Deb steered us all the way through our finance review and tendered out our finance to prospective banks. She was always 100% professional in her approach, listened to and acted on our requests and achieved a result that exceeded our expectations. We could not have achieved such a positive result without her, we did not change banks, but still made significant savings refinancing with our existing bank. We would absolutely recommend Deb and we continue to engage her for our ongoing financial decisions.

"My husband and I run a mixed farming enterprise in South Western NSW. We recently decided to explore the possibility of changing banks as we felt that they were becoming less supportive of our business and onerous compliance stipulations had made life very stressful. This turned out to be a complicated matter and could have been a much more stressful time, had we not engaged Ian Robinson to assist us with this massive undertaking. Once he was on board, he took over all dealings with the banks and his calm approach, expertise and experience of the banking world – guided us to a successful conclusion. Our new bankers actually commented that Ian’s presentation of our business was the best they had even seen. Only time will tell if we have made the right decision in changing banks, but we definitely made the right choice in engaging Ian Robinson.”

Robinson Sewell Partners have been great to deal with on every level. From the initial meeting about re-financing with another institution, to the transition at settlement, Robinson Sewell have been there every step of the way.. We would not have been able to undertake this massive change on our own. Ian and Alex have worked tirelessly to ensure we have been kept up to date at every point, from their negotiations for lower rates and more flexible conditions to the reading of the fine print to confirm our terms were the same as originally stated. Changing banks and re-financing is always perceived to be a long and arduous journey, however because we employed the services of Robinson Sewell, our experience was completely hassle free. We were always aware of each stage in the process and Robinson Sewell were even present to introduce us to the new lenders in person. We can not thank Ian and Alex enough for all of their hard work, due diligence and attention to detail. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to re-finance their commercial loans in this ultra competitive market.

We have an unusual horticultural business with no industry comparisons available. When our bank got nervous, Robinson Sewell Partners prepared a submission to a panel of banks and guided the process through to a successful conclusion. We not only obtained a refinance package on good terms but a flexible arrangement with a significantly higher loan. RSP kept us informed regularly through the process. The fees were very reasonable and the service professional.

Intimately knowing the track record of Robinson Sewell Partners via our accountants in performing these functions, we formally engaged them to conduct a full review of our business from a debt funding perspective to ensure we had the best platform the banking fraternity could provide us. They set a clearly defined agenda and strategy which covered off on all our aspects of good corporate governance. They analysed our business from a banking perspective, and with their detailed report invited an intimate panel of banks to bid for our business. Success was going to be measured on pricing, structure, flexibility, service quality and resource capability. What was evident from the process was that there existed a clear appetite and strong engagement from the banks. Our existing bank, whom we had a great relationship with, restructured their offering to win on all fronts and retained the business. From an economic perspective alone it saved us circa $24,000 per annum which now makes this part of the business performing to its peak.

Recently, we as partners of BA and RM Smith engaged the services of Robinson Sewell Partners. Our business needed the services of the right people to make this ‘price, product and service’ comparison. This is because the whole financial services industry and the scale of the products involved is enormous, necessitating assistance from people who have the understanding, expertise and experience to analyse and compare what is available, to suit the particular needs of our business. In our case Robinson Sewell Partners performed an outstanding task, simplifying and helping us through every step of the process, while ensuring we had a complete understanding of where our business was financially, what had been our pre-existing goals and where we should ultimately set these goals for the future growth of our business. Once a decision had been made as to which financial institution provided the best ‘price, product and service’ for our business, Ian helped speed-up the final ‘pieces’ of the process to ensure a smooth transition. The follow-up communication by Ian since the transition to a new financial institution has also been excellent. For most businesses all aspects of financing are amongst the biggest decisions that a business or individual will make. Robinson Sewell Partners are the people to help guide your business through these financial decisions. Yours Sincerely,

Bruce Smith – BA and RM Smith

I highly recommend Robinson Sewell Partners on many levels. Their constant communication ensured we were kept up to speed with every step of the process, and they handled everything from inception to completion. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them and with their post settlement service offering I now believe we actually enjoy the banking side of our business.

Ian from Robinson Sewell Partners has helped us transform our business into a more valuable enterprise. His approach to handling our business dealings was professional and considerate. The savings that we are gaining from our restructure has significantly boosted our profitability. We were elated with the end result of our business reform, and we would willingly recommend Robinson Sewell Partners.

Robinson Sewell Partner’s level of intellectual expertise in all matters of banking, and professional presentation to the banking community could not be faulted. Their communication to all parties was most desirable and they took ownership of all challenges and alterations along the way. My business this year has had a record year on all fronts and I cannot be more grateful for the service and the outcome that was delivered. I have recommended Robinson Sewell Partners to colleagues and will continue to do so.

Isaac Hill, GJ Hulm & Co

Robinson Sewell Partners certainly proved to be very efficient, professional and knowledgeable in all areas of banking. Their engagement with our business made the journey of switching banks a pleasant experience, and we are now confident that we can continue with our growth plan to support our sons in the broader family group. We will certainly be seeking Robinson Sewell Partners to assist us with all of these funding requirements in the future and I highly recommend their services.

Peter and Michelle Morton

I have introduced Robinson Sewell Partners to several of my keystone commercial clients to conduct a full review on their financial borrowings. The process Robinson Sewell Partners engaged was efficient, professional and constructively interactive. This process ensured optimal communication was maintained with the client whilst Robinson Sewell Partners managed the financial restructuring from the initial engagement all the way through to settlement. The results derived from applying their financial intellect and business acumen to the client’s funding requirements created clear financial benefits to the clients on every occasion. It also created the foundation for establishing long term proactive relationships between the client, the strategically chosen bank managers and their related financial institutions. I will continue to direct my clients to Robinson Sewell Partners to ensure they have the optimal financial platform for conducting their business and to execute their wealth creation strategies.

“We are third generation farmers and have just begun the journey of building our business up to a level that is considerate of achieving a succession plan. As our parents achieved for us, we seek to provide a legacy for our growing children to continue the business into the next generation.” “Our existing financier though did not entirely share our ambitions and restricted the capital we needed to initially continue our reinvestment back into the business to make it more efficient and profitable.” “Knowing that this was going to be a material roadblock for bigger decisions in the medium term, we found it prudent to align ourselves with a financier that would provide us with the financial runway that we needed. It is evident by default of our experience that agribusiness banking is an area that sits well outside of our expertise and hence we formally engaged Robinson Sewell Partners to perform this function for us.”
