How many finance brokers do you know that rock up to the office in full leathers on a BMW R1150GS – the same motorcycle made famous by the UK TV presenter and actor Charley Boorman in his highly successful adventure travel series?
While the choice of commute is a little unorthodox for the Managing Director of one of Australia’s leading equipment finance brokers, his company’s tailored solutions to providing clients with out-of-the-box solutions and stress-free personalised service is what sets Finmax Finance apart from its competitors.
In this interview with Wheel Spin Media, the company’s Managing Director Lawrence Hohnjec reveals what it takes to stay ahead of the curve.
What were you doing before you started Finmax? I started in sales with Xerox Canada then progressed to sales trainer with finance being an additional tool. In 1988 I founded Hampton Group Leasing Inc., which I sold 10 years later and moved my family to Australia. That same year I launched Hampton Group Finance and in 2006 HGF transitioned to Finmax Finance specialising in Equipment Asset and Vehicle Finance.
How did the business come about?
I felt there was
an opening in the market for a company that could provide a much better service
and make it easy to access crucial funding allowing businesses to function at
their maximum capacity.
