Financial services guide.

AFSL 247858. Transparency on how we operate and who we are.

Overview
This Financial Services Guide (FSG) is issued by Bardin Capital Pty Ltd (ABN 40 074 938 364), holder of Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) 247858. The FSG explains who we are, the services we provide, how we manage conflicts of interest, and how complaints are handled. It is designed to help you make informed decisions about our financial services and products.
  1. Siare is a Melbourne-based property finance and development specialist. We arrange and structure finance for developers, investors and business borrowers — and home loans for individuals — and we help developers assess, plan and deliver their projects, from site assessment and feasibility through planning approvals and project management.
  2. Siare Private Investments Pty Ltd acts as Corporate Authorised Representative (001 317 963) of Bardin Capital Pty Ltd, which holds AFSL 247858 and is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). Financial services are provided in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and associated regulations. We maintain professional indemnity insurance and comply with all applicable financial services laws.
  3. Our team includes experienced operators in property finance, development and capital markets. We disclose all material conflicts of interest in writing before providing services, so you know where we stand before you engage us.
  4. We are usually paid by commission from lenders on the finance we arrange. Any fee payable by you is agreed with you in writing before we act — see How we are paid below for full details.

Services and products

Business and development finance

We arrange and structure finance for developers, investors and business borrowers, placing it with lenders on our panel whose policy fits the deal — development and construction finance, bridging finance, second mortgages and mezzanine, residual stock finance, and commercial and corporate debt. This is business- and investment-purpose credit, and approval is always the lender's decision.

Home loans

Siare's consumer credit services are provided by Site Solutions (VIC) Pty Ltd (ABN 89 640 891 238), Australian Credit Representative Number 526276, authorised by Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd (ABN 51 143 651 496), Australian Credit Licence 389328. You will receive our Credit Guide before we provide credit assistance, and any fee payable by you is disclosed in writing before you proceed.

Development services

We help developers assess, plan and deliver their projects, from site assessment and feasibility through planning approvals and project management. Development services are not financial services and are not provided under our AFSL or credit licence.

Conflicts of interest

We manage conflicts of interest by disclosing all material conflicts in writing before providing services, and by keeping clear separation between the people who arrange finance for you and any other work we do. Our Conflicts of Interest Policy is available on request.

How we are paid

We are usually paid by commission from lenders on the loans we arrange. For home loans, this commission is paid to us via our licensee, Connective. Any fee payable by you is disclosed and agreed with you in writing before we act. We may also pay referral fees to people who introduce you to us, and we will tell you if that applies to your matter.

Complaint handling

We take complaints seriously and have established procedures to resolve them quickly and fairly. Complaints should be made in writing to our Complaints Officer. We will acknowledge receipt within one business day and provide a response within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may refer the matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA).
