The partnership between Cerberus and the Axsesstoday team is the second Cerberus acquisition in Australia. In 2018, it acquired Bluestone Group’s Australasian mortgage lending and portfolio servicing operations, which Allens also advised on.

Mr Story said: “Cerberus’ acquisition of SME equipment finance lender, Axsesstoday, is its second successful acquisition in Australia. We were delighted to work with Cerberus again, having previously advised on its acquisition of Bluestone Group’s mortgages business last year.”
