Simon Bell

Auckland, New Zealand

Simon Bell is a registered financial adviser, FSP468606, engaged by Finance New Zealand Limited, FSP468730. His official profile emphasizes fixed asset, equipment finance and working-capital solutions for medium to large businesses, while current official metadata also positions him around commercial and aviation finance. Finance New Zealand's aviation materials cover new or used aircraft, helicopters, drones, maintenance and ancillary aviation equipment, but the public aviation transaction cases found name another adviser, Greg Columbus, rather than Simon.

Public sentiment is positive but thin and mostly sourced from official testimonials and case studies. Simon-specific public client stories praise his speed, business understanding and ability to match complex asset finance requests with suitable lenders. Independent review evidence is limited: KiwiBizInfo's current page shows 5.0 with 1+ reviews elsewhere and 0 reviews on KiwiBizInfo itself, while broader search snippets show inconsistent higher review-count claims that were not verified on the opened page. No meaningful Reddit, aviation forum or independent complaint pattern was found.

Positive themes

  • Responsive and efficient communication
  • Good understanding of client businesses and specialised assets
  • Ability to source options from multiple lenders or funding partners
  • Smooth process for complex or specialised asset finance
  • Firm-level aviation finance capability for helicopters, aircraft, drones and aviation equipment

Negative themes

  • Independent public review corpus is small and not enough for a confident reputation score
  • No public aircraft-specific rate card, loan-size range or full underwriting matrix found
  • No public case study found naming Simon Bell on an aviation transaction
  • Unrelated scam/impersonation warning may create name-confusion risk for users researching the firm

Forum themes

  • No relevant aviation forum or Reddit discussion about Simon Bell or Finance New Zealand aviation finance was found in public search results.
