Report Overview
Mortgage Choice is an ASX-listed mortgage and financial services franchise operating approximately 350 broker businesses across Australia. Founded in 1992, it pioneered the mortgage broking franchise model in Australia, offering franchisees access to a panel of 25+ lenders with national brand support, lead generation, and compliance infrastructure. Unlike most franchises, Mortgage Choice operates on a commission-based model with 0% royalties and 0% marketing fees — the franchisor earns revenue from aggregation margins on loan settlements. This report provides an independent, commercially focused analysis of the Mortgage Choice franchise opportunity.
