Our Investment Loan Assessment

We don’t do hurdles at ASAP Finance. Once you submit your application, we review it quickly using our financial expertise, weighing up the merits of the investment and considering your individual needs.

What we review:

  • Details of the security
  • Valuations (not always necessary)
  • Your current loan balances
  • Sale and purchase agreements
  • Leases and rental agreements
  • Your financial position
  • Exit strategy

Our credit policy can be adjusted when we deem it necessary. See our lending criteria for more terms and conditions.

ASAP Funding Process

  1. Submit a funding application. We work quickly, assessing your project and providing indicative terms in as little as 24 hours.
  2. Issuing of formal letter of offer. Following your acceptance of the indicative terms, we issue a letter of offer detailing:
    • Our fees (including a legal quote for your solicitor)
    • Your interest rates
    • Loan terms
    • Any terms and conditions (we try to keep these as minimal as possible) Unlike other lenders, our letters of offer are fully credit approved; we stand by our commitment to fund your project.
  3. Creation of loan documents. Once you have accepted the offer and paid the loan deposit, we work with your mortgage broker to arrange complete loan documents.

If you are working with a mortgage broker, we will pay brokerage direct, typically equivalent to 1% of the loan amount on drawdown. Our establishment fee and legal costs are payable by you. These are stipulated upfront.

I have had the pleasure of working with Ben Friedlander to assist with obtaining finance for a client of mine.  I was blown away with the experience.  Ben (along with ASAP) showed a lot of passion to find a solution that would fit for our client and enable them to complete their project. The ease of the process through to settlement was also vastly better than anything I have experienced previously.
I have worked with a few companies for similar projects over the years and this was the first time I have used Ben and ASAP, I would not hesitate to use them again, in fact they will be the first call I make and will be presented to all of my clients as a viable option going forward.  5 Stars from me!
