- How it works
Gear that earns in North Queensland.
New, used, dealer, auction or private sale — if it earns income in North Queensland, there's a good chance we can finance it.
We read the file before we pick the lender.
Contract-backed serviceability
A signed civil or mining-services contract changes how a lender reads your capacity. If the machine is being bought for awarded work, that paperwork belongs in the file from day one.
The wet-season clock
Gear bought in the dry needs to settle in the dry. Auction and private-sale purchases with 48–72 hour settlement windows are normal here — pre-approval before you commit keeps the deadline comfortable.
Hours are a category, not a verdict
High-hour plant that still earns is financeable — it's a lender-selection question. The machines that get declined are usually just sitting with the wrong lender.
You don't need a broker in your street. You need one on your file.
Forefront works Townsville files remotely from Queensland — the same person from first call to settlement, with everything arranged where the gear sits.
A dedicated case manager
You talk to the person who runs your file — first call to settlement. No handoffs, no queue.
The file is shaped where you are
Docs move by phone and email. Inspections and valuations are arranged wherever the gear sits.
Lender matched to the asset and the work
30+ lenders read regional files differently. Picking the one that reads yours well is most of the job.
Settlement without the road trip
Payouts, PPSR and paperwork run remotely. You keep working while it settles.
