Australia's SMSF Lending Specialist. Get Your Deal Done Right.
The banks have pulled back. Compliance rules are strict. One wrong move in your Trust Deed structure and the deal collapses. Or worse, the ATO takes notice. Stop navigating it alone. With 20+ years of lending expertise and access to every lender still writing SMSF loans, Stan Batsanis gets your structure right and your deal settled, before a single application goes in.
15% Tax Rate, Properly Structured: Your SMSF qualifies for just 15% tax on rental income, but only if the Trust Deed and loan structure are set up correctly. Stan makes sure they are, before you apply for anything.
Residential and Commercial SMSF: Whether you're buying an investment property or your own business premises, Stan's whole-of-market access finds the right lender for your specific strategy including deals most brokers can't touch.
Deal Certainty Before You Apply: Stan reviews your Trust Deed and identifies your lenders in the strategy session, so you know it's going to work before it starts.

Investors who came to us with complex situations, and left with a clear path forward.
Stan at Funds Assist was an absolute standout in getting our loan sorted. No question was ever too small, and he handled everything with patience, respect, and total professionalism. He took the stress out of the entire process and made it feel straightforward from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for better service.

Stan helped me secure a refinance with cash out at a competitive rate very quickly and seamlessly. The whole experience was incredibly easy on my end and Stan and Faith were really happy to explain anything I didn't understand with prompt responses to my emails. If you're looking to refinance, I'd highly recommend Stan!

Couldn't recommend Stan and his team more. Super professional in their approach, extremely friendly and most of all very knowledgeable - able to answer all of my questions. Simplified the entire process and went above and beyond to ensure my experience with them was smooth with no hidden costs or clauses. Honest and reliable.

We recently re mortgaged with Loans Australia. We were provided multiple options within 2 business days, and once we agreed on our new provider our application was submitted within a couple of days. The provider we chose took a little longer than expected to settle due to a high volume of applications, which was communicated by the Loans Australia team, and they provided regular updates. They make the process relatively easy and we would recommend them to others.

I had Anthony Ryan as my broker to finance my investment property purchase and to refinance my existing property. Anthony and his team were excellent and were very experienced. They gave me detailed information on various financing options, helped me to structure my loans, and handled the transactions extremely smoothly from start to finish. They also keep me updated whenever a milestone is reached to make sure that I stay informed. I highly recommend Anthony to anyone who want to get a mortgage for his/her property, and will definitely use him again.

Your SMSF Lending Specialist
Meet Stan Batsanis
I've spent over 20 years running my own businesses and working directly inside financial institutions, which means I've sat at both ends of the lending table. I know what lenders are actually looking for, where structures fall over, and why generalist brokers keep getting SMSF deals knocked back.
At Funds Assist, I work with property investors and business owners who want their super working harder for them. Every client I take on gets whole-of-market access, a Trust Deed and compliance review before any application goes in, and a broker who stays accountable from first session through to settlement. No hand-offs, no surprises, no deals that were never going to work.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
My current bank said they don't do SMSF loans anymore. Can you still help?
Absolutely. Most "Big 4" banks have pulled back from SMSF lending, making it harder for generalist brokers to get deals across the line. We specialise in the non-bank and specialist lender space where SMSF is still a core product. Whether you're looking for Residential, Commercial, or even Low-Doc options for self-employed members, we have access to the lenders who are still active and hungry for SMSF business.
Can my SMSF buy any type of property?
Residential investment properties must be purchased from an unrelated party. You can't buy a property you or a related party already owns or lives in. Commercial properties, including your own business premises, operate under different rules and are often more flexible. Stan will walk you through exactly what your fund can and can't purchase in your strategy session.
Why can't I just go to my bank for an SMSF loan?
Most major banks have pulled back from SMSF lending entirely. The lenders still writing these deals are specialist institutions with specific criteria that change frequently — and many of their products aren't publicly listed. Knowing who's actively lending, what their current requirements are, and how to get your structure past their credit team is exactly what 20+ years of specialist experience gives you access to.
Will my Trust Deed need updating before I can borrow?
Possibly. Deeds older than five years often need updating to meet current lender and ATO requirements, and a deed that looks fine on the surface can contain clauses that trigger a decline. Stan reviews your deed as part of the strategy session. If it needs updating, you'll know before any application goes in.
Does it cost anything to speak with Stan?
The initial strategy session is completely free. Stan reviews your situation, your structure, and your options, and you leave with a clear picture of what's possible before committing to anything. There's no obligation and no cost.
