    Keylend Update: RBA Interest Rate Decision The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has held its cash rate at 4.35% as of Tuesday. This decision is driven by the current inflation rate of 3.8%, which remains above the RBA’s target range of 2-3%. The RBA expects inflation to return to the target range late next year, reaching the 2.5% sweet spot by mid-2026. The Bank emphasized that returning inflation to target within a reasonable timeframe remains its highest priority. At Keylend, we are committed to keeping our clients informed about important economic updates. The RBA Board will continue to rely on data and evolving risk assessments to guide its decisions, closely monitoring global economic developments, domestic demand trends, and the outlook for inflation and the labor market. Stay tuned with Keylend for the latest financial news and insights. #Keylend #RBA #InterestRates #EconomicUpdate #Inflation #FinancialNews

    Money Quest Group Acquires Keylend. National mortgage broking organisation, Money Quest Group (MQG), has purchased mortgage broking business, Keylend, to further strengthen the group’s position in the broking sector and assist Keylend brokers with building even stronger businesses. The transaction was finalised on Thursday July 18, 2024, marking MQG’s sixth acquisition to date. Established in November 1998, Keylend is currently home to more than 100 finance brokers, making it the largest mortgage broking group based in South Australia. MQG’s Managing Director, Michael Russell, shared his excitement regarding the acquisition. “We are delighted to be welcoming a new cohort of high-calibre brokers to MQG and can’t wait to add another layer of value to their businesses,” Mr. Russell said. “I have no doubt that they will thrive within our environment and find tremendous value in our professional development programs and industry-leading events,” he said. Mr. Russell explained that the acquisition was a logical one to make because of the strong cultural alignment between the two businesses. “Having known Chris Burns for 20 years I hold him in extremely high regard and am thrilled that he will be continuing as Keylend’s CEO. Chris has always treated his brokers like extended family, and we take a very similar approach at MQG,” Mr. Russell said. “Given we also use the same MyCRM technology, the acquisition will be seamless and will not disrupt the operational rhythm for Keylend brokers.” Mr. Russell also reinforced Money Quest Group’s appetite for further acquisitions. “We continue to have an appetite to grow organically and acquisitively. The addition of Keylend will take us to over 600 brokers nationally and see us continuing to search for quality brokers to recruit, as well as strong state-based and national broker groups to acquire. “With growth comes scale and with scale comes improved operational efficiencies and resource allocation, which will further fuel the support we offer to our brokers,” Mr. Russell said. Keylend Founder and CEO, Chris Burns, is looking forward to joining forces with the Money Quest Group. “I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Michael Russell for nearly 20 years and am confident that our brokers and their clients will be well served under his leadership,” Mr. Burns said. “MQG’s broker support services are exceptional and the executive team’s industry experience and passion is second to none. This is a wonderful opportunity for our brokers to leverage new resources, training programs and technology, to better their businesses,” he said.

    SA’s Real Estate Outlook: Key Updates from Keylend The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has kept the cash rate steady at 4.35% this month, hinting at a possible rate cut by year-end due to slowing economic growth. In South Australia, the state government is making big moves! Starting June 6, 2024, first-time homebuyers or those building new homes will enjoy zero stamp duty and a AUD 15,000 subsidy—regardless of house price. We’re also seeing a significant decrease in interstate population outflow, increasing demand for housing. South Australia’s population now represents nearly 7% of Australia’s total as of December 2023. Despite only 5.5% of new investment loans going to SA, aligning this with our population suggests a growth potential of 27%! Despite some market pressures, South Australia’s real estate market has substantial growth potential. For more detailed insights and data, DM us for the full report!

    Treasurer Jim Chalmers unveiled the latest Federal Budget, outlining key measures for the business sector, among other areas. What does it mean for business owners? The Australian government has implemented several measures to support small businesses in the 2024-2025 budget. One significant initiative is the extension of the instant asset write-off threshold to $20,000 for eligible businesses with a turnover of less than $10 million. This allows immediate deductions for assets costing less than $20,000 purchased between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2025, aiming to enhance cash flow and reduce compliance burdens. Additionally, investments of $466.4 million in digital skills and AI courses, as well as fee-free TAFE courses relevant to the construction industry, are aimed to equip the workforce with essential skills and address labour shortages in key sectors. Further, small businesses can expect energy bill relief with rebates totaling $325 applied quarterly from July 1, 2024, along with incentives for energy-efficient upgrades, encouraging reduced energy consumption and costs. Indirect benefits include $2.9 billion infrastructure investments, compliance support for workplace relations changes as up to $20.5 million, and funding for mental and financial wellbeing services of up to $10.8million, collectively fostering a supportive environment for small business growth and sustainability. In this new setting of government support for small businesses, Keylend plays a crucial role in assisting entrepreneurs to leverage these initiatives effectively. With our expertise in financial solutions and understanding of the evolving business landscape, we stand ready to support small businesses in accessing funding, managing cash flow, and optimising investments. Keylend is committed to being a trusted partner for small businesses, empowering you to thrive in an ever-changing economic environment, navigating these opportunities and maximising benefits. #FederalBudget #Budget2024 #EconomicPolicy #GovernmentSpending
