Securing finance since 2005

With over a decade in the asset finance industry under our belt, our network connections and tailored finance solutions are second to none. Throw in an in-house car buying service and consultants who are with you every step of the way and you’ve got finance designed to fit your life.
Car & equipment specialists
At Platform Direct, all we do is car and equipment finance. All our brokers are formally trained, they are continually developing their skills and they have their finger on the pulse when it comes to new finance products in the market. So, you can rest-easy knowing that you are getting professional, honest advice from our team when you are buying your next car or piece of equipment.
Pre-approval before buying
Walk into a car dealership knowing what you can afford and what your repayments will be. Don’t be taken for a ride by a smooth car or finance salesman. Know your budget upfront and have more confidence and negotiation power when buying your car when you know that finance has already been pre-approved.
