I’d never hocked anything before a business deal went bad.

I’d just started a business and got caught out on a bad deal with a customer. I just needed some short term funding to sort something out. It was the first time in 16 years of being out on my own that I’ve hocked anything. It’s just one of those things – had to be done! So I called first to see if they’d take the trailer that I had. It was quite specialised and specific to a purpose. They were great and saw the value in it right away.

I think they’ve got a great business and I’d definitely use them again. Hopefully I won’t get myself into that position again, but at least if I do, I can call up the Yatala office and say ‘Mate, I’m struggling again I need some help’.
