Report Overview
Aussie Home Loans is one of Australia's most recognised mortgage broking franchises, founded in 1992 by John Symond and now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). With approximately 200 franchise stores and mobile brokers across Australia, Aussie brokers help customers navigate the home loan market and earn trailing commissions on settled loans. The franchise operates on a commission-based model with no traditional royalty or marketing fees — franchisees share commissions with the franchisor. This report provides a comprehensive, independent analysis of the Aussie Home Loans franchise opportunity for prospective buyers.
