Ballast: bigger picture people, building YOUR revenue

by Reporter5 minute read
The Adviser

With over 150 business partners across Australia already part of the Ballast network, the company’s integrated business model is at the forefront of change for the financial industry

Established in 1999, Ballast Finance is the finance and aggregation arm of the independent Australian-owned financial services group, Ballast.

“Ballast’s business model is based on integration, and the fact that we are boutique and independently owned supports this,” says Ballast’s chief executive officer, Frank Paratore. “As an aggregator, we have strong lender panels and structured business support on the ground to grow your business. Ballast’s offering encompasses financial planning (operating under its own AFSL); self-managed superannuation funds; accounting; property; wills; and EPAs – over and above our aggregation services. What makes us different from the rest is we will work with you to grow your business and revenue via true financial services integration.”

Ballast do not want to be the biggest, just the best. The company was a finalist in 2011, 2012 and 2013 at the MFAA Excellence Awards and 2011 winner of Boutique Aggregator of the Year at the Australian Broking Awards.
