Arch Finance is fully broker-focused, with funding solutions from 250,000 to $10 million, secured by residential or commercial property. The lender’s flexible policy solutions include no annual reviews, servicing on actual debt levels, and no WALE requirements.
Arch Finance caters to borrowers with complex scenarios, including those seeking tailored solutions for property acquisition, refinancing, debt consolidation, and residual stock loans.
A point of difference for the lender is its willingness to structure deals depending on unique circumstances. This provides borrowers with support that often isn’t possible with more traditional lenders.
Brent Starrenburg, Connective’s head of commercial and asset finance, said the addition of Arch Finance to its lender panel will provide its brokers and their clients with more commercial lending options.
“Arch Finance is a highly experienced, solutions-focused lender that understands the needs of commercial brokers and the businesses they serve,” he said.
“The addition of Arch enhances our panel with a lender that values transparency, backs commercial brokers with fast feedback, and delivers lending structures that suit today’s dynamic property market. It’s a strong fit with our strategy to give our brokers the tools, support and lending partnerships they need to grow.”
Truly Finance principal James Brett was the first of Connective’s brokers to use Arch Finance. He said the flexibility was a massive benefit.
“[Arch] gives us a flexible option for clients with diverse income streams or non-standard financial profiles that don’t meet the banks’ criteria, and their turnaround and communication have been excellent,” said Brett.
Phillip Meehan, Arch Finance’s director, origination – head of broker, is a former employee at Connective.
He reflected on the growth of Arch Finance and expressed his excitement about being added to the Connective lender panel.
“We’re excited to be joining Connective’s commercial panel and bringing our tailored approach to a broader network of professional brokers,” Meehan said.
“We know brokers want clear, consistent feedback and pragmatic credit support. Our team is experienced in property-backed lending and ready to move quickly when the deal is right. From lease-up risk to tax debt consolidation, we offer structured solutions where others may not.”
This latest announcement comes off the back of the addition of two other commercial private lenders to Connective’s panel earlier in the year, with Aquamore in February and GCI in March.
