Home - GBAC Farm Debt Consultants

ABOUT US

GBAC Advisory P/L is a professional agribusiness consultancy that specialises in negotiating farm loans and mortgages with banks on behalf of farmers.

Our team of experienced professionals have a deep understanding of the agricultural industry and the specific needs of farmers. CEO and founder, Greg Bloomfield, is a 4th Generation farmer. He and his wife have run sheep at Tullamore NSW and cattle at Braidwood NSW on a property settled by his great-grandfather. Greg was also Chairman of the largest District Council in NSW Farmers in his forties. Pat Murray is experienced in farm accounting and loan financial analysis. Apart from being a qualified CPA and economist she has worked on farms and with livestock.

OUR MISSION

As Agribusiness consultants to farmers needing to borrow or refinance with the bank, we believe, you should never have to struggle with high loan repayments that aren't tailored to your individual farm needs. Farm Loans need specific terms to cope with flood, fire, drought and government policy changes. These are rarely offered first up by banks. As GBAC farm debt consultants, we help farmers borrow better, obtain the right loan terms from the start. We do the hard work and negotiate your farm loans with fair terms, so your burdens and debts are minimised and you can focus on farming. If forced to farm debt mediation, we will help you win.

WHY CHOOSE US

We were the first Bank Borrower Consultants...

The first consultants to help farmers in trouble with debt as soon as banking was deregulated in 1987.

We know farming and borrowing

Greg Bloomfield is a 4th Generation farmer who has bred his own sheep and cattle on substantial farms in NSW. Greg's Great Grandfather John Hyland settled, cleared and ran stock on "Bettowynd" at Araluen out of Braidwood. His Grandfather Lindsay Bloomfield ran sheep and cattle on "Guntiabah" at "Coonabarabran". Greg rang sheep on "Burrabelong" at Tullamore and cattle at "Condry" Araluen, the best 3,300 acres of John Hyland's land.

Greg was a Foundation Fellow of the Institute of Company Directors having been a Fellow of the Institute of Directors from the age of 24 years. He is a Retd FCA, AICS and CPA. He has run businesses in real estate development, equipment hire and art hire.

Pat Murray has a Masters degree in Accounting and a degree in Economics having had extensive experience in financial management.
Pat has 10 years of assisting Greg's family with cattle operations at "Condry" and a decade in forensic investigation of bank conduct towards the farming community and is passionate about identifying breaches of the banking code of practice, state and federal laws.
She has 25 years experience as a business partner in financial analysis, budgeting and forecasting and project accounting.

Our firm is committed to helping farmers in every state and territory of Australia to receive fair treatment from their banks and government.

Our past record

Over the years we have consulted farm borrowers in every state and territory and in most cases arranged for their banks to write off a portion of the debts and sometimes refinance the balance elsewhere.

As experienced farm debt mediation consultants, our negotiators have had 100% of debts written off twice and
as much as $5 million written of a single debt. We have stopped numerous foreclosures and forced sales.

We have worked closely with highly respected Rural Financial Counsellors who provide a wealth of knowledge on farm grants, government funding etc. and are highly skilled at preparing financial data for farmers to provide to the bank.
By working with them we avoid duplication, cut costs and confer to solve problems.

INDEPENDENT

Whilst assistance from authorities and advisors who are funded by banks can be extremely helpful, in many ways they probably must choose the bank's side in any dispute, and so are not appropriate for serious negotiations with banks.

PRIVACY

As we are based well away from your local town or city, there is no chance of your private matters becoming a matter of local gossip.
The information you give us goes no further without your written express authority. We work for you exclusively. We never have and never will accept payment or commission from any bank.

Good morning Greg

Richard and I were so very fortunate to have found you on the Website. Our family had four weeks to leave our farm and everything we owned. From day one of our email communications we knew you were thorough. You stood up to our bank .....You picked us up during our lowest points and depths of despair.... You felt how we felt through the whole six months....Your strength in your writing and reporting allowed us to ‘BEAT THE BANK’… and we’ve never met you in person. Sincerely thank you for the work that you did, and the tools you gave us to move positively forward in life. We will be indebted to you until the day Rick and I retire.

Joan WA Wheat belt

Thanks for your recent assistance in taking on the banks and successfully negotiating a very positive result for my client. Without your specialist knowledge on bank debts and your skills at research and negotiation, our clients would have undoubtedly lost their home and their business. We were all impressed to have won the showdown with the bank and its high-powered lawyers. How nice to see the bank write off in excess of $400,000 and the home saved. Our clients are most grateful. Thank you again.

Robert CPA Sydney NSW

Thanks to GBAC helping us successfully fight off the bank and avoid certain bankruptcy we are now home owners once again.

We will be forever in their debt and would most definitely recommend their services to anyone facing challenges with their bank.
