About Us
About SJ Financial Services
We deal with a number of lenders and can arrange the best loan to suit your needs.
At SJ Financial Services we promote responsible borrowing and will arrange terms to suit your finances and personal situation. We can get you pre-approved for a loan and you will know how much you can afford to borrow and what your repayments will be.
You can be confident that you are dealing with a reputable company, with a long history in the financial services industry.
These days it is quite easy to find yourself with a less than favourable credit report, and in most cases we find a solution!
