This nationwide partnership brings together two franchise-based businesses that are deeply embedded in their local communities. With more than 450 Green Acres and Hire A Hubby franchisees now able to access MTF’s tailored business lending solutions, the alignment was clear from the start. Both companies are built on the success of small businesses across New Zealand - trusted Kiwi brands that believe in backing local. As more SMEs seek meaningful relationships with their lenders, MTF stands out as the only finance provider actively investing in expanding its local footprint to meet that need.
We’re backed by a $1.1B ledger, a national footprint and a belief in Kiwi potential.
“MTF can really meet the needs of small businesses,” says Natasha Callister, Chief Commercial Officer of MTF. “We’re thrilled to work alongside Green Acres and Hire A Hubby to help franchisees across the country realise their potential, grow their businesses, and create sustainable futures. We’re backed by a $1.1B ledger, a national footprint and a belief in Kiwi potential. But the difference is that our franchises are owner-operated, so we really do understand small business and the important role they play in local communities.”
Franchised Businesses Limited CEO Logan Sears says the partnership reflects a shared ambition to support the entrepreneurial spirit of everyday Kiwis.
“Our franchisees are the backbone of the communities they serve. Whether mowing lawns or tackling home renovations, they’re small business owners providing essential services. Partnering with MTF means we can offer them smart, accessible funding that helps them get ahead.”
Key benefits of the partnership include:
- Streamlined access to business lending for existing and aspiring franchisees.
- Support for equipment and vehicle finance, helping franchisees stay competitive and operationally strong.
- A shared commitment to business success, backed by MTF’s nationwide team.
This initiative also opens doors for new Green Acres and Hire A Hubby franchisees, making business ownership more accessible to hardworking Kiwis who want to take the next step in their careers.
MTF’s business loan product is designed to help business get ahead, while making borrowing personal and straight-forward. With more than 50 years of financing experience and a reputation for a people-centric approach, MTF is well-positioned to support ambitious New Zealanders - whether they’re behind the wheel of a car or behind the mower.
