Qualitas-backed non-bank lender targeting complex lending scenarios
Mortgage aggregator LMG has expanded its commercial lending capabilities with the addition of Arch Finance to its lender panel.
Arch Finance, a non-bank commercial real estate lender wholly owned by ASX-listed Qualitas, is positioning itself as a specialist in complex lending scenarios that often fall outside the scope of major banks.
It offers up to 80% LVR for residential property transactions and up to 70% LVR for commercial property deals. Financing is available up to $7.5 million for single security and up to $25 million for co-lending with multiple securities.
“We take a bespoke approach to each transaction,” said James Kanterakis (pictured, right), head of origination at Arch Finance. “We have a client-centric approach and can assist brokers in structuring deals that can be too difficult for the major banks or not meet their typically more rigid lending requirements.”

“Arch Finance is pleased to be entering into this relationship,” said Meehan. “LMG is well known in the commercial broker space as a leading commercial finance aggregator – attracting some of the industry's best commercial brokers.”
Sam Allam (pictured, centre), partnership and product manager – commercial at LMG, highlighted the value Arch Finance brings.
“Arch Finance’s specialist expertise, flexible serviceability approach and competitive lending parameters make them a valuable addition to our commercial panel,” Allam said. “This partnership strengthens our ability to support brokers in delivering creative funding solutions for their clients, particularly in scenarios where traditional lenders may not be able to assist.”
