“I have worked with Paul and his team since 2016. During that time I have acquired 3 Quest Apartment Hotel franchises in Portland, Victoria and Albury, NSW. When I brought in a business partner for the Albury transaction Paul and Josh provided exceptional support and process insights. They also work closely with my accounting and legal advisors which saves me a lot of time and stress.”

“These guys understand the Quest business format franchise model, are proactively service driven and are a real value add, no nonsense team. Highly recommended.”

Our Service

Our process is highly personalised. If you are new to the industry we will take the time to assess your requirements, explain the purchase and finance process and provide a summary of your likely purchasing range. Introductions to industry professionals will be undertaken and constant support throughout the purchase process is provided.

We understand that the purchase process can be complicated. Our service ensures that each step is closely monitored and any possible problems quickly identified and rectified.

Post settlement we remain in touch to ensure your banking relationship evolves smoothly. It’s very reassuring to know that even if your bank manager moves on you will continue to have a trusted advisor providing advocacy on your behalf.

We started working with Paul and Josh pre covid with analysis of an opportunity to acquire the Quest Apartment Hotel franchise at Breakfast Creek in Brisbane. Their advice and industry knowledge were very valuable in getting our timing right for that transaction. In 2022 we decided to purchase the greenfield Quest Apartment Hotel franchise in Collingwood, Melbourne. Paul and his team helped us access equity in Breakfast Creek to assist in the acquisition at Collingwood. Being a partnership deal there were a lot of moving parts and Paul and Josh managed to guide the finance process seamlessly.

With clear expertise, a real service ethic and a can-do approach Paul and Josh manage to get the job done with a minimum of fuss and be likeable and professional in the process.
