We compare lenders across the market to find the fastest approval and the most competitive rate for your situation.
Equipment Finance Melbourne
Melbourne businesses in construction, hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, and transport rely on equipment finance to fund the assets they need without tying up capital.

Working Capital Finance Melbourne
Melbourne’s seasonal business cycles — from summer tourism to winter hospitality — create cashflow peaks and troughs that working capital finance is designed to bridge. Invoice finance, business overdrafts, and revolving credit facilities give Melbourne businesses the flexibility to manage cashflow without disrupting operations.
Commercial Property Finance Melbourne
Melbourne commercial property — from inner-city offices and South East industrial parks to suburban retail strips — continues to offer strong long-term value for business owners. Co-Pilot Finance arranges commercial mortgages, SMSF property loans, and development finance for Melbourne property investors and owner-occupiers.

Melbourne is home to Australia’s largest port and a thriving import/export economy. Trade finance — including import finance, letters of credit, and supply chain finance — helps Melbourne businesses fund international trade without straining cashflow. Co-Pilot Finance works with specialist trade finance lenders to support Melbourne importers and exporters of all sizes.
