PEF Commercial Finance Brokers have been providing business finance brokering services and consulting to the trenchless industry for over 40 years.

stablished in 1993 by James (Jamie) Hannah, PEF Commercial Finance delivers professional business finance brokering services to small, medium, and large businesses all over Australia. Principal Jamie Hannah returned from America in 1993 following a stint working for Caterpillar Finance, part of the Cat® company group. It was here Jamie discovered a gap in the market and formed PEF Commercial Finance (previously known as Plant and Equipment Finance) and began brokering finance for all types of earth moving equipment. “Our experience in serving such a wide and diverse range of businesses means that we have the ability to arrange and deliver the best business loan deals to our clients, new and returning,” he says.
“We deal with the largest and most reliable financiers, lenders, banks, and credit providers. We understand and implement the process on a daily basis through which we have regular dealings with decision makers.” Jamie says PEF’s main focus is to provide hassle free business finance solutions to clients and secure approvals quickly and conveniently. Appreciating the importance of getting the deal secure for the client in a timely fashion, the first step the company takes is understanding and identifying the client’s needs. By getting to know its clients’ business financial circumstances, PEF is able to secure the best finance deal that matches the client’s needs. “We work with you, the client, to identify the best business finance solutions suited for your requirements and business circumstances. We then do the work to find and secure business
loans and finance approvals as quickly as possible,” Jamie says. “We coordinate and organise the compiling and delivery of documents and other required materials and arrange the final sign-up immediately so that our clients can enjoy use of the business equipment or vehicle as soon as possible.” Over the past two years the world has faced unprecedented times due to the impacts of COVID-19. As a result, Jamie says, a challenge the trenchless industry has faced is the direct impact of this on its supply chain. “There are some major problems in the industry with the supply of machines and equipment,” he says. “As a result, everyone is hanging onto their ageing equipment, which in some cases, the equipment that was five years old is now seven and the cost of maintaining it
