is at Level 14, 3 Parramatta Square, and Anthony, Stefan and Kris regularly meet clients on site across the metropolitan area — at a yard, a workshop or a clinic rather than in a branch. Documents are handled online and settlements are arranged Australia-wide, so a Sydney client and a supplier in another state is routine.
Sydney’s overheads make unsecured working capital more commonly needed here than anywhere else in the country: rent, wages and insurance run at a level that leaves little buffer when a customer pays late. Lenders on our panel assess Sydney applicants on bank statements and trading history rather than location, but they do notice the fixed cost base. We size facilities against a quiet month, because a Sydney quiet month is expensive.
Questions to ask any broker
- Which Australian Credit Licence do you operate under, and are you an AFCA member?
- How many lenders do you actually compare, and can you show me more than one option?
- How are you paid, and will you disclose the commission before I sign?
- Who handles my file after settlement if something changes?
- What can you settle in a week, and what takes longer?
What you get with Lyft Money

Why Sydney borrowers use a broker
Sydney is Australia’s largest business economy, dominated by financial and professional services in the CBD, technology and media through the inner suburbs, and a vast base of construction, logistics and light manufacturing spread across the west and south-west. Commercial rents and wage costs are the highest in the country, so businesses here carry more fixed overhead and feel payment delays faster than operators in smaller markets.

Industries we know in Sydney
Assets commonly financed in Sydney
Do I need to come into the Parramatta office?
No. Most Sydney clients deal with their broker by phone, email and video, and sign electronically. The office at Level 14, 3 Parramatta Square is there if you prefer to meet in person; hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 5:30pm.
What does a finance broker cost in Sydney?
In most cases nothing directly. The lender pays Lyft Money a commission when the loan settles, and we disclose it before you sign. Where a fee applies, for example on a complex or private deal, it is quoted in writing before any work starts. You are never charged for a comparison or a quote.
How do I check a finance broker is legitimate?
Search the broker's Australian Credit Licence on ASIC's Professional Registers and confirm they are a member of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA). Lyft Money operates under ACL 541052 and is AFCA member 93387. Then read recent Google reviews and ask how many lenders they compare and how they are paid.
Is Lyft Money a lender or a broker?
We are a finance broker. We compare suitable options from our lender panel and help you through the process. We explain any broker fee and how we are paid before you proceed. The lender assesses and decides the application.
Will checking my options affect my credit file?
Making an initial enquiry is not the same as applying to a lender. We discuss your circumstances and likely options first. Your broker will explain any credit check that is required and obtain your consent before proceeding.
Do I have to proceed after enquiring?
No. You can review the options and ask questions before deciding. Nothing is submitted to a lender without your go-ahead.
How many lenders does Lyft Money work with?
We hold accreditations with a panel of more than 18 lenders, spanning major banks, non-bank asset financiers, specialist commercial funders, invoice and trade finance providers and short-term fintech lenders. A panel matters because credit appetite varies enormously: an asset or an industry that one funder avoids may be routine for another. We select from the panel based on your circumstances rather than sending the same application everywhere.
How does Lyft Money get paid?
Lenders typically pay us a commission when a loan settles, and in some cases a broker fee applies which we disclose before you proceed. We explain how we are paid for your specific loan before anything is submitted.
What can I do if I am unhappy with your service?
Tell us first — raise it with your broker or ask for it to go to our internal complaints process, and we will investigate and respond. If you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can take the matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent external dispute resolution scheme we are a member of. AFCA is free for consumers and small businesses. We will give you our complaints details and AFCA's contact details on request.
Are you licensed, and what does that cover?
Lyft Capital Pty Ltd holds Australian Credit Licence 541052. A credit licence is required to arrange consumer credit regulated by the NCCP Act — for example a personal car loan or a personal loan — and brings obligations around responsible lending, disclosure and dispute resolution. Commercial lending to a business for business purposes is generally outside that regime, but we apply the same standards of disclosure to it. We are also a member of AFCA.
