About Us - Red Dragon Financial

Meet Stuart Lafranchi - Senior Mortgage Broker and Founder

“Having worked in retail for last 22 years in two of the country’s largest franchise groups as a Regional/State Manager across Australia and Canada, I had the honour to be part of a lead start up group to build a company from scratch overseas. I expanded the brand producing scores of future highly successful business owners as part of this journey.  More recently as a multi-site franchisee we have been working in our local community providing unparalleled small business expertise to help others achieve their dreams.

Having identified a large gap in the market, I would like to help individuals get started on this journey as cash flow accessibility is usually the biggest obstacle to a small business. I am a strong believer in delivering on promises of tailored financial solutions for any and all clients whether they be small business owners, home owners or investors. I myself am a keen property investor who maintains his own property portfolio and enjoys the complexities of ensuring wealth creation and appropriate considered cash flow is available for everyone.

All of this is delivered by qualities I believe are important to maintain – Communication, honesty and straight forward approach to solving problems. I apply this no-nonsense approach to home lending, refinancing, franchising, and business investments. Every client is worth the time, attention and guidance when looking to obtain their ideal financial solution.

I encourage every client to contact me and am always pleased to hear from you. ”

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand all

Did you know that over 50% of all loans written in Australia are provided through finance brokers? This can be quite a surprising statistic, however once you understand the service a finance broker provides, it’s perhaps more surprising that the percentage isn’t higher! So, what exactly does a finance broker do?

Understanding your current financial situation is the most important step in the lending process. In order to do so, it’s important that the right questions are asked early on so that the application process is a smooth and timely as possible. It is also vital in ensuring you don’t overreach yourself by borrowing too much, and placing additional stress upon yourself and your finances that you just don't need.

With access to a large pool of lenders, we select from hundreds of different loan options to find you those that are ideal for your situation. Not only does this save you the time and effort of approaching the lenders yourself, but you can take comfort in the fact that we know what to look for when speaking to the lenders.

Once a loan has been selected, we begin the application process while you sit back and relax. We ensure it is as smooth as possible by undertaking the majority of paperwork ourselves. We liaise with you to compile the necessary documentation, before packaging it up and sending it through to the lender. Once approved, we will see it all the way through to settlement and beyond!

This may seem like a trick, but it’s not. Our service is completely free to the customer. In fact, it is the lenders who pay us through commission, as a finance broker saves them from having to market their loan product themselves. It’s a win-win situation. Brokers are also held to a code of conduct where we must act in the best interest of the client within the confines as well of the lender responsible lending requirements. In short, you're in good hands.

If you’d like to know more about how we can help freshen up your finances and provide you with a tailor made solution to suit your needs, please contact us today. We will explain what we can offer you and how we can help you with your loan.
