The journey so far
Started as an international student, working as a Retail Assistant at Brighton Road Food Market.
Progressed to Store Manager, gained permanent residency and purchased his first home.
Operated a petrol station, newsagency and lottery business.
Combined mortgage broking expertise with first-hand business and homeownership experience.
Why the name Brighton?
Brighton Road Food Market is where Chintan's Australian working life began — a reminder of how far a considered, patient approach can take you.
The name Brighton Finance carries that history forward: a business built on the belief that understanding people comes before understanding products.
