The STAC difference.
We work as an advisor, not an order taker. That means sitting alongside your accountant and your lawyer, looking at the business and the home together rather than in isolation, and introducing you to the specialists and opportunities in our network.
More than a transaction.

Self-employed finance is not impossible. It is just read differently.
Every lender interprets a self-employed business its own way, and policy shifts more often than most owners realise. What one lender declines on paper, another will approve on the same numbers.
If you have never had your position reviewed by a specialist, you probably do not know what is actually available to you.
Buying your own premises is one of the better decisions a business owner makes. Getting a bank comfortable with it is a different exercise.
Confidence comes from the unglamorous things: bookkeeping that is current, tax returns that are lodged, and financials that tell a consistent story. Get those three right and the conversation moves quickly.
Great to bring together Inertia Engineering, Judo Bank and McNab for a conversation on the current economic outlook and what it means for SEQ’s property and construction market.
Thanks to Warren Hogan, Scott Clements and Michael McNab for sharing their insights.

When your usual lender says "yes, but it'll cost more."
Every lender has a limit on exposure, by region, by builder, by sector. When you hit that limit, the answer isn't no, it's a higher price.
That's a loan book balancing itself, not a deal pricing your risk.
Funding should match your priorities: speed, flexibility, cost, and risk.
Good structure protects upside while managing downside.
Labor’s housing plan is built to fail, and New Zealand already ran the experiment.
Remove negative gearing, tighten capital gains tax, and you don’t help first home buyers. You spook investors out of the market, the people who fund the rental supply and the new construction products that first home buyers usually have to buy into.
NZ tried almost exactly this in 2021, stripping interest deductibility from residential investors. Rents climbed, not the token few dollars a week the modelling promised. It worked so badly the incoming government reversed it, with full deductibility restored by April 2025.
There’s a deeper problem too. If building costs keep rising on the back of higher labour costs, but the policy goal is for house prices to fall, the numbers stop adding up. No developer funds construction at a loss, and no lender funds the developer. Supply dries up at the exact moment we need more of it.
You can’t tax your way to affordability. You build your way there.
