I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrew Chisholm at Finlease in the ACT. Andrew secured a loan for both an excavator and a work Ute, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the initial consultation to the final approval, Andrew demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of my needs and the industry… Read more · 2
that I work in.
What really stood out was his commitment to finding the best financing options available. He took the time to explain every detail, making the process clear and stress-free. Not only did Andrew help me navigate through the paperwork, but he also provided valuable advice on choosing the right equipment for my business.
Thanks to his hard work, I received competitive rates and terms that perfectly suited my situation. Communication was prompt, thorough, and friendly, making me feel supported every step of the way.
I highly recommend Andrew and Finlease Firm to anyone in need of equipmemt/vechile financing solutions. His expertise and dedication made a significant difference in my experience, and I look forward to working with him again for any future financing needs!
A scam lease/rental company that must border on illegal - and actually is in this instance – We were told multiple times in writing by Finlease that there is no final payout (technically $1 but never charged) to keep the goods, and that debits will stop at the end of the agreement period. Our first agreement kept debiting for months after the agreement ended, and Finlease refused to refund it when it was eventually stopped. Unfortunately… Read more
in this time we had entered into more agreements. It was re-confirmed at this point when we finally resolved it that there is no final payout. The next agreement then also continued to be debited past the agreement date. Contacting the rep about this takes multiple follow-up emails, before getting a response that does not even answer the questions asked or provide the information needed. Now they're trying to charge us a final payout amount, are seemingly not refunding the continued charges, and will not give confirmation of the debit stopping. Having reached out to a few other companies I know to have used Finlease, they are all out of pocket thousands of dollars for this same behaviour. Looking at all the positive reviews, you'll notice they're all at the start of engagement where they've just been sold on a dream. The negative reviews are of course at the end, when you continue to be charged and it's nearly impossible to have the debits terminated.

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Abberton as my finance broker for over 30 years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Most recently, Michael organised the finance for my Range Rover Sport, and as always, the process was seamless, efficient, and completely stress-free. His knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail… Read more · 1
are second to none.
Over the years, Michael has arranged equipment and vehicle finance for every vehicle owned by my company. He understands our business, our needs, and always works hard to secure the best possible outcome. I trust him completely, which is why I continue to use his services decade after decade.
Michael is an absolute pleasure to deal with — approachable, reliable, and exceptionally good at what he does. Anyone looking for a finance broker who genuinely cares and delivers outstanding results would be in very safe hands with him.

Not without issues – 1.Monthly payment quoted was one figure. Actual repayment on documents was circa 5% higher when documents were prepared 14 days later. Was mostly corrected when disputed. 2. Document Fee of $400 seems excessive and not in disclosed when quoted. Otherwise OK to deal with.

Disappointing and Stressful – What should have been quick and easy turned out to be long, frustrating and stressful. We missed out on 2 bargains because of the delays, costing us thousands. Poor communication: The Broker refused to answer phone calls, only communicated via email, which only added to the delays. Even the Lender said that they were unable to contact him by… Read more
phone. Broker could have warned us ahead of time about certain pre settlement paperwork we would be needing, instead it was all left until the last minute, adding to the stress. Because everything was left until the last minute, we were not given time to check loan information, rates . repayments etc before we had to sign it.

Never Again! – By far the worst company to ever deal with when it comes to customer service & communication! They start off great when they want your business, but when the contract comes to an end and you are led to believe when you signed up that it does end, it in fact doesn't & they continue to charge thousands for equipment that you believe is already paid… Read more
for. Be careful they don't continue to charge you... make sure you read your T&C's before signing, because when queried on certain clauses, the staff can't, or won't, answer any questions you have about them.
To us, they are a big company that bullies small businesses, that's the simplest way to describe our experience. Just hope the staff there can sleep well at night by almost sending our small businesses under, with debts accruing that we didn't understand why they continued to accrue. Email questions were not answered, but simply replied to with threats of credit default listings, by hiding behind special clauses that they will not explain. My best advice is to proceed with equipment financing with this company with extreme caution.

Michael and his team are always easy to deal with . They are always very approachable and call or respond straight away as this is not the case with a lot of other business I conduct Show details · 1
We needed help with a slightly unusual finance request: the need to fix a short term cashflow requirement, with a loan secured against older equipment (but in good condition) that we already owned. Michael organised everything including the valuations. The process took a little longer than expected, but no information requests were unreasonable.… Read more
We got there in the end and the pricing was fair. If you're fair dinkum with Finlease, Finlease will be fair dinkum with you.
