"To whom it may concern "

We have been dealing with Michael Pratt of Pratt & Co Financial Services for a number of years, over this time they have established and settled lines of credit for our business, plant & equipment, motor vehicles as well as a number of mortgages that were required.

The service and attention to detail levels have been excellent; recently I inquired about a sale and hire back agreement on plant and equipment for our Group, we had instructed Michael to source the funding facility in a particular manner. Our current banking relationship were unable to assist to compete with structure that was sought.

Michael had the transaction approved and settled in a timely manner without further security.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Pratt & Co and will continue our business relationship in the future.

I would like to thank you for the assistance you and your organization have provided to our valued clients over the several years we have been conducting business together.

You have always recognized the privacy of our valued clientele when dealing with the sometimes sensitive issue of financing a major purchase such as the high end motor yachts we sell.

To have a professional financial organization such as yours that we can confidentially recommend to our buyers is of great assistance to us when marketing expensive new Benetti, Hatteras and Hargrave motor yachts as well as quality brokerage vessels.

I trust our relationship will continue well into the foreseeable future and look forward to concluding many more transactions together.

Shiners Car Wash

Richard Davison
Managing Director
Shiners Car Wash Systems Pty Ltd
Web: www.shiners.com.au


I have been doing business with Michael Pratt and his company for over 25 years.

During that time Michael has financed everything from investment properties, business equipment, motor vehicles (both business and pleasure) and houses.

As of the current date I currently have financed through Pratt & Co, equipment from a number of car wash locations (value of in excess of $500,000), seven motor vehicles, business premises and the houses and a boat of my two sons.

As we all know, banks are fair weather sailors and Michael's greatest attribute is his ability to get deals set during difficult times when the banks are reluctant to even talk to you.

In business, speed is of the essence and is often the difference between doing a deal and losing it. Michael has always had an uncanny ability of cutting through the red tape and getting things done in a timely manner and with a minimum of fuss.

I have had many dealings with Michael Pratt, after his services were recommended by a close business associate, these dealings had been funding requirements both on the Gold Coast and my Resort at Port Hinchinbrook in North Queensland.

The finance that Michael organized were mainly marine mortgages to assist with the Resort with commercial as well as passenger craft.

When I contacted Michael originally, he made an appointment with me to fly to the Gold Coast in order discuss the finance that we required.

In accordance with my instructions all finance transactions have been settled with Michael and I have no hesitation to introduce and recommend Michael to my many business associates

I am writing to Thankyou for your support and fantastic service over the past ten years.The benefit in using your company services to organise our plant and equipment finance has made a huge difference to our success.

In particular we wish to acknowledge the service and support of Ken Mclean. Ken's role as our finance broker has greatly facilitated our company's ability to take on growth and diversify our finance packages accordingly. Ken's earthmoving background and finance experience was great to lean on when discussing chooses of equipment and the type of appropriate finance. Ken was also consistent in not just answering the phone but was able to foster strong relationships with the finance companies and ourselves. As you are aware we have sold the business and are no longer in equipment related industry (bought a pub). On behalf of my family and employees we sincerely Thankyou for the impact you have had on our lives.

Please feel free to pass on my contact details to anyone wishing to get a referral.
