About Balmain
Balmain was originally established to provide its clients with an alternative to bank finance for commercial lending. As the business grew Balmain became the largest Originator to non-bank lenders and Balmain remains the primary source of loans for a number of mortgage funds and charitable institutions in Australia. Participating institutions include many of Australia's largest and most forward thinking financial groups.
More recently the banks have begun to play more of a role with Balmain. Balmain now originates loans to all of the major trading banks. Having said this Balmain still strongly favours originating loans to non-banks as generally they will let us:
- brand the loan documentation;
- service the loans after settlement; and
- maintain the client relationship.
Today Balmain offers the widest range of commercial loan products available in the market place. Lending ranges from commercial investment loans through to construction finance facilities for some of the largest developments being undertaken in Australia today.
Balmain also provides mezzanine finance, equity, site acquisition loans, residual stock loans, working capital facilities, home loans and structured finance loans.
The bigger picture
To further enhance our competitiveness in the commercial debt market Balmain has also now commenced lending in its own right both as a proprietary lender (AllFinance) and as a mortgage manager (Mirvac Aqua). This transition also encompasses different asset classes including debtor finance (Balmain Guarantee and Scottish Pacific Benchmark Group).
The Balmain Group is now established as a major force in debt origination in Australia.
"Balmain has given me the opportunity to work with the best this industry has to offer. "
