Mission

TAFS exists to bridge the gap between capable operators and rigid lending policies. We support owner-operators, transport businesses, trades, construction companies and SMEs across Australia with structured funding that reflects commercial reality, not just a checklist. Every application is reviewed, positioned and aligned with the right lender before it ever reaches a credit desk.

Values

Structure. Clarity. Preparation. Consistency. We back good businesses with finance that fits how they actually run, supported by an internal credit team with over 20 years experience and access to 80+ lenders nationwide. We set realistic expectations, communicate plainly, and build long-term relationships over one-off transactions.

I spent years inside the banking system watching capable business owners get overlooked because their story didn't fit a template. TAFS was built to bridge that gap, to structure finance properly, to show up consistently, and back the operators who are doing the real work.

Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t just send applications out. We structure them properly from the start.

  • Who is The Asset Finance Shop?

    The Asset Finance Shop (TAFS) is an Australian-owned commercial asset finance brokerage based in Sydney. We help business owners across the country finance vehicles, equipment, and machinery through a panel of 80+ lenders, settling around 100 deals every month with a 93% approval rate. Our team is fully office-based and we work exclusively in commercial finance, which means our entire focus is on getting business deals done properly.

  • What types of finance does TAFS offer?

    TAFS offers commercial asset finance only. We arrange finance for vehicles, trucks, trailers, construction equipment, hospitality fit-outs, agricultural machinery, and other business-use assets. We don't offer consumer loans, home loans, or personal finance, which keeps our entire team specialised in the products that matter to business owners.

  • Where is TAFS based and do they operate nationally?

    TAFS is headquartered in Sydney, and we operate across all states and territories of Australia. While our team works from one office to keep collaboration tight and turnaround times fast, we settle deals for business owners in every part of the country, from metro hubs to remote regional locations.

  • How does TAFS get such a high approval rate?

    Our 93% approval rate comes from how we structure every deal before it goes anywhere near a lender. Our internal credit team pre-vets each scenario, draws on years of relationships with our 80+ lenders, and matches the deal to the lender most likely to approve it. We never submit shotgun applications across multiple lenders at once, which protects your credit file and dramatically improves your odds of a first-time yes.

  • What industries does TAFS specialise in?

    TAFS has deep specialisation in transport, construction, and hospitality, with the majority of our book coming from owner-operators and fleet businesses in road transport. We also regularly finance agricultural equipment, manufacturing machinery, professional services vehicles, and trade tools. Our brokers know the assets, the residuals, and the lender appetite for each industry, which means faster decisions and better-structured deals.
