The BIA and BIAVic have endorsed MitchCap as the Preferred Finance Company to the marine industry and together have launched an Industry Financial Skills and Awareness Program for all members nationally. As part of the agreement MitchCap – Australia’s largest Leisure Boat Financier by OEM and dealership partnerships – will provide knowledge, data analytics and commercial resources to support the industry members with commercial acumen growth opportunities.

The program will include a fixed annual sponsorship contribution and variable contribution on every boat, motor and trailer financed for members across Australia by MitchCap. These funds will support and expand the vital work for both industry bodies, ensuring the program’s success.
