Ballast partners with Go Gecko
Perth-based financial services provider Ballast will offer its full service offering to Go Gecko Real Estate as part of a formal strategic alliance.
Ballast chief executive Frank Paratore said the Go Gecko franchises and their clients would be able to utilise Ballast's lending and aggregation platform as well as the rest of its offering.
According to Go Gecko CEO Noel Scully, its clients will have access to a variety of financial services, saving them time and money.
"With the best interests of our clients at heart, our offices can combine with Ballast to point them in the right direction and provide further value," he said.
The agreement with Go Gecko follows a similar strategic alliance entered into by Ballast and First Class Accounts bookkeepers and their clients in July last year.
