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.

Stan was efficient, kind and patient. We were looking at a smsf residential loan and worked through any issues that came up, with clear communication throughout. He gave me the best product at the best rate that suited my refinancing and investment needs, and his persistence on our smsf residential loan got the application through swiftly.

Being a home buyer and not having much knowledge about how the finance process works, I couldn't be happier with the information and assistance I received from Stan. Not only to find the most competitive options, but the service provided was above and beyond. He was there to answer all my queries and more than happy to explain anvthina I didn't understand

Your SMSF Lending Specialist

Meet Stan Batsanis

I've spent over 20 years running my own businesses and working 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 complex SMSF loan applications keep getting knocked back by brokers who don't have the right pathways. At Funds Assist, I take on every client personally. No hand-offs.

When a complication comes up mid-application, it's me who knows your file and handles it. If you've been told your deal is too complex, call me before you give up.

20+ Years' Lending Expertise: Spanning SMSF, commercial, Low-Doc, equipment finance, and private funding across the full market. The scenarios that stop most brokers are the ones I specialise in.

$200m+ in Lending Facilitated: Across 1,000+ clients and 250+ SMSF loans structured, including complex income, non-standard assets, and deals declined elsewhere.

Australian Credit Licensee 543877: Operating under my own licence, accountable directly to you for every recommendation made.

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.
