About Us

Your solution to maximising business growth.

Whether you’re buying a business or need funding to expand, we analyse your unique circumstances and advise you on the best interest and capital structure to achieve your business goals. 

We’ve helped hundreds of New Zealanders buy businesses since 2020. Finance Link is proud to be the preferred business funding specialist among Kiwis. Companies large and small, from Cape Reinga to Bluff — trust Finance Link to take their businesses to the next level.

Our Company Values

We work for you. We revolve our business lending advice on getting to know you, understanding your private circumstances, and knowing your business aspirations. With over 30 lenders on our side — from big banks to personal lenders — we’re committed to upholding our core values through the entire process, step by step.

We Know Business

We’re business owners, too, and we understand how challenging it is to launch a start-up or buy an existing business. We’ve walked this path ourselves and succeeded, which means we have the ideal experience, expertise, and perspective to help you overcome barriers to business ownership.

We’re In Your Corner

We work for you. This means we represent your interests and goals and get you the best outcome in your business-buying venture. Buyers often feel outmatched by banks representing corporate interests and agents representing the seller, so having Finance Link in your corner gives you confidence. Our experience and negotiating power in representing your interest in the transaction will get you the best result for your unique financial circumstances.

We’re Customer-Obsessed

We’re obsessed with finding the best solution to get your business loan so your business can thrive long-term. That’s why you’ve got our continued support long after you’ve secured your business funding.

We Celebrate Diversity

Behind every business we support is a person with diverse circumstances — we love that! We celebrate diversity in all forms because we love finding the right solution to unique challenges. The result? Everyone feels that business ownership is within reach.

Finding the right interest and capital structure for your business by yourself isn’t easy. That’s why the experts at Finance Link are here to work with you. Here’s what to expect when we work for you:

  • Tell us about your business’s goals and financial circumstances
