Established in 2019 as commercial and residential finance specialists, Loan Path Finance was not previously affiliated with AFG before joining the Broker Investments program. This marked AFG’s first equity partnership beyond its existing broker network. As Managing Director Mina Gergis explains, the collaboration enabled the business to step up its acquisition phase.
“Since 2019, our growth has been entirely organic. We saw an opportunity to accelerate that through strategic acquisitions, and with a strong balance sheet, the timing was right to bring in additional resources, infrastructure and capital.”

Gergis highlights AFG’s board involvement, via COO Lisa Bevan, as particularly valuable. “I think we’re a very agile business,” he says. “It’s been great to have a corporate business partner that can ground you in decision-making. Our approval for access to a capital facility has assisted us in acquiring a few businesses in a short period of time, which was part of our strategy that we first discussed with AFG.”

While Loan Path Finance had already successfully acquired smaller businesses before AFG’s involvement, Gergis notes that “having the backing of AFG as a listed business, with access to its strong analytical capabilities and rigorous due diligence framework, gives us a high level of confidence in the decisions we make.”
