About Us

So, you’re looking for a smarter way to get the coffee machine you want.

Buddy Started in 2016 when Will's (CEO) buddy needed to fund a coffee machine for his first cafe. The pair soon recognised a need for an alternative finance option focusing on high-end coffee equipment.
Buddy has grown organically over the years and now provides alternative funding solutions to over 500 venues across Australia, partners with some of Australia's top coffee roasters, resellers and first-time cafe owners.
