A relationship-focused approach sits at the heart of everything we do

For over 40 years, Ledge Finance has specialised in tailoring finance solutions for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and commercial clients across Western Australia.

Ledge strongly emphasises finance and commercial risk management, which is a significant advantage in an uncertain world of fluctuating interest rates and financial markets.

Supporting Norwest Crane Hire

Earlier this year, Norwest Crane Hire approached Ledge for a debt solution to fund their expanding fleet.

We successfully navigated this process with the Norwest management team to build the business’s credit profile.

This strategy assisted in securing a spread of equipment finance providers in the broader market, has supported Norwest’s business growth and helped them manage their commercial and financial risk.

A relationship-focused approach

At Ledge, a relationship-focused approach sits at the heart of everything we do.

Tony Del Popolo, Ledge Finance’s Chief Operating Officer, says that during his tenure, the level of engagement with clients had become far deeper than purely dry lend transactions and required a deeper understanding of how clients wanted to grow their businesses.

When we look at responsible lending in a commercial context, it has become a complex conversation.

We must have a deep understanding of the client’s business we are working with, their clients, their contractual engagement, and what the future of their business looks like moving forward.

In addition, we want to establish mutual trust with our clients, so we are comfortable picking up the phone to talk with them about their needs, whether that be for equipment finance, finance for acquisitions or expansion, or even discussing if it’s time to consider a trade sale.”

Tony Del Popolo, Chief Operating Officer – Ledge Finance

At Ledge, we have developed long-term relationships with our clients and a variety of lenders and financiers, which leaves our business in a solid position to help our clients reach their goals.

Clients have commented, ‘We have Ledge Finance on standby so we can purchase new equipment and get it on the road promptly. They’ve allowed us to grow and expand–to grab and go for it. It’s great to know we can take opportunities as and when we want to do so.”
